Madonna for Louis Vuitton

Dec 4, 2008 / Posted in Louis Vuitton by Megs Mahoney Dusil.


Louis Vuitton ads featuring Madonna

Check out the first look at the Louis Vuitton ads featuring Madonna! It was rumored that Madonna would be appearing in Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2009 ads and those rumors proved to be true. The shots were taken in a French Bistro setting and shot by Fashion photographer Steve Meisel.

After watching a Madonna concert, Marc Jacobs decided to choose Madonna as their new image model.

Designer Marc Jacobs said, “I just blurted out, I think we should do Madonna. I was totally just blown away by it, and moved by her performance, by what she had to say, and her energy.”

Reportedly with this deal Madonna bagged $10 million for the campaign, but that is also said to be a rumor.

What do you think of Madonna for Louis Vuitton?

    hmm. I don’t like it – the restaurant with all the patina and the dignity of aging and the oh-so-forever-young madonna who must not age.

    this makes the add seem quite odd imho.

    seems I am only able to see a sort of meta-level in this campaign.

    Love the campaign, I think the marketing group did an exceptional job in promoting the brand. Its something very different from what LV usually does.

    Madonna stands the test of time, just like LV. Madonna was a success in the 80s, just like the Speedy & the Alma!

    I love Madonna and I think this is a beautiful campaign..I love the way the photographs are taken. I think Marc Jacobs has really revolutionized Louis Vuitton and fashion in general.

  22. my new bag says:

    gotta say I like the LV logo one, regardless of who is modeling.
    and this is a first, haven’t been drawn to LV, frankly
    so I too am anxious to know where to see more pics, or
    where the bag will be available.

    Do you know the name of the bag and how much it will cost? and I would like to know your oppinios about LV reducing its prices in Japan and not in the rest of the world, do you believe they are devaluating themselves? so many year telling us they sell quality over quantity and now that quality is being devaluating by them

    One blogger said “LV and Madonna have stood the test of time”…
    True they are probably close to the same age ;) but the big difference is she has absolutely no class at all, and presumably LV does, although it is diminished by the use of her in their ads. Her overtly obscene performance over the past three decades should place her well below the standards for a company such as LV and the LV consumer as well.

    I think these photographs are magnificent. Absolutely beautiful. Madonna isn’t my favorite singer/person, but I think she is fine for the add. I’m kind of glad that they are not just using young hollywood.

    She looks so sultry in these Ads. She can bring spicy and risk taking crowds to the brand. The Louis Vuitton label suits her and I believe she could also do well as the face of Christian Lacroix.

    lamento no coincidir con la mayoria, pero me parece que madonna no era la mejor opcion para la firma, yo creo que alguien un poco mas elegante y de rasgos finos seria mas indicada… con todo respeto a los seguidores de madonna ella para mi es muy poco elegante.

    Madonna just trashes the LV brand.

    She is not a sophisticated woman in the true sense of the word, and after seeing hundreds of photos of her strutting around in dingy gym clothes, looking nasty and sweaty with her dark roots in need of a touch-up, I cannot believe that LV chose her!
