Move over, Scarlett Johansson. Mikhail Gorbachev is the new sexy and glamorous face of French luxury label Louis Vuitton.
A statement from from Vuitton, a division of the LVMH group, Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA said that the 76-year-old former Soviet leader will appear in an ad campaign shot in front of the Berlin Wall.
The ads focus on travel, a ‘core value’ of Louis Vuitton since 1854, with Gorbachev featured in a car, a Vuitton bag at his side and the Berlin Wall in the background. Graf and Agassi are also featured in the series, shown snuggling in a hotel room bed, as well as veteran French actress Catherine Deneuve shot sitting on a Vuitton suitcase in a foggy train station.
Vuitton stated it was making donations to former Vice President Al Gore’s The Climate Project to fight global warming and Green Cross International, founded by Gorbachev to promote sustained development.
The campaign will appear in magazines in September.
The fun is in the sharing:
