RonJonSurfer Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Richards Joins Fashion Set The legendary guitarist has joined the high-end fashion set - after becoming the latest celebrity featured in an international advertising campaign for Louis Vuitton, who will make a donation to The Climate Project on his behalf. The Rolling Stones rocker posed for the designer's new Core Values promo, which aims to remind consumers of the fashion house's signature branded luggage accessories. The 64-year-old, who was snapped by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz for the campaign, is pictured cradling his guitar in a hotel room, glaring at the camera. A tag line appears under the photograph, stating: "Some Journeys Cannot Be Put Into Words," hinting the musician's well-worn face tells many a story. Head of communications for Louis Vuitton Antoine Arnault says, "He is a global icon, an inspiration to millions, and we are honored that - after Mikhail Gorbachev, Catherine Deneuve, Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi - he has agreed to represent Louis Vuitton. "This is the first time ever that Keith Richards has participated in an advertising campaign of any sort, and it is hard to imagine a more compelling embodiment of a personal, emotional journey." As part of the campaign, Louis Vuitton is making a donation to The Climate Project - spearheaded by Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore, on behalf of Keith Richards.

blue_n_white Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wow. Ole' Keith sure is making the rounds. First the "Just Say No" anti-drug campaign and now this. I will say however that if Keith Richards is in a modeling campaign,it gives hope to us all for maybe making the big time in the modeling world. Myself included.
