Pink Rock Candy – Top fashion trends, news and shopping of 2010

Remember when you were trying to figure out why Mikhail Gorbachev was in the Louis Vuitton ads, but in all actuality, you didn’t really care enough to go look it up, or was that just me? Well, I’ve finally been inspired to figure out why there are a bunch of ultra famous figures in the LV luggage ads. Apparently, it’s part of their “Core Values” campaign photographed by Annie Leibovitz. What was my inspiration to make such a discovery? Keith Richards!

The aging Stone and his axe are the newest models for the LV campaign, and I have to say it’s really hot. I don’t know what it is about old, drug worn rockers but I always seem to be drawn to them in a strange probably not so PC way. Plus, his eyes are sort of haunting, like you want to know what fantasias he’s seen during his life time— I’m sure they’re be surreal.

For some reason I’m really excited to see these ads in magazines. I think I’d rather look at Richard’s weathered face than see another 10 tons of ads splattered with the perfection that is Kate Moss (as much as I do love her).

Take the jump to see a larger version.
