Louis Vuitton: “Madonna is old”

Material Girl who turned 51 this August has been dropped as the face of fashion giant Louis Vuitton and replaced by the 25 year old British model Lara Stone, the real IT model of the day.

Lara will be featured in the brand’s ad campaigns for 2010, while Madge was all so porcelain beautiful in LV’s Fall/Winter 2009 promos.

After two seasons with such a huge star [Madonna], Marc Jacobs decided to take a breather and work with a model – and not just any model,” Anoine Arnault, Vuitton’s communications director, said.

Though Madge looked photoshop-y young and fresh in the ad photos I’m very excited about Lara’s ads as I’m sure they’ll be simply terrific.

Still, Madonna’s $9.85 million deal with LV was one of the most intriguing in fashion business of the recent years. Though 50+, Madonna knows how to make a buzz.

   Its all a sham. Nothing but tax deductible PR crap. Make the people love you. Take their money. Convince them that you’re making the world a better place. Take more of their money. Be nothing but a greedy sell-out hypocrite pig with a fake commercial personality and a fake cause to pose for. Concentrate even more of the world’s wealth and resources and lead the ignorant masses to believe that you’re doing the opposite. I can’t stop them and I can’t punish them but I can tell you that their bogus promises to make the world a better place will not be kept. Any ‘humanitarian’ progress made in one area will always be lost in another with a net loss for the majority. There will be more poverty. More starvation. More conflict. Meanwhile the rich will keep getting richer and richer and richer. They will always dumb us down and divert our attention from one area to another. Just like they have been for at least 25 years. Ethipoia (still bad), Darfur (even worse), Malawi (still bad). As they concentrate more and more of the world’s wealth and resources, they will cause more inflation, more poverty, more starvation, and more conflict on a global scale. In order to divert our attention, they will adopt another cause to pose for. and another. and another. and another. Each time, putting their fake humanitarian stamp on it and jet-setting the world in the name of ‘humanity’. Actually charging their private jet rides and 5 star hotel accomodations to their own bogus ‘foundations’. Pleading with us to buy more of their products and support more of their ‘good will’. Taking more of our money and throwing a few crumbs back to the poor along the way. With another photo-op and worldwide publicity for each and every crumb. Like I said, its all a sham. Nothing but a giant marketing gimmick and a cheap excuse to keep getting richer and richer and richer. These people are actually causing the same problems they pretend to care about. It is the greatest scam of all time. I will not forgive them for it. I will expose as many as possible for the hypocrite pigs that they are. Thats my cause. Its the ugly truth. Someone has to tell it.

   Yes Madonna’s new all airbrushed ad is a great marketing aspect. It is very modern, classy and elegant, and this is why it relates so much to the LV brand in general.
