Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards is the new face of Louis Vuitton. For his first-ever ad campaign, the 64-year-old Richards, who has a rocky history of drug use, is seen cradling his guitar on a hotel-room bed, the light partly obscured by skull-print black drapes.
"Some journeys cannot be put into words. New York. 3am. Blues in C," runs the slogan of the ad, shot by US photographer Annie Leibovitz and due to appear in magazines next month.
