Louis Vuitton Photographs Annie Leibovitz

Famed photographer Annie Leibovitz is used to being on the other side of the camera. But fashion house Louis Vuitton decided they wanted to portray Annie as their new model for their ad campaign.

Annie posed with ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshikov in a photo portraying the behind-the-scenes look from a shoot. The tag line of the picture, taking in Annie’s New York studio, reads: “The journey of a star, captured in a flash.”

Louis Vuitton communication director Antoine Arnault tells WWD, “She’s a real, pure, 100 percent artist. We’ve always been very committed to her, to her talent… She just gets in [her subjects'] souls. This campaign has really become almost a saga.”

The photo will be a part of LV’s Spring/Summer spots, which will debut February 1st.
