Louis Vuitton F/W 09-10 Ad Campaign, featuring Madonna as shot by Steven Meisel.
Ladies & Gentleman, This is the plastic look on steroids; Injected by extra-concentrated Photoshop hormones.
To me, Madona looks like a dead plastic Queen doll, laying in a casket; looking old and young at the same time.
Don't get me wrong, I love fantasy and fairytale, so the mood is up my alley, but still... she's a bit disturbing to look at. Pay attention to her right hand fingers, they not laying down comfortable, as if frozen in shock. And if you're going to photoshop her so much, why not get rid of the muscular edges of her arms? They don't match the smoothness of her face.
Another issue I see is how the bag looks out of place. It's too 'now', where the rest of the image is fantasized. They don't combine well together.
I need to swallow this a bit more, and also see more of the campaign, these are just my first reactionary thoughts. [Via]

agree. what's the point of hiring madonna if she is hardly similiar to herself?
