Japanese video game character or .... Madonna?


Madonna's new advert for Louis Vuitton (by Marc Jacobs) is about to hit the printed page. Some shots of the campaign are above.

Now forgive me for casting a critical eye over the whole affair but seriously? Are we supposed to be seduced by these pictures of a woman who resembles nothing so much as a Japanese virtual sweetie or a video game character?

That's just plain weird. Air brushed to within a whisker of existence. To me that's not selling a bag. That's an invitation to have people go "OH MY GOD!"
