Annie Leibovitz & Mikhail Gorbachev for Louis Vuitton

When we think of the face of Louis Vuitton, glamazons like Madonna and Lara Stone spring to mind — not the photographer Annie Leibovitz. But the newest installment of the label’s “core values” campaign features a shot of Leibovitz with her longtime friend Mikhail Baryshnikov.

Leibovitz’s self-portrait is the latest in a series she’s shot for Vuitton, featuring stars outside the fashion firmament. (Previous ads have included Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, Keith Richards, Mikhail Gorbachev, Sofia and Francis Ford Coppola, and the astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell and Sally Ride.) Exclusive video interview footage of Leibovitz and Baryshnikov will be available at the Louis Vuitton Journeys web site beginning February 11th.
