Famous-Face Keith Richards To Endorse Louis Vuitton

Keith Richards is to become the new public face of Louis Vuitton.

The graggly-faced (may I say "leathery"-faced) Rolling Stones star will endorse the leathery brand in what is being billed as his first ever ad campaign.

In an ad shot by legendary portraitist Annie Leibovitz, Richards is seen cradling his guitar on a hotel-room bed, the lights part obscured by skull-print black drapes.

Richards plans to donate the fee for the ad to the Climate Project, launched by Nobel-winning former US vice-president Al Gore and backed by Louis Vuitton.

Famous faces stars to have represented Vuitton in the past include former Russian leader Mikhail Gorbachev, French screen icon Catherine Deneuve, and US actresses Scarlett Johansson and Uma Thurman.
