Annie Leibovitz for Louis Vuitton 2010-01-22 01:20:35

Annie Leibovitz is normally the one behind the camera, but for Spring 2010 she was finally convinced to pose for Louis Vuitton. She was unsure at first, but eventually agreed on the basis that somebody else would pose with her for the campaign that will appear in publications from 1st February. She selected ballet legend Mikhail Baryshnikov (probably better known to you as Aleksandr Petrovsky from Sex and the City) who has been the focus of her work before.

Vuitton communication director Antoine Arnault proposed the idea to help Annie with her much talked about financial problems. He explained, "She’s a real, pure, 100 percent artist. We’ve always been very committed to her, to her talent." The image was taken in Annie's studio as she appears to eyeing up her subject, Mikhail, whilst posing next to her Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag.
