Why Are There Hidden Messages In The New Louis Vuitton Ad?
Back in July, Louis Vuitton announced that Annie Liebovitz would photograph Mikhail Gorbachev for a fashion mag advertisement for the September books.
But New York‘s Daily Intelligencer noticed something about Gorby’s ad (besides the ex-Soviet premier spending his sunset years flogging luggage to well-heeled types) seems amiss.
In the advertisement, Gorbachev is photographed riding in a limousine past the ruins of the Berlin Wall with only a Louis Vuitton bag keeping him company. The Vuitton bag has what appears to be a book or a magazine sticking out.
The book is placed upside down, but the Russian-language text on it appears to read “Litvinenko‘s Murder — They Wanted to Give Up a Suspect for $7000.”
