Video of Sean Connery's Louis Vuitton Photo Shoot by Annie Liebovitz
Here's is a video of the Annie Liebovitz photo shoot of Sean Connery for Louis Vuitton. The photo shoot took place in the Bahamas. This great photo was one of the results from the shoot. It would be interesting to know if Louis Vuitton sold more of its waterproof travel bags as a result of the Connery Core Values campaign. Louis Vuitton also made a donation to the Climate Change Project on behalf of Connery. (via Strobist)

WWD reports
that the original James Bond, Sean Connery, will star in a new ad campaign for Louis Vuitton.
NEVER SAY NEVER: Louis Vuitton, which has featured Mikhail Gorbachev, Keith Richards and Francis Ford Coppola in its "core values" advertising campaign, has landed another surprising agent for its message. Rumor has it Sean Connery, the original James Bond, has posed for Annie Leibovitz's camera, just in time for the Quantum of Solace frenzy.
Well, that's a bit of a surprise. But if Mikhail Gorbachov can star in a LV ad, why can't Connery? It's now considered something even world leaders do.
