She (Madonna) is a style icon. But elegance and taste, she is not. This is why I thought Louis Vuitton might have made a better choice on the celeb-spoke for its SS09 collection. Marc chose her to reinforce the boldness of the latest collection. However, there is always an element of elegance and taste (except for the last collaboration with Richard Prince and the ‘mistake’). Louis Vuitton has engaged her to launch its next collection in a series of six shots set in a mid-twentieth century French café.
If the intention of the choice was for boldness and individuality, there are so many others in pop culture:
Music:
- Annie Lennox;
- David Bowie;
- Kylie Minogue;
- etc.
Art:
- Damien Hirst;
- Gilbert and George;
- Andres Serrano;
- etc...
amongst many, many others who can be considered iconoclasts with taste.
