Louis Vuitton's Lunar Landing

Sally Ride, Buzz Aldrin and Jim Lovell
-
In a striking new visual by Annie Leibovitz, Louis Vuitton highlighs the 4oth anniversary of the moon landing by bringing together three giants of space exploration: Buzz Aldrin, the second man to set foot upon the Moon; Jim Lovell, who guided his crew back to Earth as the commander of Apollo 13; and Sally Ride, who in 1983 became the first American woman to enter space.
-
Shot in the California desert, the three astronauts stare knowingly at the sky from a battered pickup truck, and just happen to have brought along an LV Icare travel bag in Monogram canvas. The tag line echoes Neil Armstrong’s 1969 quote: “Some journeys change mankind forever.”
-
Ummm, this is all well and good but since when does Louis Vuitton care about events in American history? Word is that LV has decided to shift its focus to “core values.” Right, because luxury handbags are about as American as apple pie and space travel. Sounds like a "survive the recession" tactic if I've ever heard one.

Michelle Obama covers Vogue!

It's the First Lady in fuchsia! Michelle Obama looks long, lean, and serene in her cover photo for the March issue of Fashion Bible, Vogue darling. Shot by Annie Liebovitz at the Hay Adams Hotel in D.C., Michelle is pictured in another gown by Jason Wu, who designed her inaugural ball gown.

The legendary Andre Leon Talley penned the cover story, which details all her fashion-related thoughts and musings. Inside, Mrs. O wears a Narciso Rodriguez dress while holding an old-fashioned phone.

When talking about the Michelle Obama interview and cover, Vogue head bish Anna Wintour said, "Change was the clarion call of Barack Obama's election campaign, though I don't think any of us at Vogue initially realized that would include the difference that was going to be made by First Lady Michelle Obama's wardrobe."

Check out some clips from the interview, here!
