This is the latest Louis Vuitton luggage and travel accessories collection ad campaign. Wondering ‘who is that man in the ad having to do with the luxury label?’ Former Russian President Mikhail S. Gorbachev. Yes, a poweful political figure for Louis Vuitton. Here’s a little trivia about him– Having received the Nodel Prize in 1990, »

Considering the fact that she’s just 17 this year, she wears really appropariate dresses to movie premieres compared to the likes of Lindsay, Paris and gang. Emma happens to be a fan of Chanel.
