Keith Richards stars in Louis Vuitton ad campaign

guitarist Keith Richards is the star of the new Louis Vuitton ad campaign.

The 64-year-old is pictures in the ad with his guitar in a hotel room, next to a cup of tea sitting on a Louis Vuitton suitcase.

In traditional rock ‘n roll hotel style, a skull-print scarf is thrown over a nearby lampshade.

The campaign was shot by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz, and Richards will donate his fee to Al Gore’s Climate Project which is also supported by Louis Vuitton.
