I like the picture (by Annie Leibovitz), but it's kinda ironic that a former communist leader becomes the advertisement icon of the new line of (uber-commercial) Luis Vuitton Travelbags. This guy is a long way from home.

From IHT: Gorbachev was initially reluctant to participate, but he was persuaded when Louis Vuitton made a donation to his environmental charity, Green Cross International, which is cited in the ad. The other ads mention support for Al Gore's Climate Project.

Yeah, right...
