We wouldn't normally associate luxury brand Louis Vuitton with the borough of Queens, NYC. However, the new Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2008-2009 ad Campaign uses the iconic Unisphere of Queens as its backdrop.
The ads feature the stunning Eva Herzigova parading various Louis Vuitton bags, shoes, stockings, coats, and other fashion items around the Unisphere.
The campaign was photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in the typical Louis Vuitton rich saturation and hue style.
The campaign is a fresh breath of air from the Marc by Marc Jacobs recent crazy ads that substituted the robotic Victoria Beckham with a cross-dressing male model in women's clothes.
