For Louis Vuitton's new 'Core Values' campaign, the company enlisted Annie Leibovitz to photograph three astronauts, Jim Lovell, Buzz Aldrin and Sally Ride.
The Louis Vuitton 'Core Values' campaign is in celebration of the 40th anniversary of man landing on the moon. The picture involves the three former moon visitors staring up at the celestial body.
The great shot by Leibovitz will be used for Vuitton campaigns in the near future.
