We wouldn't normally associate luxury brand [Louis Vuitton](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-travel-campaign) with the borough of Queens, NYC. However, the new [Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2008-2009 ad Campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-the-city) uses the iconic Unisphere of Queens as its backdrop.

The ads feature the stunning Eva Herzigova parading various [Louis Vuitton bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/express-handbag), 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](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beckhams-last-jacobs-ads) with a [cross-dressing](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marc-jacobs-fall-winter-0809) male model in women's clothes.
