Mikhail Gorbachev for Louis Vuitton.

Former Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, is the new face of Louis Vuitton. Genius? A rather strange idea, to be sure, but one that just might work. After all, who can resist that dead-sexy purple birthmark? (By the by, I'm cringing as I type this...)

Move over, Scarlett Johansson!



Mikhail Gorbachev has arrived.

Well I know a few things that are dead-sexier than Gorbachev and his purple birthmark, and those are: Louis Vuitton's Nomade Lockit Vertical bag, Suhali Lockit MM, Monogram Canvas Tulum GM, Damier Canvas Hampstead GM, Epi Leather Bowling Montaigne GM, Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Sac Mary Kate TST, Suhali L'Épanoui GM.
