Models getting bypassed for celebrities on the cover of magazines and as the stars of ad campaigns is not a new phenomenon, and it’s certainly not one that seems likely to be going away anytime soon.
Who knew that Madonna could be even more photoshopped than she was in the last Louis Vuitton campaign?
The Fall 2009 images look altered to the point where Madonna is almost unrecognizable, and in each of the five images that have leaked she seems to be wearing some variation on the odd-looking bunny getup she wore to this year Costume Institute Gala.
Other celebs going the modeling route include Pixie Geldof, who was styled by Katie Grand when she modeled for Giles Deacon’s look book in the London-based designer’s East London studio. Deacon, who recently expanded into beachwear, will be showing his upcoming Spring/Summer 2009 ready to wear collection in Paris after being crowned this year’s ANDAM Award winner.
