That Mikhail Gorbachev’s come a long way hasn’t he? From leader of the unfree, communist world, to a slave to capitalist fashion.
Yep, former Soviet Union leader Mikhail Gorbachev has signed up with fashion label Louis Vuitton to model their latest bag.
To my eye, it looks just like all their other bags. But the picture of Gorby is stunning – he looks like he’s just about to exchange some priceless nuclear secret with James Bond.
As Sean says – “Very Cold Warish.”
Anyway, for interests sake, Gorbachev is joined in this latest Vuitton campaign by Catherine Deneue, Andrei Agassi and Steffi Graf. Oh, and Gorbachev’s picture was taken by Annie Leibovitz.

if you don’t recognize it’s shot in Berlin,the wall you see is the berlin wall, or what is left of it and you can see the Berlin TV tower in the background, anyway Gorbachov is disgusting
It is a great picture, but it does not make me want to go buy a an overpriced bag.
Awhile back, someone (might’ve been David Remnick) stated that MSK has spent his last ten or so years requesting hefty speaking engagement fees for appearances outside of Russia.
