Sean Connery only gets better with age!

Looks like Bond has proven once again that he is timeless! Silver screen hero Sean Connery is the new face of Louis Vuitton. Annie Leibovitz has snapped yet another winning story featuring this once-upon-a-time James Bond as part of the LV "Core Values" campaign for Fall 2008. These ads couldn't have come at a better time considering the Bond hype that's about to hit the box office with the October release of Quantum of Solace.

Joining past famous faces of LV ads such as Francis Ford Coppola, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Keith Richards, the photo features the 78 year old Scotsman on a dock near his home in the Bahamas. The caption on the photo reads, "There are journeys that turn into legends". Legendary indeed, we think Connery couldn't look better! Perhaps he has some skincare secrets to share...

Men in Women's Clothing: Mohr for Jacobs

At FABRIC Magazine we know that we can always count on fashion favourite, Marc Jacobs, for the wild and unexpected. While we've already commented on some of his more wacky designs, such as his reverse heel, it seems as though Jacobs is taking a step in a new and definitely interesting direction with his Fall 2008 ad campaigns. In the past, Jacobs has made some interesting and off-beat choices for his womens' campaigns, including White Stripes drummer, Meg White, and young actress Dakota Fanning. This season, friend of Jacobs', Juergen Teller shot male model, Cole Mohr, for both the upcoming men's and women's lines. For the women's campaign, Mohr is shown in a little black dress, with Breakfast at Tiffany's style jewelry to accompany. As one can imagine, Mohr's appearance in the latest Marc Jacobs ads have sparked quite a bit of buzz and hype. Isn't all publicity good publicity?

Moss and Ulliel for Longchamp

Kate Moss scores yet another campaign for Fall '08, this time with hottie French actor Gaspard Ulliel. French fashion house Longchamp, most famous for their Pliage handbags, has chosen this couple to appear in their classic Parisian-inspired ads for the upcoming season. Moss, who has been a spokesmodel for Longchamp since '06, joins Gaspard, a fashion rookie, most notable for his roles in Hannibal Rising, A Very Long Engagement, and Strayed, in these black and white Bardot-esque shots.
