Keith Richards has just been signed by Louis Vuitton for a major ad campaign...of course, an obvious choice...
"The Rolling Stones star Keith Richards is confused by his status as a "fashion icon" - because his bandmate Charlie Watts is the most stylish member of the group.
The legendary guitarist recently signed up to front a major advertising campaign for French fashion house Louis Vuitton - but Richards can't understand why he was chosen to represent such a famous high-end designer, because he never puts any effort into his own wardrobe selection. And he admits drummer Watts would have been a much more obvious choice.
He says: "Charlie Watts is the most stylish member. He spends his time on the beauty and the cut of the clothing.
"There he is on Saville Row (London street famed for its tailors), and I'm the fashion icon? Fashion thinks more about me than I think about it."
Mmmm he does look a bit scary, doesn't he? But then here's Charlie Watts
He does look more Louis Vuitton, but not so interesting...who would you choose?
you should check out Keith's Journey on the louis Vuitton Website.
ReplyDeleteThey posted 8 chapters of "London by Keith Richards", it total to 20 minutes in which Keith talks about Soho in the 60s, the concert they had in Hyde Park for Brian Jones, and his quest for the "quintessential" Shepperd's Pie.
