At Louis Vuitton, This Year’s Man Is Chinese
Louis Vuitton finally has given a nod to its most important demographic in Asia: Chinese men.
Last week, the French luxury brand unveiled a new advertising campaign featuring Godfrey Gao, a Taiwanese-Canadian actor and model — the first time the company has used an Asian man to showcase its products.
Mr. Gao, a Vancouver native, has appeared in a number of Taiwanese television dramas, including “Volleyball Lover” and “I Want to Become a Hard Persimmon.” His celebrity is prominent enough in Asia to attract Hong Kong paparazzi — in December they caught him canoodling with a local starlet, though one could argue it was because of the starlet that he got snapped.
I think that it is interesting to note that Louis Vuitton features Elle McPherson in their shows. She in her mid-forties and looks not a day over thirty! They also use REAL women who are slim with boobs and curves, in a word–gorgeous.
