Following his acclaimed Spring/Summer 2009 ready-to-wear show for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs knew exactly who he wanted to embody the spirit of the season.

He chose Madonna.

The pop star will be the face of Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer fashion campaign.

She was photographed by her long-time creative collaborator Steven Meisel (this was also his first shoot for an LV campaign).

Apparently, the set is reminiscent of a Paris café in the Forties, with its zinc bar, bentwood chairs and air thick with smoke.

In the campaign, you’ll see Madonna transform into Marc Jacobs’ vision of the quintessential Parisienne, striking provocative poses in the season’s sexy short skirts, ethnic-inspired sandals and animal-print bangles.

Pics coming soon!
