David Bowie

'L'Invitation Au Voyage' (Louis Vuitton commercial)

We already knew that David Bowie would be appearing in a short film as part of Louis Vuitton's latest campaign, and now it has arrived.

The advertisement is called L'Invitation Au Voyage, and it shows a woman meeting Bowie at a lavish Venetian party, where he performs a harpsichord version of his song "I'd Rather Be High." It turns out that calling this a "short film" is a bit of a stretch, since the full version is just a minute long, and it's really more of a commercial than a film; an abridged version of the ad will air on television.

It was directed by Romain Gavras and stars model Arizona Muse.

UPDATE: You can also see a slightly longer director's cut at the bottom of the page.
