Louis Vuitton looks to celebrate the 40th anniversary of man landing on the Moon with their new campaign around the theme of travel and personal journey. “Louis Vuitton is proud to have brought together three exceptional figures whose own remarkable personal journeys have taken them into space:  Buzz Aldrin, who in the course of the historic Apollo 11 mission with Neil Armstrong on 20^th and 21^st July 1969, became the second man to set foot upon the Moon;  Jim Lovell, the commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission in 1970, who − as the world watched with bated breath − heroically guided his crew back to the safety of Earth;  and Sally Ride, who in 1983 became the first American woman to venture into space as a crew member on Space Shuttle Challenger.”
