Over here at All The Rage we’re consistently in awe of Louis Vuitton’s ability to land a mind-numbing assortment of stars from the global constellation of celebrity for its ad campaigns. Some of the more memorable ones featured Mikhail Gorbachev, Keith Richards and Catherine Deneuve (not in the same ad, mind you) and astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell and Sally Ride (very much in the same ad, and gazing up at the nighttime sky). The newest print ad, which will appear in June issues of various international glossies, is another group effort — and this time the luxury brand has managed to wrangle three of the greatest soccer (that’s “football” to the rest of the world) players of all time for its Core Values campaign: Pelé of Brazil, Diego Maradona of Argentina and France’s Zinedine Zidane — just in time to capitalize on the mania surrounding the month-long 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, scheduled to kick off on June 11. – From LA Times
