What does fashion have to do with this man?

Who knew that the Nobel Peace Prize recipient and former Soviet leader, Mikhail S. Gorbachev would be cast as a fashion model for one of the world's most well-known luxury brands?

Also cast in the campaign? Tennis power couple Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, and French film queen Catherine Deneuve (who modeled for Yves Saint Laurent in 1992)
