The British actress with a special, rare skin color was chosen to pose in the Louis Vuitton film series : Double Exposure, where 19th century photographic process is used. That requires the sitter to pose for 12 seconds.
The Double Exposure project is a Louis Vuitton invention, that consists on slowing things down in a chaotic world urging for modernity and new lifestyles. It is the moment to focus on the sitter and only the sitter, to produce a timeless piece of art.
"The images really take you into the heart of history itself," Newton said. "To parallel that, we're getting into the history of me through the items I've chosen. One of the things about these photographs is the layers of meaning. Each picture is so unique so it just creates this desire to be my most essential self."
This is is why Thandie Newton decided to use some personal items of her in the photo shoot such as her passport, a teddy bear and a painting...
The clothes for the footage are from the Louis Vuitton ready-to-wear AW 11-12 collection, a collection all about women fetishes and sex, that is it. If you want to check the full show: http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/autumn-winter-2011/ready-to-wear/louis-vuitton/full-length-photos
