Madonna recently became the face for H&M, the Swedish retail clothing chain with 1900 stores in 22 countries. I’m not a customer, finding their clothing kind of bland, with little or no distinctive flavour or style.
I was slightly (very slightly) surprised watching a huge Madonna H&M billboard in a poor, rather run-down part in Antwerp-North. She’s famous, filthy-rich and has it all. Why degrade yourself on a 25m (75 feet) billboard in a run down part of town, somewhere in Europe?
BTW: don’t you love the fake English accent Madonna has been cultivating recently? Kind of sad and pathetic, for someone with an amazing musical legacy.
