Louis Vuitton Starts a New Trend


This fall, a new handbag trend is coming to the forefront, and it's not for women. Next season, not only will Kanye West be debuting his new Louis Vuitton branded sneaker, but the design house will also be distributing a collection of man bags AKA "murses."

We have to admit. The bags are tres luxe, but we're not sure that we'd want our boyfriends walking around with one.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the murse?

What a beautiful LV spectacle

The new Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite collection for men, window display has had lots of attention. The burglary heist-theme features the Damier bag under a glass case like a display in a museum, in the mirror image of the scene the bag appears to have been stolen. The glass is broken and fake security lasers are active. I thought this was a cool concept, apparently the scene was so realistic some police officers went into the store to investigate. lol

Louis Vuitton is very serious about protecting the exposure of their logo and it's likeness. A little bit too serious. The famed fashion house is now suing artist Nadia Plesner for using the likeness of the LV monogram multicolore bag in a painting.

According to her rep the images were created "to satirize the lack of media attention a genocide like Darfur gathers compared with the relative overexposure of skinny women with little dogs and designer bags."

This is, in my opinion, a worthy aim. Though I am a fashionista at heart, I realize that there are more important things going on in the world. When designers do things like this it just serves to reinforce the idea that all the fashion world cares about is image and profits. I simply don't understand it.

Catherine Deneuve for Louis Vuitton
I guess today is Vuitton ad day because I just happened upon this by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz of style icon Catherine Deneuve. I the international feel of these latest LV ads. They're so unexpected, yet they're timeless.

Scarlett for Louis Vuitton
Scarlett Johansson is the most amazing actress turned model. She's unbelievably stunning in these ads for Louis Vuitton. It's obvious that the concept for this ad campaign was tailored to her uniquely retro aesthetic. She's channeling a 60s sex goddess a la Bridget Bardot.
