Madonna for Louis Vuitton!

This clip features Marc Jacobs as he talks about the vision for the Fall 2009 Louis Vuitton ad campaign and his choice to use the legendary and fashion icon Madonna. Take a look behind the scenes. I love how interactive Madonna was in the shoot. Taking charge with fashion, I love it!

Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs Pay Tribute to Legendary Icon Stephen Sprouse

Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs (head designer right now) have teamed up and released a new line inspired by the legendary Stephen Sprouse. Now I have to admit, I have never heard of Sprouse until i received an alert that the new line had been released. So I had to read up on him really quickly. I thought it might change my mind and how I initially felt about the line...but it didn't. I still hate it.

To me brands such as Louis Vuitton and Chanel and Gucci and Dior are very classic, have a certain air of sophistication and should always have key elements that are the same. I know that for branding and marketing purposes they must appeal to different facets of people. Let's just say this is one trend I will not be participating in.

There is just something about this line that I cannot get with. Maybe in small doses, but I have a feeling that like many Americans, people have a problem with excess and don't know when to call it quits. CoCo Chanel always said take one accessory off before you leave the door. I have a feeling young and hip trendy women are going to take this too far. I'm very scared...
