 I really like this advertise campaign shooted by Steven Meisel!!

The Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2011-2012 campaign shoot was a complex and carefully coordinated operation involving not only six young, up-and-coming models, five vintage cars and their chauffeur, but also seven pairs of pedigree dogs.

"Steven Meisel and I met and decided we would do this wonderful story of beautiful vintage cars, little dogs and fresh-faced young women. It's a very classic scenario, and of course it suggests travel, but I think we gave it a fresh, modern and sometimes a little bit naughty, tongue-in-cheek spin." Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton Artistic Director

These striking scenes take up the narrative of the Louis Vuitton fashion show at the point where the woman leaves her hotel and steps – along with her pet pooch – into her chauffeur-driven limousine. "Who wouldn't want to be this gorgeous young woman in the back seat of this beautiful car?" asks Marc Jacobs. "And wherever she's going, she's dressed in style this season by Louis Vuitton."

"Louis Vuitton’s forthcoming fall-winter campaign has it all: pretty young women, striking vintage cars, vaguely fetishistic fashions and adorable pooches.

In fact, dozens of canine hopefuls turned out for the casting, with only seven pedigreed pairs making the cut. Their doleful eyes compete for attention with six up-and-coming models with tongue-twisting, Blackberry-thumb-inducing names: Zuzanna Bijoch, Daphne Groeneveld, Gertrud Hegelund, Nyasha Matonhodze, Anaïs Pouliot and Fei Fei Sun.

Accessories also share the spotlight, including high-heeled rubber boots, officer caps, driving gloves and variations on the Lockit handbag, including one crocodile version that can be chained to a diamond-pavéd handcuff.

“Who wouldn’t want to be this gorgeous young woman in the back seat of this beautiful car?” asks Marc Jacobs, Vuitton’s artistic director, highlighting the tongue-in-cheek take on the French brand’s familiar travel theme.

Steven Meisel shot the campaign, with styling by Karl Templer, makeup by Pat McGrath and hair by Guido Palau. It is slated to break in August issues."

World’s Most Valuable Luxury Brands

Louis Vuitton is the world’s most valuable luxury brand for the sixth consecutive year according to Millward Brown Optimor’s 2011 BrandZ study.The brand, owned by Paris-based LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, has a value of $24.3 billion, an increase of 23 percent from 2010.

That’s almost as much as the combined values of Hermes, Gucci and Chanel, which ranked second, third and fourth in this year’s luxury-brand standings.
Hermes, in which LVMH holds a 20.2 percent stake, posted the biggest increase in brand value in the luxury industry with a 41 percent jump to $11.9 billion.

Gucci’s value declined 2 percent to $7.45 billion, affected by French parent PPR’s financial performance. Chanel advanced 23 percent to $6.82 billion.

Hennessy, Moet & Chandon and Fendi placed seventh, eighth and ninth in the study, respectively, with values of $3.42 billion to $5 billion, meaning LVMH owns or has a stake in five of the industry’s 10 most-valuable brands.

The Cartier and Rolex brands ranked fifth and sixth in the luxury-brand ranking, while Burberry replaced Tiffany as No. 10.

Louis Vuitton opens pop-up store in Cannes

On the occasion of the Cannes International Film Festival, Louis Vuitton has opened a pop-up store on the Croisette. Next to its existing Cannes store, the temporary shop focuses on what the town is famous for incredible films and elegant eveningwear.

“The Maison celebrates its attachment to the city of Cannes by unveiling an exceptional custom tailored store in homage to the world of cinema.”

The store’s long central passageway evokes a pier, whilst screens embedded in the walls broadcast scenes which conjure a French-Riviera-meets-Twenties-Shanghai feel.

The collection itself is displayed within three distinct sections : Cocktail Party by the Pool, Iconic Evening and Evening Grand Soir.

Following through the promenade, a garden courtyard can be seen at the far end.

“Our new Cannes pop-up store, embedded in the Festival and Côte d’Azur ambience, brings an alternative and exceptional offer to our clients visiting Cannes during the Festival as well as during the summer,” Yves Carcelle – president, chairman and ceo of Louis Vuitton – said.
