There's no doubt about it: Nicolas Louis Vuitton Outlet Ghesquiere knows exactly what he's up to at Louis Vuitton. The designer sent his second major collection for the brand down his Paris runway yesterday morning, and the results felt like a strong continuation on what he's built so far. On top of that, a lot of the bags were quite good.
The Louis Vuitton Icon and Iconoclasts Collection turned a lot of heads when it was announced, mostly because of the perennially bold-faced names from the worlds of fashion and design that had signed on to participate. Louis Vuitton tasked fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, Louis Vuitton Luggage Christian Louboutin, Rei Kawakubo, as well as architect Frank Gehry, photographer Cindy Sherman and industrial designer Mark Newson with creating artful fashion pieces using the brand's signature monogram print, and now we know what each of them did with the challenge.
Just when we thought we'd found all the mind-bending price information we could handle for the upcoming season, Louis Vuitton has gone and reminded us that one of the many internal changes it's making is adding more high-priced exotic bags to its selection. Louis Vuitton Wallets The Louis Vuitton Crocodile Lady Bag PM, which made its public debut in the brand's Fall 2014 runway show, will retail for a staggering $54,500.
I've got a Monday morning confession for you guys: I listen to too much Drake. Arguably, any Drake is "too much Drake," but I probably listen to too much, even by lenient standards. We all have our crosses to bear. In one song that comes up often on my iPod ("Up All Night," if you'd like to Google it and then judge me accordingly), rapper Nicki Minaj makes a guest appearance in which she speaks of giving Lil Wayne the "Louis Presidential Briefcase." If she's speaking of the Louis Vuitton Président Classeur Briefcase, Ms. Minaj clearly has fine taste.

The Président Classeur is, like a Birkin, a bag that's really in-your-face about being expensive and made of fine materials without being logo-ridden or otherwise obvious. It's discreet, in a way, but in other ways, totally not discreet–you can tell it costs a zillion dollars from 20 paces, even if Louis Vuitton Sunglasses you're not someone who's well-versed in luxury goods. It's the perfect status-symbol accessory for men (unless you count watches, which we don't, because this is not the place for watches).
Here's actress Emma Roberts, leaving the salon in West Hollywood with some fresh blonde locks and a Louis Vuitton Monogram Montsouris Backpack. This particular model of backpack is no longer made, and judging by the patina on this one's leather trim, I'm guessing Emma picked it up as a vintage piece. In case you weren't aware, you can now shop a vast assortment of vintage Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Fendi and Gucci bags and accessories at ShopBop.

Emma Roberts has one of those Hollywood careers that perplexes me greatly. She's never been in anything wildly successful; in fact her biggest earners might've been the PG flicks she first appeared in way back in 2006-2007. Louis Vuitton Shoes And yet, her star never seems to falter, regardless of whether or not she's actually appearing in films. (I had the same thoughts recently about Rachel McAdams.) Anyways, Emma's been around long enough to amass an impressive designer handbag collection, which you can peruse at your leisure here.
