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 Louis Vuitton Outlet fashion designers Karl Lagerfeld, 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.
It was rumored from the beginning that Lagerfeld, perhaps the project's most surprising participant, would make Louis Vuitton Luggage a punching bag, and not only that, but it'll come in three sizes, hang with handbag-like straps on its included stand and also function as a regular handbag. For more serious training, a full-size punching bag and storage trunk, both covered in monogram canvas, are also available for an undisclosed price. To finish out the theme, a set of boxing gloves and their weekender-like case are also part of Lagerfeld's capsule collection.
Louboutin Louis Vuitton Wallets and Sherman went in particularly colorful directions with their contributions, while Kawakubo was as weird as you'd expect her to be and Gehry was duly architectural. Newson's fleece-paneled backpacks were easily the most wearable of bags in the collection, a sensibility that should serve him well at his new employer: Apple.
Here's Nicky Hilton, headed to lunch at The Smile in downtown Manhattan, carrying a Louis Vuitton Trompe L'oeil Trocadero Bag, which, according to our research, seems to date all the way back to Fall 2006. I'd like to think she pulled this one out of the archives just for us. In any case, this Trocadero looks great with her simple little black dress and eye-popping animal print sandals.
Nicky has two truly splendid editions of "The Many Bags" (which you can view here and here), but I don't Louis Vuitton Sunglasses think we saw this particular Louis Vuitton bag in either one of them. Which begs the question: is Nicky holding out on us?! Oh, what we wouldn't do in exchange for a full guided tour of her handbag stash. (Are you listening, Nicky? Let's make this happen.)
Hilary Duff's handbag collection seems to expand exponentially with every passing season. If you feel the need to keep abreast of every Duff acquisition in recent history, you've certainly come to the right place. Though, be warned: it's an alarming amount of handbags. Check out "The Many Bags of Hilary Duff" and "The Many Bags of Hilary Duff, Part 2."
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 Louis Vuitton Handbags adding more high-priced exotic bags to its selection. 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. |
