Sailor Stripes, Outside Louis Vuitton

Keep an eye out for this woman, because she attracted the attention of many street style photographers outside the Louis Vuitton show in Paris. The look is effortlessly cool, even laid back: sailor striped shirt paired with a double breasted navy blazer, white pants and blue “flatform” shoes. And yet everything hits the right note. I like that her hair is a bit mussed – it keeps the whole thing from looking too done.

Addendum: These are the Prada flatforms that are getting so much flak from non-admirers. They actually look perfectly good in real life.

Last Show: Louis Vuitton SS2011

Alas, it’s always sad when Fashion Week ends, so I’ve been delaying this post for weeks. But on the last day in Paris, the Louis Vuitton show capped off the week, and a number of interesting models, celebs and fashion people made the scene.

Louis Vuitton Miniature Accessories

As we move away from logo mania, expect accessories to get more whimsical – which is what makes these miniature accessories by Louis Vuitton so maddeningly brilliant. The label that spurred on the logo craziness of the aughts is now leading the way towards a more subtle type of branding: If you look closely and you’ll see that even the appliqué brown hen is logo’d.

Though they don’t approach the over-the-top logoization of Marc and Lorenzo’s matching Louis Vuitton beach towel outfits in St. Barts, the bird, bunny, squirrel and hen change purses are still undeniably cute. Louis Vuitton triumphs again.

No word on the price yet, but we expect they won’t be cheep.

Book It: Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture

Of the three new fashion tomes Eric Wilson reviewed in today’s Times, the one that sounds the most worthwhile is this Louis Vuitton book, Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture ($130). Not only does it come with a jacket designed by Takashi Murakami, it has a cool plexiglass cover, perfect for those of us who sometimes accidentally use our coffee table books as a coaster.

Of course, even more important it what’s inside: a pictorial retrospective of the brand’s many collaborations with designers in the worlds of art, fashion and architecture. It’s published by Rizzoli and is only available in Louis Vuitton stores and online at louisvuitton.com, so don’t try trolling for it on Amazon – mon Dieu! It’s buried on Vuitton’s hard-to-navigate website, but you can get directly to it buy clicking here.
