Fab Ad: Louis Vuitton, Fall '10

If you thought Lara Stone's Spring Louis Vuitton ads were dreamy, wake up.

If you thought Lara Stone's Spring Louis Vuitton ads were dreamy, wake up. The brand chose a precision cast of models, spanning generations, for its latest campaign. Christy Turlington, Karen Elson, and Natalia Vodianova are calmly coiffing in an old-school dressing room, each one thoroughly gorgeous in prim ponies, ladylike dresses, and luxe leather. The mood is serene and stylish and, notice, ample bosom plays a supporting role. According to Antoine Arnault, Vuitton’s director of communications, "The atmosphere was very Fifties, very elegant." Shot by Steven Meisel, the period set was constructed in a New York studio. Simple, yet stunning. Agreed?

Naomi Campbell Unveils Louis Vuitton-Designed 2010 FIFA World Cup Trophy Case

Soccer stars love their designer logos, and the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has a similar, newfound focus on fashion.

Soccer stars love their designer logos, and the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has a similar, newfound focus on fashion. The 2010 World Cup Trophy, which since 1930 has traveled to host cities in an armored metal suitcase, will this year take the trip to South Africa in custom Louis Vuitton. The case, commissioned by FIFA, was created at Louis Vuitton's original workshop in Asnières, and will hold the solid 18-karat gold trophy until the final match on July 11 in Johannesburg.

"There was no reason why security couldn't be synonymous with elegance," said Louis Vuitton spokesman Antoine Arnault.

It appears FIFA agrees, as soccer's governing body has already placed an order for a similar design to be used during the 2014 World Cup.

Fashion in 50 Seconds 05/27/10 Marc's Hair Transplant, Louis Vuitton's Banned Ads

While celebrating the new Louis Vuitton store in London, Marc Jacobs admits to having had a recent hair transplant.

While celebrating the new Louis Vuitton store in London, Marc Jacobs admits to having had a recent hair transplant.

Speaking of Louis Vuitton, the British Advertising Authority has banned two of the brand's advertisements for intimating factory-made handbags were actually produced by hand.

Patricia Field offers her point of view on important fashion choices from Sex and the City 2, including Carrie's $50,000 karaoke outfit.

Giles Deacon talks about taking the reigns at Ungaro and the differences between the Parisian house and his namesake collection: "I don’t want any blurring. My own line is more subversive. In Ungaro-land, things are a little more obvious. I like the instantness of those clothes, but the world of challenge for me is getting that other kind of lightness and softness. My own things tend to be a little bit harder."

Marc Jacobs Sings Backup for Donna Summer, Talks Hair Transplant at Louis Vuitton Store Opening

>> Marc Jacobs has taken the stage for many a reason in the past — usually it involves accepting an award — but last night, it was to sing backup to Donna Summer at the opening of Louis Vuitton's new store on Bond Street in London.

>> Marc Jacobs has taken the stage for many a reason in the past — usually it involves accepting an award — but last night, it was to sing backup to Donna Summer at the opening of Louis Vuitton's new store on Bond Street in London. “It was fun — but I think I’ll stick to my day job,” he quipped.

Jacobs celebrated with the likes of Stella Tennant, Bernard Arnault, Carine Roitfeld, and Natalia Vodianova, and opened up about his recent hair transplant, which had him avoiding press and cameras at the Costume Institute Gala earlier this month. "I was starting to thin on top. I can’t dye it for a while, so this is my natural colour.”

He also hinted that the Louis Vuitton logo that he has helped make so ubiquitous almost got squelched way back when he first started at the brand: "When I arrived at Louis Vuitton 12 years ago, and I was figuring out how to create a new tier of Vuitton for a different customer, I thought it would be clever to hide that monogram, which was very stupid of me. That logo is part of what makes the Vuitton so desirable. It allows people to become members of an aspirational club."

Logos are to be expected, but not Louis Vuitton couture — Jacobs says he has no desire to launch such a collection. “Some of what we already do at ready-to-wear is pretty much at couture level, anyway."

The New Hot Hemline

We're thrilled to present our favorite InStyle story here on Fab!

We're thrilled to present our favorite InStyle story here on Fab!

It’s official: The formerly-dowdy tea-length dress is having a chic revival, thanks to Marc Jacobs’ ladylike designs for Louis Vuitton and stylish celebrity fans such as Gemma Arterton, Alexa Chung, and Kirsten Dunst. All three stars chose skirts or dresses that hit their mid-calves, straight from the Fall 2010 Runway, for the launch of the Louis Vuitton Bond Street Maison in London last night, and on them the retro silhouette looked anything but old. They key to keeping this shape looking fresh and youthful rather than frumpy? Highlight a slim waist with a voluminous skirt that shows off dainty ankles . . . and a great pair of killer pumps.
