Fab Ad: Madonna For Louis Vuitton Fall '09
One thing is for sure: Madonna and Marc Jacobs can't get enough of those bunny ears. Louis Vuitton's Fall '09 campaign, shot by Steven Meisel in NYC, captures (an overly) Photoshopped image of the the pop star wearing an outfit similar to the one she proudly paraded to the Met Gala complete with '80s-inspired mesh fingerless gloves and an oversized LV monogrammed bag. Madonna's mannequin-like pose and blemish-free face are too unrealistic for my taste but might appeal to some Material Girl aficionados.

Louis Vuitton Tweets — Will You Follow?
You know it's the place to be when fashion heavyweights are signing up. Louis Vuitton just announced a couple things, joining online message board Twitter being one of them. This is LV's first attempt at social media.
Fab Read: Louis Vuitton, Art, Fashion and Architecture
Luxury and art are partners in crime — no house understands that better than Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture ($54), published by Rizzoli and authored by the peeps at Louis Vuitton, spotlights the collaborations between Vuitton and elite artists, architects, designers, and photographers such as Zaha Hadid, David LaChapelle, Annie Leibovitz, Richard Prince, and Stephen Sprouse. It features over 400 illustrations, special papers, and an embossed Takashi Murakami logo cover.
Trend Alert: Graffiti Rock
Fun Fab fact: I wrote my high school senior paper on graffiti art. I was obsessed with taggers, break dancers, Beat Street, Style Wars — everything old school. I still find the roots of the hip-hop underworld to be fascinating, even if I don't dress like a boy anymore.
The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Leighton Meester
Gossip Girl Leighton Meester bravely walked the red carpet wearing a psychedelic paisley print avant-garde confection by Louis Vuitton. The dress and matching tights are a little over the top for my liking, but props to Meester for trying new things. Satin Louis Vuitton ankle wrap pumps (Victoria Beckham wore a similar pair ), jeweled bangles, and cherry-red lips top her doll-like ensemble.
The Met's Costume Institute Gala: Madonna
Madonna is never one to shy away from extreme fashion, and tonight she sealed the deal. The singer stepped onto the red carpet in a Louis Vuitton outfit that isn't so off-kilter — until you look on top of her head. That's the biggest scrunchie I've ever seen!
Celebrity Style: Ciara
R&B songstress Ciara showed up at BBC Radio One in London looking ferocious in skinny gray jeans, barely pink pocket tank, and slick, white blazer. Notice how the crinkly texture is unfussy while exotic Louis Vuitton sandals and sleek sunnies reveal her inner diva. What a cool juxtaposition — I like to call it fashion yin yang.
Celebrity Style: Beyonce Knowles
Beyonce and her hubby Jay-Z strolled NYC together, both looking street sharp. Beyonce wore a casual embellished plaid dress but spiced it up with Louis Vuitton's Spring platforms, a red knit beret, and an eye-catching gold Dannijo Ruth Celia necklace ($690). A tan bag with gold studs upped her bling factor.
Fab Flash: Louis Vuitton Donates to Earth Day
Luxury brand Louis Vuitton is showing off its green side on Earth Day by donating 15 percent of all US online sales to The Climate Project. "Over the past few years Louis Vuitton has voluntarily made efforts to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. In addition we are proud to be able to support The Climate Project in its inspiring quest to raise awareness of the climate crisis," said President of Louis Vuitton North America, Daniel Lalonde.
