Fab Flash: Sofia Coppola, From Director to Designer
Most of you loved Sofia Coppola's recent ad campaign for Louis Vuitton but how do feel about her designing for the luxury brand? Rumor has it that the award-winning director will design a collection of handbags and shoes for Louis Vuitton.
Coppola, seen left with one of her designs, has played muse to Marc Jacobs so it makes sense for the two to take their friendship to the next level.
FABTV: The Chemical Brothers, "Elektrobank"
In this Spike Jonze directed vid, Fab favorite Sofia Coppola plays Janet, an injured gymnast. With all the Olympics hoopla, this was the perfect FABTV for right now. Sofia looks every bit the part: feathered bangs, scrunchied pony, toned bod (but maybe too skinny, have you seen today's gymnasts?).Fab Ad: Louis Vuitton Core Values Campaign Featuring Francis and Sofia Coppola
The newest addition to Louis Vuitton's core values campaign features prestigious filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola and his daughter Sofia sitting in the countryside of Buenos Aires. Shot by Annie Leibovitz, the ad, which is the fifth in its series of exceptional people, depicts Francis sitting with script in hand, taking on an engaging conversation with his beautiful daughter. Amongst all the picturesque scenery, a Louis Vuitton bag is nonchalantly thrown into the mix.
On Our Radar: Sofia and Francis Ford Coppola for Louis Vuitton
The newest additions to the Louis Vuitton Core Values Campaign, which has featured the likes of Keith Richards, Steffi Graf, and Andre Agassi so far, are Sofia and Francis Ford Coppola.
The father-daughter directing duo recently posed for Annie Leibovitz in Argentina as part of the brand's mission to underscore its historical roots in luggage and travel. I can't wait to see what the finished product looks like; I haven't seen Fabcon Sofia model in a while!
