Where’s Antoine?

Last night, while most of you were watching the latest episode of Weeds or whatever else non-fashion people do on a Monday, I was desperately updating my Twitter feed for the latest from the CFDA’s. @rzrachelzoe shared her style picts (she wore Louis Vuitton), @ideeli went gaga over Meryl Streep’s daughter, and @cutblog shared backstage gems including Kirsten Dunst’s mock acceptance speech for Rodarte.
Of course, the only Twittebrity I actually cared about was that of Antoine Arnault, Head of Communications for Louis Vuitton. He was set to give us updates via @LouisVuitton_US. I was glued to my Twit feed, prepared to live vicariously via one of my favorite LVMH’ers, but alas technical difficulties kept him at bay. Reception on his cell phone was horrible and he was only available at the end of the event to give us this little twit, “So proud to present Marc with the #CFDA international award… an incredible honor for his 12 years at LV”.
Hopefully, Louis Vuitton will give us another peek into their luxurious world, maybe even giving the cellie over to Marc Jacobs sometime soon (preferably on the set of the next Madonna shoot). Fingers crossed.

RANDOM: Leather and Louis Band-Aids
Kirby Marzec, Managing Editor June 11 at 2:04
Read More:Louis Vuitton, Scott Amron
I am just about ready to launch myself down a flight of stairs so I can dress my wounds with what I believe to be the coolest Band-Aid around! Forget Spongebob and Dora, Scott Amron, an experimental designer, has created a pressed, black leather Band-aid that makes self-inflicted injury almost acceptable. If you’re in the mood for a little designer action, Amron even has Louis Vuitton monogram Band-Aids that can match any of your Louis loot! $18 will score you a pack of 3 Band-Aids, so depending on how much of a klutz you are, re-use might be in order.
Check out Scott Amron’s leather Band-Aids here!
Thanks Refinery 29!
MAG HAG: Gwen Stefani for ELLE, July 2009

Just in time for No Doubt’s comeback tour, Gwen Stefani covers the July 2009 issue of ELLE.
Her Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 outfit doesn’t go so well with the silver text. But I’m sure Gwen got styled wonderfully for her spread, in which she wears looks from Alexander McQueen, Rodarte, and Marc Jacobs.

If you’ve read my bio (or even if you haven’t), you know that I have an undying love for cupcakes, so when I saw these I almost had a heart attack. Lisa Edsaly styled these designer cupcakes, photographed by Therese Aldgard. I’m not sure if they’re too pretty to eat, or would be too delicious to pass up.

The latest Core Values ad campaign has hit the web. This time the folks at Louis Vuitton decided to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the moon landing by having Annie Leibovitz shoot astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell and Sally Ride.
Shot on the high plateaux of the Californian desert the campaign features a beautiful shot of the moon as the three spacemen/women gaze longingly. Louis Vuitton’s Icare travel bag in Monogram canvas also makes an appearance.
Check out www.louisvuittonjourneys.com to get some insight from Annie Leibovitz’s on the campaign and interviews with the astronauts.
FASHION QUOTABLES: Pink

Apparently Pink recently got a little annoyed by Kanye’s affinity for wearing fur. She sat near him at the Stella McCartney show in January, and noted…
“The entire time Kanye was going, ‘They need more fur in this show.’ He just wouldn’t shut up about how much he loved fur. I mean, he’s saying this to me, the PETA guy and Paul McCartney!
“I was just grossed out by him. I’m like, ‘You’re an idiot’. There are so many people who are a waste of skin and he’s up there. I should wear him. Go on, donate yourself Kanye. People can wear your fur.”
Hm. Would you wear some Louis Vuitton logo-embossed Kanye skin? How overpriced would that be?
Can’t wait for Kanye’s official blog response.

Coach’s Love Affair With Ali Micheal

Just like Marc Jacobs’ infatuation with Jessica Stam and Louis Vuitton’s love for Eva Herzigova, Coach has fallen in love with model muse, Ali Micheal, enough to name a bag after her. The Ali bag, which is now available on Coach.com, is a hobo-style purse that ranges from a $150 signature pouch to a $650 large metallic hobo. The bags might not be anything terribly special (maybe this is saying something about Micheal’s personality), but at the end of the day, I’d love to have a purse inspired by me!
Thanks Modelinia Blog!

We first saw them on Madonna at the Met Gala, but the Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 bunny-ears are actually not as interesting looking in person as they are on the runway or in editorials, like in the above from Vogue Russia June 09.

RANDOM COOL: “Canal Street” AF1

Read More:air force one, Chanel, fendi, Louis Vuitton, nike, Prada, Solefood Shop
I’m 99% sure that these shoes are illegal, but how crazy are Solefood Shop’s “Canal Street” Air Force Ones!? The gnarly kicks combine several brand-name logos, from Louis Vuitton and Chanel to Fendi and Prada, making them the most ultimate knockoff find! Hilarious how the typical velcro strap is replaced with a watch band.
Thanks Highsnobette!

LAST NIGHTS PARTY Louis Vuitton’s Fall Preview
Daniel Saynt, Editor-In-Chief May 19 at 10:42
Read More:Amber Rose, Kanye West, Louis Vuitton, Neverland Ranch, New York City
Last night the Fashion Indie crew headed to Louis Vuitton’s NYC showroom to check out their Fall 2009 collection in person. It was amazingly covetable and filled with the kind of goodies any self respecting fashioniasta would sacrifice a first born for. Kirby took the opportunity to try on Madonna’s bunny ears and we chatted the night away with my favorite fashion insider, Heather Vanderberghe, LV’s top marketing honcho.
Aside from giving us the inside scoop on plans for Louis Vuitton’s twitter (expect live tweets from celebs, photos from top events, and a constant flow of celebrities wearing Vuitton), Heather shared her slightly flawed attempt to become bff’s with Kanye’s new squeeze Amber Rose. While speaking to the former lady of the pole at the Met Gala, she claims Amber’s seemed a bit distracted on more “important” things, aka keeping Kanye’s Love Lockeddown. Let’s just say aside from having an amazingly banging body, Ambers a bit of a linguist.
Other things of note were the amazing bloggers who were in attendance. Aron from Pop Culture Post, Wendy from Nitrolicious, Carolyn from The Daily Obsession, and Vlad from Purse Blog. My blogemies Yuli and Lauren from My It Things and Second City Style were also in attendance, which wasn’t very fun. I can’t understand why two people who promote so much hate in the blogosphere get invited to things. Seriously, Yuli’s site gets about as traffic as the asphalt road leading to Neverland Ranch and according to Alexa.com Second City Style is bringing in about 100 readers a month. Combined they aren’t worth the cost of the free Moet that was served. But, let me refocus before it seems like I was drinking hateraid last night, it’s always nice to see familiar faces.
Thanks Louis Vuitton for the wonderful evening, can’t wait for the first preview of the next Madonna spread.

Home Sweet Home: Julia Roitfeld’s NY Fashion Paradise

Imagine waking up in your secluded New York apartment, your Yves Saint Laurent scented skin caressing your crisp, white Egyptian cotton sheets. Before heading to your extensive designer shoe collection to begin the day’s outfit choosing process, you trip on three years worth of French Vogue magazines and curse your mother for fabulously stacking them in the corner. While dressing, you choose the Versace gladiator sandals, a few vintage accessories and your Louis Vuitton blanket, just incase you opt for a brief picnic in Central Park. You are not human. You are Julia Roitfeld, Carine Roitfeld’s very own flesh and blood. Everyone wants to be be you. But nobody can. Instead, they choose to live vicariously through photos of your incredible apartment.
Any chance you offer tours of your closet?

Louis Vuitton, Crushing Dreams One Person At A Time

Read More:Louis Vuitton, Rick Ross, XXL Magazine
Poor Rick Ross is just having a shitty year all ready. I more or less hate rap music, but I did/do like Rick Ross, and well things just haven’t been going his way of late. He has been battling rumors that he is a “fake gangsta” and never actually sold coke (is that a bad thing?), but to top it off Louis Vuitton more or less added injury to insult. Louis Vuitton has come out to the public saying that the sunglasses Ross is wearing on the cover of the latest XXL Magazine cover are 100% fake. Now normally I wouldn’t think much of it, but the quote on the bottom of the cover just tops it all off for me.
