Louis Vuitton Resort 2012

I WANT IT ALL!!  TRULY BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION.

Sofia Coppola has collaborated with Louis Vuitton on a capsule collection of shoes and bags in the past, but for the brand’s Resort 2012 collection, her sphere of influence was taken a bit further. Coppola chose the venue for the presentation — the Pool Room of the Four Seasons Hotel in New York — and served as”official muse” for the collection — which was based on her personal style — consulting on all areas of design.

“Oh my God, for me it’s really fun,” Coppola said. “I’m happy to give my opinion of, I wish I could have this or that.” The collection’s Eiffel Tower print, for instance, is a nod to her current hometown of Paris. “I told [Vuitton design director Julie De Libran] I want a new wardrobe,” Coppola added — and thus, the collection is based on her favorite shapes, including a denim tunic dress.
