VA VA VOOM VUITTON

It’s always such a party when the new Louis Vuitton campaign is about to be released. We saw Michael Baryshnikov (Alexandr Petrovsky in Sex and the City) and Catherine Deneuve on steaming stations, surrounded by dozens of Louis Vuitton suitcases. Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin let an air balloon fly above the Tuileries in Paris, and it’s now Peter Lindberg’s turn to photograph Edie Campbell and Karen Ellson. In between cheetahs. Now Edie’s used to a lot. She walked with semi bare bottoms in the latest show of Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton (okay, still covered here and there by Stephne Sprouse inspired quotes) so she knows how to go about a challenge. “I was a bit drunk when I got asked for that show so I said yes quite quickly. If I’d been sober I’d probably thought much longer and better about it.” Edie is a lot more covered up in the campaign and oh la la she looks so pretty. Some giraffes in the background and a couple of cheetahs. But they were so sweet. Though, as long as they had pieces of meat to keep them occupied.
