Handbags Meet Bangles at the Louis Vuitton Paris Show

Wednesday October 8, 2008
louis vuittonMarc Jacobs, Artistic Director at Louis Vuitton, helped close out Paris Fashion Week with a fashion show on Sunday, where models carrying colorful bags on arms stacked with lush bangles were a catwalk highlight. Bold tassels, many made from feathers, were used on most bags as either zipper pulls or at the ends of bead-strung chunky cords. Bangle materials varied (wood, resin, metal, glass) but they all worked with the bags and most were either multicolored (earthtones to bright) or highly textured.

Sofia Coppola was seated in the front row. Rumor is that she'll design a line of bags for Louis Vuitton. She and dad Francis Ford Coppola are part of Vuitton's most recent advertising campaign, where they're shown in pics shot by photographer Annie Leibovitz. Sophia and Marc Jacobs are long-time friends.
