LVMH Stands Up For Luxury

February 6, 2009  12:47 pm

That Stephen Sprouse graffiti bag from Louis Vuitton? Cute and a good investment. LVMH made news by making money this quarter by sticking to a successful formula: Sell luxury goods at luxury prices. So you can stop waiting for that sale. [WWD ]

Hermès (the other brand boasting a profit ) shook things up in house, appointing Pierre-Alexis Dumas as the house’s sole artistic director. His cousin, Pascale Mussard, who shared the role, is now in charge of “limited edition objects in unusual or recycled materials.” Sustainable Birkins? Oui, s’il vous plait. [WWD ]

LOVE loves Aggy and Iggy, almost as much as Scotch eggs.

In the last Depression, panties were the first things to go from women’s wardrobes (expendable!), but Natalia Vodianova’s lingerie and swimwear line for Etam (the model’s first) is priced to buy. English aristocrat husband not included. [WWD ]

1. I wouldn’t wear these shoe’s. They are for someone with lots of cool colors and you could probably wear these with almost everything considering the fact they have every color on them.

2. I imagine there will be a more toned-down version of these available, as they do have an awful lot going on. Still, no one can say LV hasn’t found a winning formula in creating “it” shoes and bags with unapologetic price tags and lots of exposure.
