EXCLUSIVE LOUIS VUITTON CAMPAIGN IMAGES FOR AUTUMN/WINTER 2011
For the upcoming season Marc Jacobs combined forces with acclaimed American photographer Steven Meisel, on a complex photo shoot featuring six “fresh face” models, five vintage cars with drivers and a handful of small pedigree dogs, all gathered into a deserted airfield in Brooklyn. The two creative minds, Jacobs and Meisel, wanted to create a classic look with a modern and sometimes naughty edge, continuing the narrative of the recent Louis Vuitton runway show (see ZOOT report here) as the woman leaves her hotel and sets off on an unexpected journey…
The polished woods, leather upholstery and sleek bodywork of the vintage automobiles echoes the luxury and character of the Louis Vuitton A/W 11 collection. The series of nine campaign images showcase key pieces of the new accessories collection for the season, such as bright rubber boots, sheep skin hats, variations of the iconic Lockit portfolio and the infamous crocodile skin clutch with diamond studded cuff and padlock.
The full Autumn/Winter campaign will be published worldwide from August 2011.
