Louis Vuitton Inaugurates Madonna stars in the new Louis Vuitton Advertising Campaign Spring/Summer 2009 Following his acclaimed Spring/Summer 2009 ready-to-wear show for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs knew exactly who he wanted to embody the spirit of the season: Madonna should be the face of Louis Vuitton's Spring/Summer fashion campaign. The iconic pop star was photographed by her long-time creative collaborator Steven Meisel, the first time the influential fashion photographer has shot a campaign for Louis Vuitton. The chemistry between the two is evident as – in a sepia-toned setting reminiscent of a Paris café in the Forties, with its zinc bar, bentwood chairs and air thick with smoke – Madonna transforms into Marc Jacobs' vision of the quintessential Parisienne, striking provocative poses in the season's sexy short skirts, ethnic-inspired sandals and animal-print bangles. "I wanted the campaign to be very bold, very sensual and very atmospheric. To carry off all these references and all this sophistication, we needed the ultimate performer – and for me, that is Madonna " says Marc Jacobs. Antoine Arnault, Head of Communications for Louis Vuitton, comments: "We are delighted to have Madonna as the star of our new fashion campaign. These are absolutely stunning shots whose rich imagery truly recaptures the magic of what was an unforgettable fashion show." The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2009 advertising campaign will break in the February 2009 issues of magazines worldwide. The first visuals show Madonna with the collection's emblematic slouchy bags in Monogram canvas and Monogram-embossed leather.

Message from the Chairman F O C U S ON LIFE 2020 Twenty-five years ago, the first Earth Summit was held in Rio. Issues concerning ecology did not then arouse a great deal of interest in society, but our Group maintained a longstanding conviction that future development would necessarily be sustainable. That was back in 1992. We opted for a unique approach: a real Environment Department directly responsible to General Management. We thereby consecrated our commitment and assigned a mission to this new Department: to fix, at Group level, ambitious environmental targets and to support our Maisons in attaining these objectives. As the world leader in luxury, it is the duty of LVMH to be exem- plary. Our Maisons make use of rare and precious natural raw materials in the formulation of their products. We have no option other than to seek to preserve these resources which constitute our common heritage.

  • Louis Vuitton Malletier S.A
    Louis Vuitton Malletier S.A. v. Haute Diggity Dog, LLC United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit 507 F.3d 252 (4th Cir. 2007) NIEMEYER, Circuit Judge: Louis Vuitton Malletier S.A., a French corporation located in Paris, that manufactures luxury luggage, handbags, and accessories, commenced this action against Haute Diggity Dog, LLC, a Nevada corporation that manufactures and sells pet products nationally, alleging trademark infringement under 15 U.S.C. § 1114(1)(a), trademark dilution under 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c), copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 501, and related statutory and common law violations. Haute Diggity Dog manufactures, among other things, plush toys on which dogs can chew, which, it claims, parody famous trademarks on luxury products, including those of Louis Vuitton Malletier. The particular Haute Diggity Dog chew toys in question here are small imitations of handbags that are labeled “Chewy Vuiton” and that mimic Louis Vuitton Malletier's LOUIS VUITTON handbags. On cross-motions for summary judgment, the district court concluded that Haute Diggity Dog's “Chewy Vuiton” dog toys were successful parodies of Louis Vuitton Malletier's trademarks, designs, and products, and on that basis, entered judgment in favor of Haute Diggity Dog on all of Louis Vuitton Malletier's claims. On appeal, we agree with the district court that Haute Diggity Dog's products are not likely to cause confusion with those of Louis Vuitton Malletier and that Louis Vuitton Malletier's copyright was not infringed. On the trademark dilution claim, however, we reject the district court's reasoning but reach the same conclusion through a different analysis.

  • Fendi Tables! Louis Vuitton Shelves! the 12 Most Eye- Catching Pieces at Design Miami
    Fendi Tables! Louis Vuitton Shelves! The 12 Most Eye- Catching Pieces at Design Miami BY ELISE TAYLO R December 4, 2019 Photo: Getty Images Design Miami, the annual Miami Beach fair that brings together avant-garde furniture, lighting, and objets d’art, is always full of works that can’t help but inspire adoration. Famed design houses bring with them edgy collaborations with buzzy artists. Gallerists present works from emerging creators or archival pieces from renowned ones. There are maximalists, and minimalists. Most of all, there are designs dreamt up from inspiring minds that push the boundaries of the industry—and set standards for years to come. 2018 saw Balenciaga printers, Fendi Fountains, and the Kaws x Campana Chair (eventually purchased by one Kylie Jenner). But what caught our eye at 2019? Below, an overview of what stood out and what trends surfaced, with input from features editor Lilah Ramzi. Roberto Lugo’s Stuntin‘ Series (Wexler Gallery) Born in Philadelphia to Puerto Rican parents, Roberto Lugo is a classically trained ceramicist (who studied at the factories of historic Hungarian porcelain house of Herend) but in lieu of Rococo swags or idyllic florals, Lugo handprints his wares with the hip-hop iconography of his youth. Bowls feature emblems borrowed from Air Jordans and dripping bubble letters evocative of graffiti. Most eye- catching is a small human-sized urn painted with the likes of Biggie Smalls. “Historically, anthropology used ceramics to let us know what was happening and cultures past,” he says, “I see my role as an artist but also as an archivist.

Souther: Human v. House: A Combat for Couture Command of Luxury Labels HUMAN V. HOUSE: A COMBAT FOR COUTURE COMMAND OF LUXURY LABELS Carly Elizabeth Souther* ABSTRACT As an industry that thrives on-rather than succumbs to- adversity, the couture corporate world demands innovation and encourages risks. When combined with successful marketing and savvy business practices, these risks can result in large payoffs, which exist, primarily, due to the nature of the global fashion market.' Endless consumption drives the market, rewarding fashion houses that cater to current trends with top-line growth and damning those whom fail to suffer decreased net earnings. In order to remain a viable player in the fashion industry, the house must have the resources to market and manufacture the product in a timely manner, as well as incur the costs if a collection is poorly received.
