Alicia Vikander, Emma Stone, Lèa Seydoux Front Louis Vuitton 'New Classics' Handbags Campaign
In the three-year period from 2016-2018, fashion and leather goods moved from being 34% to 39% of LVMH Group worldwide sales, with shrinking sectors of ‘selective retailing and other activities’ and ‘wine and spirits’, writes Statista.
The Louis Vuitton brand is a key driver in that handbag and leathergoods realignment of LVMH revenues, making it a perfect moment for its ‘New Classics’ campaign, featuring three coveted pieces — the Capucines, the Twist and the Dauphine’.
Louis Vuitton taps three of its brand ambassadors Emma Stone, Alicia Vikander and Lèa Seydoux for the campaign. Captured by Craig McDean, the new campaign sets the ‘New Classics’ against the backdrop of a blank background – almost acting as a canvas for the female personalities.

EYE: Animal Lovers Are On The Prowl at Catogram From Louis Vuitton x Grace Coddington
All of Manhattan is on the prowl with the launch of the Louis Vuitton cat-themed collab and pop-up store with famed Vogue fashion editor Grace Coddington. Vuitton fans, muses and cat lovers including Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams and Sienna Miller popped into the orange carpet, opening-night celebration of the capsule collection dubbed Catogram.
Coddington’s whimsical illustrations of her Persian cats, Pumpkin and Blanket, made nice with Vuitton creative director Nicolas Ghesquière’s dog, Léon. The 3 Ninth Avenue space also hosted a few scampering mice on clothing, shoes and leather goods, including silk pajama sets and LV’s iconic Speedy and Petite Malle handbags.

Writing for the New York Times , fashion director and chief fashion critic Vanessa Friedman posts this headline: Vanity Fair's September Cover Sells Something. And Not Only What It Says: Michelle Williams, Louis Vuitton and the aesthetics of brand synergy.
For starters, writes Friedman, the imagery of a makeup free, minimal and unadorned Williams is confrontational in its own way, reflecting the aesthetic of Vanity Fair's new editor Radhika Jones. The cover is a pivot away from Vanity Fair's prior days "kind of arch celebrity-meets-intellect fantasy."

Eye: Nicholas Ghesquiere Honors Vintage Artistry, Coddington Cats & Leon For Resort 2019
When Nicolas Ghesquière renewed his Louis Vuitton contract at the end of May, his Instagram hashtag #notgoinganywhere made headlines. In a fashion industry spinning almost as fast and potentially out of control as a Donald Trump foreign policy speech, Ghesquière’s decision to remain at LVMH brought a stability-loving sigh pf relief.
The designer brought his vintage style vintage factor to his 2019 resort collection. Ghesquière said he wanted to pay homage to eccentricity. “What is it today to be an original, [someone] who has her own way of dressing? This bricolage . . . you can start a real movement. I love those people who are eccentric.”

I'm not sure if actor, activist and new Louis Vuitton muse Emma Stone's first Spirit of Travel Campaign 2018 is the most anemic campaign ever, but it's a tough rival for the honor. Set in the California desert, we see "a spectacular landscape that blends raw space and travel". Okay, if you say so.
"I am very happy and proud to be working with a House as passionate as Louis Vuitton, as well as with the unique style and creations of Nicolas Ghesquière” says Emma Stone.
Stone's first Louis Vuitton Spirit of Travel campaign "showcases the actress wearing pieces from the Prefall 2018 collection and embodying a heroine who is daring, confident and always on the move. " Okay, if you say so.
This Travel campaign highlights the Capucines bags: a signature of discreet elegance, Capucines represents the spirit of the House and its expertise in leather craftwork. Note that this out-of-gas campaign is not the fault of Emma Stone. Rather, photographer Craig McDean and Nicolas Ghesquière bear responsibility and also upper management at LVMH, who I assume saw it. As for poor Emma Stone, she is frozen in time.
