louis-vuitton-fall-2010-ad-campaign-03

Check out Louis Vuitton’s latest Fall/Winter 2010-11 ad campaign.  Featuring supermodels, Christy Turlington, Karen Elson and Natalia Vodianova, the campaign was shot in a New York studio by Steven Meisel. Meisel images captures the essence of feminine spirit of the runway show.

“The strength of Louis Vuitton is its almost magical ability to reinvent itself every season,” says Artistic Director Marc Jacobs. “Last season was all about the idea of the New Age traveler. This season was a manifesto for beautiful, ladylike clothes. Two different collections, two different campaigns, but one Louis Vuitton.”

Per the press release, soft sepia tones and a set resembling a movie star’s dressing room conjure an ambiance that combines intimacy with cinematic glamour as the models pose in the season’s sweet bustiers, Fifties knits and sweeping skirts, surrounded by stacks of shoe boxes from which peep the collection’s charmingly retro bow-fronted pumps. In keeping with the ladylike mood, the spotlight also falls on Louis Vuitton’s dazzling reinterpretations of its iconic Speedy handbag, in alligator, waxed calf leather, or flocked and sequined Monogram canvas.”

Fascinated by Warhol, John Wilcock, co-founder of Village Voice and Interview started interviewing some of  Andy Warhol’s closest associates, supporters and superstars creating an oral biography of the late pop art icon.  The book is what’s said to be a collection of prismatic portraits of one of modern art’s least knowable artists during the early years of Warhol’s fame.

“The Autobiography and Sex Life is the first oral biography of the artist and likely the most revealing portrait of Warhol, being composite instead of singular; each of its interviewees offers a piece of the puzzle that was Andy Warhol.”
