Decorate with Louis Vuitton Trunks: Tommy Hilfiger Does it Again

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008

Tommy Hilfiger Louis Vuitton trunks

I just got off a really cool call- and it made me think of some new pictures I'd seen in FCH Magazine of the decorating that Tommy Hilfiger's done with vintage Louis Vuitton trunks.  I blogged a while back about his fabulous library- and the amazing juxtaposition of his vintage French trunk by his American as apple pie Warhol "Uncle Sam" painting.  Just love it!!!

But I can't get enough of the living room shot above!  I mean- I love the African thing going on (poor little Zebra) together with the original American, "Geronimo" (again by Warhol) and the totally French Iconic Louis Vuitton monogram trunk.  AMAZING!!!

And... if you read my blog- you know I LOVE a little customization in the paint department on these things.    So, I'm digging the trunk below.  The red and black paint really pops and just gives it that even more unique touch.

If you're wanting Brandy's killer matching boots to complete the look- you're gonna have to drop by your local Louis Vuitton- they only have the high heeled Louis Vuitton Jodie Monogram Mini Lin boots on Eluxury.  (I love the fact that Brandy's rocking this get-up while shopping at Gucci!)

Map to Fashionphile

We're only about 1.3 miles up the road from our old office- so you'd think it would be a breeze of a move! But, whew!!!

The last few weeks in December are typically some of our slowest, so we used the time to move up the road.  We're totally excited- as it's a much bigger place, in a really fun location!  We're on the corner of Rodeo Drive and Wilshire- right behind the Rodeo Louis Vuitton.

But, come on over!  We're still moving in, so pardon our dust- but come drop off some bags and check out all of the fabulous stuff in our "Showroom".  (You can see all of the incredible bags we've got online at www.fashionphile.com and on eBay displayed here "in real life"!)  (Be sure to check the website for our new address, phone numbers, etc.)

Obviously, some of the most amazing shopping destinations in the world are right next door- so be sure to have a few hours to blow, even just for window shopping and people watching!  Be sure to check out the Rodeo Drive Louis Vuitton Boutique, browse the ice at Tiffany & Company and drop by the Grill for lunch.  Then, call it a day!

There's free valet parking for two hours right across the street at the Via Rodeo Shopping Center.  It's such a cute little area, you're gonna love it.  There's also street parking on Dayton Way- and some on Rodeo if you can get it!

We'll get pictures of the place up as soon as we are done arranging things.  Hope you like it :)

Zzzzzzzzz, snoozefest

Louis Vuitton Bullet Appropriation

What is it with "artists" using the Louis Vuitton monogram in weapons and ammunition?

Apparently, this was part of the communications campaign kit by design firm 21:19 for Bita Haidarian's autobiographical film, "Finding Bibi".  I'm just done with the whole, use the iconic Louis Vuitton logo on a bullet or gun to make a political statement.  It's been done OVER and OVER.

Did you see this?

Louis Vuitton Christmas Tree

I'm so loving the creations for this year's "Les Sapins de Noël des Créateurs" charity auction in Paris.   Forty-four amazing Christmas trees were auctioned off for €101,000 towards building a house in Togo for children orphaned by AIDS.  The Louis Vuitton and Gucci are my favs... but the Chanel tree was pretty cool too.

Check them out!

Louis Vuitton Poker Set

The Huffington Post's attributing Louis Vuitton's custom Damier Poker Set to "Embracing a Popular Recession Era Pastime". (Everything pointing to the down economy- even multi-thousand dollar game boards.)

I have no idea if that's what it's about- and I'm no gambler (have never played poker in my life).  But this case is making me pine for a 'lil 'round the Christmas Tree family game of Texas Hold 'em!

Ginzo Louis Vuitton(Multicolore Matsuya Department Store Ginza Shopping District)

Louis Vuitton had been weathering the whole economic downturn so well... even recording profits this October when everyone else was seeing major losses.

After seeing numbers go down in Japan, LV's scraping the ten story Ginza Flagship Boutique that was scheduled to be completed by 2010.

Story from IHT.

Have you checked out the new site?

Agyness Deyn Mini Graffiti

I did... and it's not up yet- but welovesprouse.com is supposed to go live today.

Nitrolicious just posted some new shots of the revisited Graffiti line- including the one of Agyness Deyn above.  The mini graffiti covers a lot more of the Monogram than the old school Graffiti did.  Can't wait to see it IRL!
