Louis Vuitton Lunar Travel Trunk

Saturday, July 11th, 2009

Like a modern, metal Louis Vuitton damier easter egg!

Louis Vuitton came up with this custom job to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the moon on July 20th. It opens up all over the place with little nooks and crannies for basically anything you'd need for that luxurious lunar voyage!!!

Going to be in New York City near Central Park West this week?  Drop by the American Museum of Natural History's Rose Center for Earth and Space on Monday where this little gem will be exhibited with other NASA goodies. The stars of Louis Vuitton's new Journey's spot- Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell and Sally Ride will be there and they're bringing Daniel Lalonde, Louis Vuitton North America president and CEO along for the ride!!!  (Theirs was my FAVORITE of the Journey's spots so far... can't get enough!)

Louis Vuitton Donates 15% of Earth Day Purchases

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Well, 15% off at least all purchases made on their www.louisvuitton.com website on April 22 will be donated to The Climate Project (no mention of Eluxury.com which makes some sense, since LV is phasing off of sales on eLuxury.).  President and CEO of Louis Vuitton North America, Daniel Lalonde said:

"We are thrilled to collaborate with The Climate Project and promote environmental awareness in honor of Earth Day.  Over the past few years Louis Vuitton has voluntarily made efforts to reduce the impact of its activities on the environment. In addition we are proud to be able to support The Climate Project in its inspiring quest to raise awareness of the climate crisis."

Louis Vuitton's been involved with The Climate Project since 2007 when they began donating as part of the Core Values Campaign.  Along with the fab Annie Leibovitz Core Values spots so far, LV has donated in the name of Catherine Deneuve, Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf, Keith Richards, Sofia and Francis Ford Coppola, Sean Connery and coming soon... Buzz Aldrin?

The Buzz: Louis Vuitton Journeys to the Moon!

Monday, March 30th, 2009

Looks like star of the next "Core Values" Louis Vuitton Journey spot has been chosen.  They picked another oldie (but goodie!), Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon!  Annie Leibovitz is doing the shoot, and they are headed out to a desert somewhere in the US for the setting.  Apparently, he's gonna be pictured with astronauts Jim Lovell and Sally Ridge.

Notice the trend here since the Aggassis?  Catherine Deneuve (1943), Gorbachev (1931), Keith Richards (1943), Sean Connery (1930), Francis Ford Coppola (1939)- ok, so Sofia was in the shot too... and she's clealy young since she's just a year older than me :) and finally, the youngster of the bunch, Madonna (1958).
