OK… so Tara Reid’s had more than her fair share of “fashion don’t” moments… and no comment on the belly jewels- but, at least, she’s got great taste in LV.  Check Gossip Girls for a bunch more pics…

I’ve always loved the amazing Louis Vuitton Multicolore Marilyn- the super limited, exotic leather trimmed bag.  It’s just such a cool look- and totally makes the multicolore canvas “pop”, IMO.

Louis Vuitton did this style in 33 striking colors- and actually built a trunk to display them.

Tara’s lavendar trim makes this bag a great summer choice.  What do you think?

Well, no Limted Edition items at the Brooklyn Museum @Murakami Louis Vuitton Pop-up Store… but you can get a few items that aren’t yet available everywhere in the US.

1) As I’ve mentioned before, the Limited Edition gold Marilyn

2) The Multicolore Beverly in GM & PM, black and white

3) The Multicolore Eugenie wallet in black and white

They aren’t available in most boutiques yet… and keep your eyes out on eLuxury- they go in and out of Stock.

We’ve been dying to see both the Beverly AND the Eugenie in Multicolore, and it totally doesn’t disappoint IRL! This is a gorgeous bag… the colors pop and it’s an amazing style. You need it! No one else will be carrying one… and take a look:

We’ve got an authentic, brand new white Multicolore Beverly GM AND a coordinating white Multicolore Eugenie on eBay right now. Pick them up now… these pieces are so hot! Be sure to check out our listings for a ton more pictures- inside & out!

We have the Gold White Multicolore Marilyn & a black Multicolore Beverly GM here on our website… don’t miss them!!!

I’d heard rumors. Deadstockdon’s blog is titled,

“LV x KW!!! The Deal is Done… Stay Tuned…”

and it includes the picture above.

I can’t tell whether DSD is Don C’s blog or Kanye’s. Kanye has it on his KanyeUniversecity blogroll. (Great pics on both blogs of the Murakami Brooklyn Ball and Louis Vuitton preview etc. They’re totally worth a look!)

What do you think?
BTW, Kanye… nice LV MC Wapity!

Hmmm, so I (like you) have been dying to know what if any limited edition pieces will be sold at the @Murakami exhibit Louis Vuitton store in Brooklyn. The MOCA LE pieces were a huge hit- so it’s made me super curious.

Emily and Ben (my sister and brother-in-law) are hopefully going to get me some pictures (depending on how sneaky they can be)… but it looks like at least we’re going to be able to pick up Limited Edition Multicolore Marilyn bags- black and white, with gold instead of Vachetta leather trim.  We’re getting conflicting info as to the price, but it looks to be between $1500-$1550.

The Multicolore Marilyn is the bag featured in 33 colors of exotic skins packed and displayed in an amazing matching white Louis Vuitton Multicolore Trunk especially designed to house them- it was at MOCA and will be at the Brooklyn Museum as well.

The New York Times reported about the Louis Vuitton store at @Murakami… talked about having the Monogramouflage canvases for sale, Multicolore items for sale and (this caught my eye):

“Other leather goods designed for the show will be for sale too.”

Murakami also promised, “I will be introducing new characters”- but whether these will be Louis Vuitton items with Murakami characters or just one of the many Murakami items available… I just don’t know.

I love this parting line from the NYT article about the MOCA Louis Vuitton store:

“The Los Angeles show attracted young people who had never been to the museum. “Many of the kids were first-time visitors, who came because they heard about the show through various kinds of cross-branding,” Mr. Schimmel said. “Names like Louis Vuitton, Kanye West and eBay.”

From the Brooklyn Museum of Art press release:

“A selection of Monogram Multicolor bags and small leather goods will be available for sale for the duration of the © MURAKAMI exhibition. Styles for sale include the Alma, Speedy, Ursula, Beverly, Rita, Eugénie, and Alexandra. Just as the MOCA store presented a number of limited-edition Monogram canvasses revisited by Takashi Murakami, the Brooklyn store will also offer a new version of these “Editioned Canvasses,” signed by the artist and sold as exclusive art products. The new version, called Monogramouflage, is an exciting new pattern created by Takashi Murakami for Louis Vuitton, and gives viewers a glimpse of a bright new product line that will be launched at the Brooklyn Museum Louis Vuitton store on June 1 before being sold in selected Louis Vuitton stores worldwide. As the store may generate revenues, part of them will be donated to the Federal Enforcement Homeland Security Foundation.”

Oh, so interesting.  So will the Louis Vuitton multicolore be just standard issue, or limited edition Murakami Brooklyn Museum specials?  We’ll have to see.

There’s a whole bunch of Murakami stuff on the Brooklyn Museum website- available now, but no Louis Vuitton.

Monogramouflage will actually be officially unveiled at Louis Vuitton’s “Brooklyn Ball” launch party on April 3!

Hmmm… so here we go.  You know I always feel kind of bad playing this game- especially when one “player” obviously looks better than the other.  But this one I can do!

So, what do you think?  Who is wearing the Louis Vuitton Multicolore Keepall 45 better?  Unapologetic, amateur sex tape star and semi-celebutante Paris Hilton, or Unapologetic, amateur sex tape star and semi-celebutante Kim Kardashian?

I’m definitely more into Keeping up with Kim on this one.  Her Juicy track suit looks great with her skin-tone AND all the pinks in the multicolore.  That Keepall is striking and the vachetta looks fresh.

Paris looks like she needs an upgrade.  I know it’s a dark picture, but the leather on her bag  looks like it’s been around the block a couple of times.  (Which I guess makes sense, for Paris’ luggage.)   We’d love to help her out!

We have an authentic, pre-owned white multicolore Louis Vuitton Keepall 45 (the only size Keepall available for the Multicolore line) on eBay right now!  It’s a gorgeous bag with a ton of pinks and purples right up front where we like them!

Of course, Paris could pick up a new Keepall down the street, at the Rodeo Louis Vuitton for $2000 (well, I guess till yesterday when they unveiled their latest price increase).  Unfortunately, it’s sold out on Eluxury right now.

It’s good to be Julia Roberts’ niece!

Emma Roberts has a new movie coming out called Wild Child about a rebellious Malibu princess who gets shipped off to a strict English boarding school by her father. It’s set for release on March 21, 2008.

That picture above is a little shot from the movie…  I personally am loving the white Jackie O’s with the Takashi Murakami, Louis Vuitton White Multicolore Speedy! You can get that same bag at Eluxury for $2000, or a very slightly worn authentic pre-own LV white multi speedy from us for much, much less on eBay!

So go ahead- wear what Emma’s wearing- but get it at a real deal with Fashionphile: Louis Vuitton White Multicolore Speedy

Well it looks like Louis Vuitton settled it’s case against Burlington Coat Factory, and a small handful of handbag suppliers.

Here are the bags in question:

Louis Vuitton took issue with these bags, asserting that they infringed on their intellectual properties.  Vuitton was particularly interested in the obvious copy of it’s famous Takashi Murakami Multicolore Monogram and the historical S-Lock closure.

I can’t tell the actual terms of the settlement from the Press Release other than to say that Burlington et. al is prohibited from:

manufacturing, importing, exporting, promoting, advertising, marketing, distributing, displaying, selling or offering to sell

… any infringing item, and is enjoined from:

reproducing, copying, infringing or counterfeiting Louis Vuitton intellectual properties in connection with manufacturing, promoting, advertising, distributing, displaying, selling or offering to sell any unauthorized goods or services

I love the closing remarks from Nathalie Moulle-Berteaux, Intellectual Property Director of LVMH Fashion Group (representative of both Louis Vuitton and MJ):

 This case was a particularly important one in that it involved some of our most famous trademarks — the Multicolore Monogram and the S-Lock closure — and the products in question included both exact copies and infringing ‘look-alike’ bags. We will continue our relentless fight to protect our brands throughout the world, by vigorously pursuing those who engage in any and all forms of infringing or counterfeiting activity.

No, it’s not a newly released Louis Vuitton Multicolore piece… it’s the Matsuya Department Store in the fabulous Ginza shopping district!

I love it! Matsuya has been given an Extreme Makeover! It now bears the vibrant hued fleurs, quatrefoils and famous LV logo of a Takashi Murakami for Louis Vuitton Multicolore Hard Case. Note the “brass” corners, and “S-lock” closure! It’s all lit up, and apparently- it changes colors every half hour!
