Canadian Director Xavier Dolan has been once again awarded this year, at the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival, with The Grand Prix for his movie 'It's only the end of the world'. Indeed in 2014, he had won the Jury Prize for the movie 'Mommy'.

During the Closing Ceremony, he gave a particularly emotional speech ending it with a famous quote by Anatole France: "I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom".

Red carpets, photocalls and celebrations... Louis Vuitton dressed numerous stars during the 2016 festival.

Among them: Xavier Dolan, Léa Seydoux, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Julianne Moore, Karlie Kloss, Jessie Eisenberg, Caitriona Balfe, Riley Keough, Sasha Lane and Jing Boran.

There is a word to describe the moment nature stirs from its winter sleep, the fragile and fleeting moment evoking the irresistible rebirth of beauty, the moment when a flower opens to greet the pale light of spring and herald the fertility of the fruit trees. That word is "blossom". Colour Blossom is now the name of a new Louis Vuitton jewellery collection inspired by the flowers on Monogram canvas.

Color Blossom celebrates the Monogram flowers, created in 1896 by Georges-Louis Vuitton. Set into yellow or pink gold, the flower blooms into a carved tiger eye or white mother-of-pearl. Months of work were necessary to perfect the stone’s subtle curves and sparkle. The dazzling array of jewel creations is an invitation to create your own personal harmony.

Ten years ago, Louis Vuitton launched the Monte-Carlo loafer which became an essential piece of every stylish gentlemen's dressing.

To celebrate this special anniversary, a made-to-order service is now available in an exclusive network of 81 stores worldwide to personalise the Monte-Carlo shoe in a luxurious caiman leather. With 13 tones offered, it is possible to choose between 3 different LV buckles to match with a belt for example, 3 widths for comfort, and initials stamped inside.

In the UK, this service is available at our New Bond Street Maison, Selfridges and Harrods.
