Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2014 sunglasses collection is a combination of striking retro shapes and subtle signatures with lots of dark tortoise and bright colours.

Women will find glamour and femininity in cat’s-eye shapes, an oversize design combining an acetate frame in fuchsia, violet, petrol blue or brown with a distinctive curved corner detail and arms in metal. The Louis Vuitton emblematic 3 layers acetate frame also offers an edgy style that suits oval as much as round faces. This season, models with innovative rotating hinges can be folded completely flat perfect for small clutches.

The men’s collection combines style and comfort with designs that feature flex hinges and ultra-lightweight acetate frames. A modern twist to vintage shapes is given thanks to a graphic play on the historic Damier signature. Beige, navy or eye-popping cyan blue, are the main colours proposed by this dapper men’s collection.

Photographed once again by Peter Lindbergh, and styled by Carine Roitfeld, these shots manifest the actress’ true sensibility and delicate fragility with shades of reminiscences in her expression.

An air of vintage Parisian elegance that suits her perfectly, as she has just finished acting in Suite Française, based on the award-winning novel by Irène Némirovsky and centred on a romance during the early years of the German occupation of France.

Made of the full-grain with light touch Taurillon leather, the Capucines comes in new shades - Cobalt, Bleu Electrique, Rose Azalée and Vert Jade – and in a mini version with a removable long strap for a more casual effect. Contrasted calf leather lining or a python leather handle also bring a fashionable touch to the refined tote.

Slim Aaron’s famous photographs of international jet setters from the 60’s inspired the whole Summer 2014 collection. “Photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places” was Aaron’s statement. From there, fresh summer looks in pastel shades have been designed to suit both the most refined and relaxed tastes.

Above, a selection of the key pieces: a bikini top with 60’ panties in pastel colours to highlight the tan, a cotton silk tunic dress to wear on the beach and a fluid feminine dress for a more city look.

Also, for the first time in a Summer collection, the iconic Epi line is enhanced using a bright colour palette. To finish the silhouette, discover the comfortable flat espadrilles and elegant calf leather wedge sandals.

The four-piece set of exclusive suitcases and bags have been carefully designed to follow the sleek lines of the most progressive sports car: the BMW i8. Each piece calls on Louis Vuitton’s heritage of craftsmanship and innovation, bringing together leading edge design and materials with exacting, careful construction.

Soft, flexible bags and semi-rigid thermoformed cases have been cleverly calibrated, down to the last millimetre. They stack and fit together in an ingenious way in order to allow the driver to carry their most treasured possessions in style and security, without compromising the comfort and elegance of luxury travel.

For this new collaboration with Louis Vuitton André Saraiva used his studio drop cloth as the inspiration for the background of his interpretation of the House’s Monogram shawl. Once he had translated his paint spatters to the luxurious silk and wool wrap, it became a natural habitat for ‘Mr. A’, the artist’s signature character with asymmetrical eyes, who inhabits the walls and art galleries of Paris as well as many other international cities.

Born in 1971, he considered from a very young age that the walls belonged to him. « When I arrived in Paris in 1981, it was obvious to me that the street would become my school, my studio. Graffiti is a way of challenging the domination of the City on individuals, a way to own it ».

André Saraiva lives and works between Paris, New York and Los Angeles and is currently the Creative Director of French magazine L'Officiel Hommes. His artworks are presented in galleries across the world, from Paris to New York, Saint-Tropez, Stockholm, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
