Louis vuitton have recently gave launch party at the Louis Vuitton store in the Bal Harbor Shops but they were not upto handbags but their new collection of sneakers. Kenya West has teamed up with Louis vuitton to create high end designer sneakers, people in the launch party grabbed their pair as pairs were amazing.
I like the colour combinations given to these sneakers which were bit different from others. Sneakers are comfort stuff and when the brand name Louis Vuitton has been added to it, who will not buy it?.
Here’s a look at the Louis Vuitton Cruise collection for 2010. We already saw a couple of the bags that had that great nautical rope detail, but these bags are from the more classic lines - monogram vernis, damier azur, and epi leather.

Demi Lovato emerges from the makeshift dressing room in a strapless black cocktail dress, her shiny black hair festooned with a pair of Louis Vuitton bunny ears from the fall runway, a look more Playboy Bunny than Mouseketeer. And no sooner does the Disney Channel star flash a smile — she likes it — than the getup is vetoed by the handler from her record label, on set for this WWD shoot. After a bit of protesting, Lovato makes do with a top hat and — ta-da! — Miley crisis averted.
Clearly, tween stardom is a treacherous sport, even for someone like Lovato, a child beauty pageant vet with a professional résumé reaching back to the age of six (when she first appeared alongside the big purple dinosaur on “Barney & Friends” with fellow Disney “It” girl Selena Gomez). On one hand, Lovato is polished-to-shiny, but on the other, she is still a 16-year-old whose concerns about “heartbreak, romance, friendships — the whole shebang,” as the Dallas native puts it, threaten to overshadow those about her image.
Lovato has a pretty full plate these days. First, there is her Disney Channel sitcom, “Sonny With a Chance,” on which she plays the titular Sonny Monroe, a small-town girl who moves to Hollywood upon being cast in a TV show. Then, there’s the nationwide concert tour she’s headlining, and the July 21 release of her second album, “Here We Go Again,” on Disney’s Hollywood Records.
And finally, there are her hit made-for-TV-movies, including last year’s “Camp Rock,” the sequel to which is scheduled to begin filming this fall, and “Princess Protection Program,” costarring Lovato’s real-life BFF Gomez. Last week’s Disney Channel premiere drew 8.5 million viewers.
Not surprisingly, like many teen stars, Lovato has a precocity that belies her years. After “Barney,” she moved on to commercials, did an episode of “Prison Break,” guest-starred on Nickelodeon’s “Just Jordan” (a tango with the enemy she jokingly refers to as “a Nickelodeon thing that we shall never speak of”), and, in 2007, appeared on the Disney Channel series “As The Bell Rings.” It was her first job for the company that now backs all of her acting and musical endeavors.
But unlike such past Disney-ites as Hilary Duff and Lindsay Lohan, Lovato considers herself a musician foremost and actress second. “It’s my first love,” she says of music. “Acting is just kind of a way to pay for the singing.” She pauses, clearly considering this notion, and then adds, “I mean, not anymore. Acting now is like a new challenge, new hobby, a new passion even.”
Professional politics aside, Lovato is most excited when chatting about her new album, which she says is “more relaxed and more mature,” with a more “soulful edge” than her gold-selling pop-rock debut, “Don’t Forget.” This time around, the songs are more personal, inspired by “pretty much just heartbreak.” Take the midtempo “World of Chances,” which she cowrote with John Mayer, in which Lovato sings, “You’ve got a face for a smile, you know/A shame you waste it when you’re breaking me slowly/But I’ve got a world of chances for you…/Chances that you’re burning through.” This isn’t schoolyard stuff. “I had fallen in love and then my heart got broken. I had never fallen in love before, so that was interesting,” she says.
Intriguingly, Lovato, who plays guitar and piano, even penned a track about her estranged father (she was raised from an early age by her mom and stepdad, Eddie De La Garza). It was originally planned for this album; however, Lovato and her advisers chose to hold it and several other more “emotional” songs for the time being. “When I took a step back,” she says, “I realized I wouldn’t like those subjects being talked about in somebody else’s home, with a seven-year-old and their mom.”
Her fashion choices also go through a kind of wringer — she has an acute awareness of her audience and, increasingly, herself. If the bunny ears are any indication, yes, Lovato is growing up and, sometimes at least, “getting to wear and do what I want.” This has meant more flirty dresses and glam skirts, plus strappy heels, hipster sunglasses and hardware-heavy Prada bags. But in gaining her sartorial bearings, she does try to keep her toddler-to-teenage fan base in mind. “Sometimes,” she muses, “when I want to wear a really hot skirt or something, I think, ‘Would you want your little sister to wear that skirt in two years? No.’”
Yet she doesn’t seem overly worried about maintaining a squeaky-clean image. Nor, for that matter, is she concerned with building a Demi Lovato brand, she avers. “The marketing side makes me nauseous,” says the singer, who moved, along with her mom, De La Garza (who is also her co-manager), two sisters and aunt, to Los Angeles last summer. “This is about music; it’s not about marketing.” (Although she concedes that “[marketing] does have a lot to do with it.”)
Indeed, Lovato is a teenager coming into her own on a network that targets from out of the crib; she’s expected to embody youthful exuberance and, at the same time, make well-thought-out decisions on an international stage and adhere to an exhausting schedule, always acting the consummate professional. Which could be why she wouldn’t mind skipping over the whole adolescence thing. “I wish I was older a lot of the time,” says Lovato, who hopes to attend Boston’s Berklee College of Music one day. “Because I feel like an adult and I’m working like an adult, but then I wake up and I’m 16 and it’s weird.”

With so much turmoil in the economy, it might seem an odd time to unveil a Web site dedicated to luxury travel, but backers of Voyage.tv, which made its debut last week, say affluent travelers are still packing their Louis Vuitton bags.
According to promotional materials for Voyage.tv, the market for the site is “affluent urban consumers” who are heavy users of the Internet, especially social networks. The site combines elements of the Travel Channel and louis vuitton outlet users can view broadcast-quality videos of destinations (mostly the Caribbean now, with New York, Tuscany, Bali and other locales in production), as well as buy plane tickets and book hotels.
John Pasmore, the president of Voyages North America, said he expected the site’s revenue to be about equally divided between advertising and bookings. The company reports selling more than $1.8 million in advertising before its debut. Advertisers appear not only in display ads but also in spots at the beginning of videos. Those videos — with accompanying advertising spots — will also be available to 20 million television viewers through video on demand.
According to a recent report by Euromonitor International, a market research firm, worldwide hotel revenue will shrink by 3.6 percent this year and air travel by 2.3 percent, compared with last year. The group predicts that both segments will begin to bounce back in 2010, each growing by about 1 percent.
Mr. Pasmore said that the site had been in the works for more than two years, preceding the downturn, and that he and his partners decided not to wait for rosier economic forecasts to unveil it.
“When we felt the site was ready, we certainly wanted to take the wrapper off,” Mr. Pasmore said. “And we’re glad this June isn’t like last November was, when people thought we were falling off a cliff.”
Still, because even Lamborghini drivers are spending less conspicuously, Mr. Pasmore said the site was tempering the emphasis on luxury, which it will highlight more in the future.
“Affluent consumers are buying, but in a more modest way,” he said. “If we were launching into a boom, we would be adding videos of more five- and six-star unique properties, but at this point, at that super-high end, you aren’t seeing demand, and people are looking for more eco-travel packages and other luis vuitton lower-hanging fruit.”

A maison Louis Vuitton is a deluxe multi-purpose store. It contains luxury products, of leisure , art , and culture, all under one roof, as stipulated in the San Francisco Sentinel, article of June 14th, 2008.
The name maison comes from the french maison bourgeoisie. These were the personalized dwellings of the french bourgeois society of the 19th century. They are named after the nouveaux riches, haute bourgeois that came to ascendance after the french revolution of 1789. This class of people , what we would call middle class, had limited political and economic power during feudalism in france. Their new found wealth, and political prestige were embodied in these maisons. Check out the Gouvieux maison bourgeoisie, in the link, above at € 645,000. Thats about 900,000 US Dollars. It’s a steal. Firesale prices of french haute bourgeois maisons. Incroyable. Recession for some not for others.
The maison at Union Square displays the art piece of Teresita Fernández. The piece Hothouse blue, “is a large 36’ installation made of translucent blue glass overlaid with approximately 16,000 small silvered cabochen mirrors” as noted in a San Francisco Sentinel article, from June 14th, 2008. Paraphrasing again from the Sentinel article..at night the art piece is illuminated, by the shimmering mirrors, creating an everchanging glow, which is noticeable from streetside…. Teresita Fernandez explains it this way…“It’s especially gratifying to see how they’ve embraced my concept of the artwork, which I see as being a very active element of the store’s environment, reflecting the ambience and activities of the space”…Teresita Fernandez in SanFrancisco Sentinel article, Sunday June 14th , 2008.
Kudos to Louis Vuitton Outlet, using their retail commercial space to showcase art, that is not usually presented in this format.
I had a chance to speak with Izabela Miric who is the Accessories Manager at the maison store in Union Square. I asked her about the store, and how business was doing. She informed me, that the store is exclusive, and that the Recession was not having any effect on the stores numbers. In particular, the men’s line is selling very briskly, due to the fact that there isn’t anywhere else a full men’s prêt-a-porter selection of clothes can be found in Northern California.
Exclusivity breeds scarcity, which breeds demand, from people who have the money to spend. This is a good business model, if you can get it. Luis Vuitton has not been in business for over 150 years for nothing. Louis Vuitton’s business model is sustainable. When you have a captive market for product/merchandise that noone else sells, you are in the drivers seat. Recession for some, not for others.
Louis Vuitton Elan Damier canvas sneaker $690 anyone? Recession for some, not for others. I saw a White chemise, with black collar, for $780 on the floor. This is a style I mentioned in my previous article on British Italianate 60’s style.
They sell their uber chic men’s canvas bags. Damier canvas. These are a hot item, with the very chic, LV monogram. Tres fabuleaux.They are the ultimate man bag. Over 1K, but again for some, what recession?
Founded in 1854 , Louis Vuitton is still the leader in luggage and travel wear. Marc Jacobs was hired in 1997, and brought in the women’s and men’s prêt-a-porter, shoes, watches, and jewelry.

Despite the deep recession and the general decline in sales of fine jewelry and luxury goods, fine jeweler Tiffany & Co has stood by its firm “no discount” policy in light of growing attempts by the jeweler’s costumers to bring down the price.
Michael Kowalski, Chief Executive at Tiffany’s, said at “Reuters Global Luxury Summit” last week that more and more consumers who walk into the stores ask about discounts to the fine tiffany jewelry pieces, but re-affirmed the company’s policy: -”the price is the price.”
Tiffany’s firm price policy has been a staple of the fine jeweler for many years and is in place in order to retain higher value and prestige for its brand and keep the company’s position at the top of the tiffany jewelry retail market.
Industry analysts said that lowering prices might slightly increase the company’s turnover, but conversely would hurt the brand in the longer term.

2. Roy P. Drachman Agua Caliente Regional Park
12325 E. Roger Road
Before Agua Caliente was bought by the county in 1984 with financial help from Roy P. Drachman, it served many purposes.
Long ago, the park was a dairy cattle operation. Later, when the land belonged to James P. Fuller, it was a resort touting the healing benefits of the warm waters on the property.
Agua Caliente, which means “hot water,” is home to a natural hot spring that runs into three ponds.
Tiffany & Co and turtles are just some of the wildlife you’ll find in the park.
