My 2011 Fashion Inspiration
The Louis Vuitton Cruise 2011 Collection
Fashion Inspiration For The New Year…
The 2011 Cruise collection from Louis Vuitton has had me dreaming of a summer road trip across America. Photographed by Mark Segal, Anne Vyalitsyna stars in the campaign full of divine clothes, amazing accessories and picturesque locations.
With a carefree 60’s feel, the collection consists of; gorgeous shift and A-line dresses, high-waisted trousers and to-die-for jackets, take the spotlight. Modern sophistication, feminine silhouettes and subtle patterns create super chic lady-like looks. The fresh colour palette and accessories (from chunky statement jewellery to big white sunglasses) are perfectly styled for this fun yet undeniably chic road trip.
This Louis Vuitton Cruise Collection is my fashion inspiration for 2011. The effortless glamour, elegance and lady-like seduction make it perfect for my fashion aesthetic! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
Will you be redefining your style for 2011? xx
