Shot in New york the louis vuitton spring summer 2011 compaign captures the decadent glamour of the spring summer 2011 fashion shows and stars two of the models who walked in it – Freja Beha Erichsen and Kristen McMenamy.
“We started from the very beginning this season talking about glamour and something very stylized, very glossy,” says Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Marc Jacobs of the process that led to the Spring/Summer 2011 advertising campaign, shot once again by Steven Meisel. “We arrived at something which I would compare to the Eiffel Tower lighting up every hour on the hour – something of artifice that is just so gorgeous, and glamorous, and beautiful, that you are completely mesmerized by it.” Pietro Beccari, Executive vice president of Louis Vuitton, comments: “Once again, Marc Jacobs and Steven Meisel have created a remarkable campaign. What is extraordinary about these new visuals is their vivid rendering of the gloss, glitter and glamour of the fashion show. Its visual impact will be second to none this season.”
The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2011 advertising campaign will break in the February 2011 issues of magazines worldwide. Check out the full campaign below.
