Summer getaways are usually filled with sun and happy moments spent on an exotic island. And when fun and vacation meet fashion and style, a new collection is born. 'Ailleurs', French for 'somewhere else', is the latest Louis Vuitton collection for summer 2011, a colorful line of accessories appropriate for a tropical, fun, relaxed and funky vacation.
After a gray, gloomy winter, we all long for the warm weather to
come. Summertime is all about joyful moments spent with family and
friends on a faraway beach where you can relax and drown out your
worries on a beach lounger. Meanwhile, since spring is just around
the corner, Louis Vuitton created a special collection for the
upcoming season, already inducing the idea of exotic vacations
through vibrant accessories, sexy swimsuits and breezy dresses.
Called 'Ailleurs', French for 'somewhere else', the latest Louis
Vuitton collection is made in collaboration with British artist
Pippa Cunningham, who has also designed the Louis Vuitton Cruise
Collection 2008 St. Tropez Galliera. Every image was painted by
Pippa, while the watercolor effect was given by a silkscreen -
printing process optimized by the legendary French label.
The Louis Vuitton Ailleurs summer 2011 collection features fancy
accessories that perfectly mix the
glamorous style specific to the French Riviera with an adventurous
one, taking us on a special journey in the tropical forests. The
main items in this line are canvas tote bags available in city and
beach sizes which come in three prints, 'Promenade', 'Escale' and
'Aventure'.
Côte d'Azur... Indeed, the best destination where you can enjoy
a memorable and chic vacation with the wind in your hair. And the
'Promenade' print in the Louis Vuitton collection highly reflects
the glamour vibe of the French Riviera, where relaxing strolls are
made in the shade of tall palm trees. On the other hand, 'Escale'
reminds us of tropical vacations with bright, white sand, emerald,
light blue sea, a refreshing cocktail and colorful beach umbrellas.
The last but not least of the Louis Vuitton 'Ailleurs' prints is
'Aventure', an exotic depiction of a tropical forest.
The totes come with adjustable handles in grained calf leather,
golden metal elements and the already iconic Louis Vuitton
Inventeur plaque. There are two sizes available, a larger one for
the beach and a smaller one for the city. You can also find the
'Promenade' and 'Escale' prints on beach towels, scarves and
adorable bag charms.
Even though a summer-appropriate outfit makes you think mostly
to comfortable flat shoes, you can still add a chic flair
to your laid-back vacation look with a pair of chunky cork
platforms such as the ones in the 'Ailleurs' collection.
These beautiful, stylish sandals can be found in a palette of green
or blue. You can style them up with a strapless dress in cotton and
silk which can also be seen in the Louis Vuitton summer 2011 line.
Besides this dress, sexy two-piece swimsuits and sequin-embroidered
T-shirts are included in this summerish collection that will be
available starting April 15th 2011.
