Once again Louis Vuitton presents its Cup Collection. For 2012 they have extended the offering, presenting goods in ready-to-wear, leather goods, shoes and accessories. Each line, designed to the standards of excellence of the Maison, boasts technical subtleties inspired by the world of sailing: water and salt resistant, ease of movement, finely-worked finishing. The Louis Vuitton Cup signature is perfectly integrated in the product. The wealth of the offer allows everyone to find their ideal product, for a simple journey, occasional sailing or a regatta.
The technical outerwear in the collection looks interesting this season, featuring good colors and nice details. But the sneakers and luggage are out favorite pieces in the line-up. The luggage takes classic elements from the LV brand and adds a younger and sportier appeal to them.
These Louis Vuitton Fastball sneakers from the Spring/Summer 2012 Collection were inspired by the iconic American college letterman sweatshirt and jacket. They’re available in leather upper or jersey fabric and feature an embroidered fabric LV logo crest on the side, rubber Louis Vuitton label on the tongue, a leather toe cap, a leather midsole trim, and a white rubber sole.
Price: $660 USD - $720 USD

There is a long series of suiting that accompanies the pre-Autumn Winter collection from Louis Vuitton. We did not pick up on those looks for this story. Everything else is here, but truthfully, those suits deserve another look at a later date. What we have here is a ready to wear collection tailored for the individual who wants a leg up on the end of the year “chiller” months with the option to prepare for an early frost. While not all the looks work for us, you are the individual who should really be making that choice. Trends aside, fashion is supposed to be personal and Louis Vuitton can help.

This is one of our favorite pieces from the upcoming Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2012 Collection is the above backpack. Mixing both safari, heritage and modern looks, this new large size backpack from the French luxury brand is stylish and functional. We appreciate the tonal application of the monogram, we would have taken it as well without monogram actually. The mix of leathers, canvas and nylon work well on the backpack and make it stand out at the same time.
This Winter, Louis Vuitton has rolled out a refined selection of sturdy and luxe men’s essentials, the perfect companions for the traveling dandy. Imbued with a carefree wanderlust, these pieces are timelessly chic, discreet and masculine.
Choose from House classics wrought from iconic Monogram and Damier embossed canvas, or luscious signature leathers like Nomade, Taiga and Utah – all branded with the famous LV initials, of course.

Louis Vuitton unveils the inner workings of its new 18-karat white gold timepiece, the Tambour Minute Repeater, a collaboration with Swiss master horologists La Fabrique du Temps. True to the brand's renown for handcrafted luxury travel accessories, Louis Vuitton’s Tambour employs complex mechanics to display one time while being able, upon request, to chime an alternative 'home' time. Hamdi Chatti, Louis Vuitton’s Vice President of Watch and Jewelry, explains: “No matter where you are, you always have two times. One of travel—often the one of business—and the one the watch guards for you. It’s romantic to think about ‘home time,’ because you’re always set to your own time and your own emotion.” As watches emerged from the shadow of pockets to perch, appreciated, upon wrists, so too did the beauty of their engineering. Dotted throughout with “infinity”-inspired figure eights, the Tambour’s transparent sapphire face and base reveal miniscule gears set with 34 jewels, including brilliant crimson rubies chosen for their ability to reduce friction on their axis. “Watchmakers used to hide the movements,” says Chatti. “We wanted the mechanism to be part of the beauty of the watch.”Source: Nowness
From looking at these Louis Vuitton Slalom Sneakers, you can tell they were designed with ease and comfort in mind. This is supported by the large back pull tab, the elastic sides, and removable anatomic insock, which make these shoes easier to slip on and off. Also, the leather trim, LV logo tongue and toe cap complement the look nicely.
