Monogramouflage is the new line from Louis Vuitton that marks a collaboration between Marc Jacobs and Takashi Murakami…
Never been a fan of the monogram and this is just taking things a bit further into fugville. Considering how obsessed our Bollywood ladies are with LV, wonder how long it’d be before we see one of these on their arms…

Spotted Lara Dutta at the launch of the Louis Vuitton store in Bangalore, carrying her Louis Vuitton Rayures Tote no less!
She seems to wear her prints and color well, what do y’all think?

The Shetty sisters were spotted out shopping, and a lil’ Birkin caught our eye!
Also, while we think the Fendi skinny belt is super cute, way more so than the Fendi Large B Buckle Belt, the way Shilpa is flaunting it is just not fly! It screams, look I have a label on! Seriously, what is with lifting the tee right over the buckle? Poser!
(But it worked, we noticed!)

I don’t know why someone would want to carry a fur trimmed (Gucci) bag in Mumbai (or anywhere else) or someone who otherwise seems so elegant would carry the LV monogram?!?! That totally ruins it for us!!
(Bag choice not withstanding, thats one helluva stunning woman!)
What do you all think of Dimple’s bag collection?

The recent appearance of Ms. Shetty at Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 08 show at Paris Fashion Week got me thinking of her and her Louis Vuitton obsession…
Don’t believe me, just look at the number of times we have seen her with Louis Vuitton bags…
I hate the monogram else I’d definitely be calling this quite an enviable collection…

The apple sure doesn’t fall far from the tree! We’ve spotted Mommy Shetty carry a LV or two herself, so maybe thats where Shilpa gets it from?

Spotted Bhumika Puri at the Mumbai Festival, more specifically, at an exhibition of Indian Contemporary Art, carrying Louis Vuitton’s Salina GM bag.
This bag is smacking new from Louis Vuitton and retails with a hefty price-tag of $2850. Inspired by Marc Jacobs, its splash of red is a welcome change to the dreary monogram!

If you have read this blog long enough, you’d know that nothing puts us off more than excessive monogrammed anything, especially bags! And Louis Vuitton always made that list, because, for some reason, we could never figure out why everyone insisted on carrying the boring brown monogram when there were better bags out there, including some from Louis Vuitton itself!
Imagine our surprise when we saw the Louis Vutton Spring 2008 Ready-To-Wear Collection! Marc Jacobs absolutely went to town with it! Talking of the bags, they were quirky, colorful and so over the top!

Am sure the Vuitton purists considered this, no less than a sacrilege but since we were never too big on the brown monogram, it didn’t take us long to be gushing over the kitschy, oh-so-fun bags! The Ostrich (below, left) is gorgeous and look at the difference those ombré handles make on that white, multi-colored monogram bag (below,right)!!

Hoorah to the retro-psychedelia!! These could easily be our favorites…

And, this, definately a front-runner as far as favorites go! So much so that Chamiya longed to pre-order hers! I predict many a young starlet sporting this arm-candy come Spring next year! It is trendy, summery and all things nice!
The show had a vibe that was new and fresh and we loved its irreverent nod to the monogrammed bags! Call it creative genius or commercial hara-kiri, but from us, it gets a big thumbs-up!
