Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2008 Ready To Wear Show
Oct 9, 2007 / Posted in Louis Vuitton by Twiggers.
Tuesdays with Twiggers: Little by little my love for Louis Vuitton has been waning. I have been experiencing this irresistible urge for soft, smooshy leather in bold, bright colors. So it was with great anticipation that I eagerly waited for the pictures from the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2008 RTW show to surface, and for Louis Vuitton to lure me back in. I wanted color? Well Marc must have been listening…although I’m thinking he didn’t fully understand what I meant. How do I begin to sum up the show? Maybe one word can do it: confused. The possible inspiration: Spongebob? (See picture below).
The color palette was beautiful and vibrant, full of blues, yellows, watermelon pinks, and so much more. However, Marc Jacobs decided to throw them all on one bag! Bags with 3 or more colors, plus different colored handles, are too much for me to handle (literally and figuratively). An interesting twist on the bags was somewhat psychedelic monogram patterns, as well as turning many of the iconic bags into frame bags with little tags hanging that stated their name (i.e. papillon, speedy, and alma). There are also bags with ‘Louis Vuitton’ spelled out all over the bag (Think last season’s Marc Jacobs bags that did the same). This season is definitely not for the faint-hearted, or for someone looking for a classic piece to carry for years. I am intrigued enough to wonder what bags will actually make it into production.

ahhh….MJ’s so hot as always
I personally find this to be one of Marc’s most exciting handbag collections yet. He has literally flipped Vuitton on its head on this one. His use of color is amazing, someone who definitely doesn’t have chromophobia! I love how he has used the classic lines of the brand and filled it in with all sorts of shades and textures. If I was to spend big money on a bag, it would definitely be one from this collection. Just wait, we’ll be seeing knock-offs and watered down versions of his creations for the three years to come.
haha. sorry but i think the bags look hot. they may not be traditional, but they are spicey and sexy in a way. haha.
Yikes! That one with the yellow top? Did Speedy go on an acid trip?!?
Horrible
speechless
Oh my goodness…did Marc just throw together a bunch of random thoughts into a blender and see what would come out? It sure looks like it! That very last Speedy on the right isn’t bad though.
they just get uglier and uglier and uglier. the only reason the magazine editorials support this guy is because of the mega advertising Louis Vuitton does . Read the book “Deluxe” you will totally not want to buy anything but Hermes or Chanel
I thought I was imagining things when I saw Spongebob picture on the white case that MJ was carrying.
What can I say. The collection is horrible! Although I quite like the vibrant Fuschia bag minus the blue picture print.
They sure look very different for a traditionalist, however I am sure that the sight of these unconventional designs and colors made some adventurous person heart skips some beat. “Different strokes for different folks”
I LVoe LV but I must say that this is hideous!!! It seems like the spring/summer LE bags are always the worst!!!
Last years fall/winter mirroir monogram was awesome and so is this years fall/winter (I LOVE the MOTARD BIKER BAG!!!)
I hate to say this but I kinda like it…it’s funky and different!
I cant believe it…….I would give my right arm for LV but what is this rubbish?? Someones been on a BAAAAAD acid trip…
I never liked LV’s runway bags…
Well, he wanted to have fun with his creation.
It’s so hard to have fun when you work.
So you love it or not it’s your choice. Remember it’s only your choices.

does any1 have any idea how about how much they’re gonna cost? and r they limited or not?????
I love the collection! Does anyone know when the waitists open up?
get on the waitlist ASAP, I can tell you these bags are extremly limited, it’s a collaboration with Richard Prince
My golly, looks like someone threw up on the bags in technicolor.
Marc Jacobs is a genius no matter what! there funky and cute in that exciting sort of way. Bright colours are totaly in right now, and i bet that soon you’ll all want one! There different and very unqiue- you’ll stand out from the crowd, i like them it shows a bit of well my personality to be quite honest! totally love it!Bringing back the 70’s is awsome lovve the fluro colours! fluro’s totally hot right now! Love Marc Jacobs trust him he’s the expert!
I would support Marc and buy one of these bags.
That is, of course if I had enough money to afford one.
so ugly..wow
LV is my fave of all collections, but I must say Im not impressed with these… I’m happy with my Monogram Canvas, Damier Canvas, Multicolore and Epi leather LV bags…
Marc Jacocbs is obviously loosing he’s touch
dont hate these bags just because you cant afford one!
You’re right…there are so many reasons to hate these bags…but that’s certainly not one of them.
I Really like this collection is really beautiful Marc Jacobs went really creative with these pieces its like art. And I got to say go Sponge Bob never knew he was sooooooo stylish.
love is lv,i really love this colection.it was beautiful.
YUCK!!! This is why I left Louis Vuitton and went to Chanel. These look “high schoolish” like cheap knock off Louis Vuitton bags.
I love COLOR – but this was a bit much, even for me. However, I did love the bag on the lower right hand. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT BAG?? I must buy that ONE!
Whoua these bags are great! especially the sponge bob one loool
Want to rent it?? http://www.sacdeluxe.fr
hey kids, remember fashion recycles ever 20 years. I would be a rebirth of the 90’s now–perhaps the reason for this technicolor clash on the classic bags.
Spring/summer 08 is not about prints anyway and I can see these bags as the focal point of an ensemble. FRESH!!
Again, these bags are hot hot hot!!! just wait and you too will change your mind… On the actual Firebird bag…(the one you guys call easter baskets…) there are no plastic dots on the ones going to the stores…. this was just for the runway….. also, the big bag on the very top of this page on the left did NOT make it to production… there will only be a smaller version.. It is called the Jamais.. 19.5 x 8.6 x 11.7… only in brown and white with one color trim.. I believe it is pink…
I prefer usually Chanel but this line is HOT. Many of the runway bags didn’t go to production!
Marc is a genius~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love his marc jacobs ss 2008 and LV ss 2008!!!
If I could afford them, I would buy the entire collection!!!
from head to toe!!!!
amazing amazing amazing!!!
well personally i think that the bags are fabulousness at its best….i absolutely love these bags.
they are so fun and upbeat and im so happy that marc jacobs its taking louis vuitton 2 that level where i can say that i love them.
before louis vuitton bags were boring and bland and i was getting tired of buying bags that all looked the same.
these bags are a major improvement from what they use to be.
please post when these bags go on sale
Never mind the bags – how hot does Marc look?!
personally, i think the shapes are wonderful, but the color’s combinations are a bit much, i am conseravite when combining several colors
louis vuitton handbags are wonderfull, just fantastic
Juz Love it. Will definitely buy the last speedy on the right. AWESOME!!
I need help finding our the name and where i can find a louis vuitton bag. I have only seen a couple, one in person, and a few celebs in pics, i think Hillary Duff and Eva Mendez where pictured with it. I think it came out sometime last christmas or so? Okay, It has black or dark espresso brown leasther handle and tirm and the main bag is auburn brown leather with the louis logo i think embossed or pressed in the leather with no added color. Some of them fade i think too? Can anyone help me find out the name of this purse…i think it starts with an A? I also saw it on the housewives of atlanta where Sheree’ got one at her birthday party? Please help me figure out the name and where i can buy it!!!! thank you!!!!
I love Louis Vuitton but is color is very good.If i had money i will buy the bags.
