Summer is a break in everybody's routine, a time for travelling, going on holiday and making new experiences, but also for fulfilling the desire to go elsewhere.
Ailleurs, elsewhere, is the name of the new capsule collection by Louis Vuitton, created to make the Spring Summer 2011 more stylish than ever.
Clothing, bags, shoes and accessories are embellished with three watercolor prints evoking summer destinations: Promenade reminds us of the Riviera glamour; Escale channels the relaxing charm of sand and sea; Aventure recalls a journey deep in a tropical jungle.
The must-have pieces of the collection are the canvas tote bags: made of canvas with a complex screen printing technique to make colors brighter, they are embellished with hammered calfskin handles and available in two sizes, perfect for the beach.
The mini-collection includes cork wedges with patent straps and a set of summer clothes with the Aventure print: a sexy bikini, a t-shirt with sequin embroideries and a bustier dress in silk and cotton.

Chic animals for LV: An installation created by Billie Achilleos for the Fall/Winter 2011-12 press day in Paris
An owl, a chameleon, a beaver, a cobra: animal installations that British artist Billie Achilleos has realized to add a glamorous touch to Louis Vuitton’s press day in Paris. The animals were created by assembling small leather and non-leather accessories from the fashion house.
Each animal has been chosen for a reason that associates them, somehow, to the key values of the house, headed today by Marc Jacobs, and to Vuitton’s collections: the armadillo is synonymous with materials’ resistance; the beaver evokes the functionality of LV creations; the chameleon was picked for its versatility and for its varied colors; the grasshopper because its sound recalls that of zips.
The author of the installations, Billie Achilleos, has already collaborated with the Parisian brand: after graduating in Technical Arts and Special Effects at the Wimbledon College of Art (2007) he was contacted by the house in 2010 and realized for LV the installation Collector, on display in the windows of Louis Vuitton New Bond Street Maison.
