Louis Vuitton Mini Handbags 2013

Have you had the chance to see the Louis Vuitton 'Small is beautiful' mini handbags campaign yet? If not, we dare you to look at the new ads and resist being mesmerized. We sure couldn't. Not only by the fabulous new offerings, but also by the fact that more and more fashion giants are recognizing the influence of fashion bloggers in defining or consolidating what's hot and what's not at the moment style-wise.

The legendary French label enlisted bloggers Elin Kling, Miroslava Duma and Hanneli Mustaparta to convince us of the big impact small handbags can have. As for the majority of the new handbag versions, the color palette is decidedly spring-oriented though bright and bold tones can work for adding a fab focal point in any season. The well known monogram is still present and if fairly recent offerings are to be taken as reference, such versions aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Handbags aside for a moment, the outfits are a great source of inspiration as a whole. Pairing simple yet high impact pieces in the right tones can instantly create the 'je ne sais quoi' vibe that made French fashion choices so covetable. The new 'Small is beautiful' campaign sure makes a persuasive case in favor of small bags, but is it enough to convince you? There's definitely a decent selection and a city chic allure that can be incredibly magnetic but is it enough to make you give up your trusty, practical oversized bag in favor of one that allows you to carry essentials only?

Louis Vuitton Dresses 2013

Without the renowned monogram, the new Louis Vuitton spring 2013 collection features checks, flowers, and grids. "I wanted to get away from storytelling and do something very mathematical and geometric," said Jacobs backstage after the show.

There were some amazing contrasts catching everyone's attention...Black and white, vibrant hues and nudes, ground-skimming and mini skirts and dresses, it was an interesting game that bewitched the audience. There were also geometric motifs but also lovely floral embroideries, and eye-catching sequins.

The looks were completed by pointy-toe pumps with flat bows and chunky heels and handbags without the LV logo. Well, it seems that the pairing of mini and maxi dresses was inspired by the contrasting 60s beauties Françoise Hardy and Jane Birkin. At least this is what Marc Jacobs said. "Hardy was always covered up, Birkin always revealing plenty of flesh, but both always in simple clothes," the designer explained.

It seems that the starting point was 'Les Deux Plateaux,' a work by artist Daniel Buren consisting of 260 columns of three different heights arranged in a grid, which has been in Paris’ Palais Royal since 1986. "After the romance of the train and storytelling, this felt like something very powerful without telling a story. I was like, yeah, let's have a grid," the famous designer said.

"For me, this show is about purity, about how something simple can be very comforting." Models walk down the runway in pairs, flaunting beautiful 60s-inspired silhouettes. "I can't seem to avoid a reference when I design," Jacobs said after the show, "But it wasn't meant to be 60s. The beehive hair probably aided that". As for the legendary LV monogram? "I didn't want to do the LV monogram for once," said the designer, "so I used the LV Damier squares instead".
