hello !

, sorry not been visiting here often, I have been very busy at work. But I have something I like to share.

On October 7th I went to Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2008 Runway show in the Cour Carrée du Louvre in Paris. It was fantastic, I had see many of the bag before at head office but I see them again on the runway and it make me adore them more.

The bags were designed by Marc Jacobs and Richard Prince who is an artist. When the show opened the backdrop (I hope this is right word) was black night sky then the music come on and the models dressed as nurses.

I realy enjoy it and I was very happy because I met Naomi Campbell who I adore, she is very nice person.

I got free gift which was a Stuart Prince bag but it is not useful for me so I give to my friend Brigitte, she been very ill and I give her gift, she very happy.

I look on google to see if I can find photo of the show and I found here Louis Vuitton Spring 2008 Ready-to-Wear Collection on Style.com: Complete Collection I could not take camera with me to show so I'm very glad I find some photo's.

Thanks for posting about it, I'm sure it was fun. The bags look good! But those "nurses" with the masks look creepy as hell.

Omg! You are very lucky! Thanks for sharing your experience.
And I agree, those masks are kinda creepy!
