Bring a little Parisian chic vibe into your life by taking a closer look at the latest Louis Vuitton Cruise 2012 catalogue, which is filled with a myriad of mesmerizing attire options to draw inspiration for this season.

After mesmerizing fashionistas with a delightful cruise collection for 2012, it might have seemed hard to believe that latest Louis Vuitton cruise catalogue would bring something very distinguishable and ultra exciting, but the high end brand has proved the theory wrong with a creative photoshoot courtesy of Mark Segal.

The idea that a photo can be worth a thousand is imaginatively represented with the help of the captivating Parisian scenery that has the ability to capture an inclination towards romance and daydreaming like no other. Arizona Muse is the supermodel that makes this refined photoshoot special and makes the outfit styles worth emulating.

Perfect style recipe for a Parisian style romance? Clean lines, intuitive combos, feminine garments, careful accessories selection and classiness above all are some of the main guidelines to use this season. Feminine, though not in the traditional sense, confident yet carefree, the Louis Vuitton woman knows how to highlight her absolute best features to be able to shine at all times.

With so many alluring alternatives, it’s quite a challenge to restrict the choices to a few clear must haves, yet sultry casual dresses, sharp tailored blazers, flared white pants or or the old faithful skinny jeans definitely make the list. For a special touch, accessories like the iconic Louis Vuitton handbags, biker gloves, attention grabbing wedges or cuff bracelets prove to be the ideal choice.

Take a playful carousel, whimsical, oh-so-pretty clothes and Kate Moss and you’ll get the perfect recipe for a successful show. Marc Jacobs used all these ingredients for the Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 collection seen at Paris Fashion Week. The result? Have a look!

“After the hardness of Fall, we wanted something gentle and kind, fragile but strong, too,” Marc Jacobs said about his collection for Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 showed at Paris Fashion Week. It was a whimsical, sugary presentation, extremely pretty and frivolous yet with a special, powerful impact upon the audience. And we must admit that the merry-go-round played a particular role in this show, being the perfect symbol of the fashion industry which is in constant motion.

Everything in this collection was outstanding with a ladylike aesthetic. From girly tops with lace collars, delicate princess dresses and fashionable A-line and bell-shaped skirts to elegant coats, smart suits and crocodile biker jackets, Marc Jacobs designed once again an impressive line for Louis Vuitton. Broderie anglaise, organza, tweed, leather, sequins, crystals, plastic flowers, ombré feathers and sweet pastels were essential details that added a dreamy, unique vibe to the collection. And Kate Moss, of course, who was the last girl to appear on the catwalk.

The models walked down the runway with effortlessly gorgeous chignons accessorized by precious, sparkling tiaras. Speaking about accessories, the stunning ensembles were complemented by Speedy bags, transparent voile Lockits, basket weave bags, and dizzy stilettos. “The workmanship on our new basket weave bags is insane. It took six hours just to line up the skins on one coat,” Vuitton’s creative director said.

LV Epi leather was one of the greatest innovations of the 80s. Designers considered it as the ultimate symbol of extravagance and urbane glamor. In order to pay a tribute to the cult of this amazing material the Louis Vuitton atelier created a selection of fabulous handbags drenched in vivid and attention-grabbing hues. The couture house asked French heiress Claire Courtin-Clarins to act out the role of a modern trendsetter in the Louis Vuitton ‘Epi Is Magic’ campaign.

The young IT girl had no difficulties popularizing the latest handbags and satchel designs along with fabulous and colorful wallets. Fabrice Laffont is the mastermind behind the photoshoot and the ideal settings selected to breathe life into this lookbook were obviously the streets of Paris. Thanks to the creativity and originality of the photographer, we have a fabulous parade of images which offer center stage to accessories and present the model and the scene in black and white.

To the greatest delight of LV girls, style fans have the chance to spot the classic Tricolore Noe, the Alma and the Petit Noe. The limited-edition bags come in a variety of statement shades. The chromatic palette features: cacao, cyan canard, citron, fuchsia, cool gray, menthe, prune and classy black. Using a fabulous color palette is the secret weapon to turn these ‘oldies but goldies’ accessories into modern and on trend wardrobe staples.

Put your best fashion foot forward by complementing your outfits with high street handbags sculpted in different shapes and armed up with an ‘it’ color. The complete collection includes a set of voguish wallets like the Zippy and the Sarah wallet along with chic card holders. The LV brand was and will always be a real fashion force in this modern industry. Celebrities and trendsetters will have the chance to inject a vitality boost into their signature outfits with the help of the latest ‘Epi Is Magic’ pouch collection.
