It's amazing what a slight shift in color can do. Louis Vuitton has ditched the standard brown and tan palette for black and gray. Louis Vuitton has just unveiled their new Damier Graphite print to Louis-loving celebrities like Pharrell Williams and Joshua Jackson (pictured).

The gray and black checkerboard print gives the classic Louis Vuitton bags a nice urban and masculine edge. The bags' silhouette in the collection will be more "manly" as well by featuring not only small leather goods but an extensive selection of luggage too. In addition to the classic pieces some new shapes will be available in the Damier Graphite print, like a briefcase with a special compartment to safely carry a laptop.

The Louis Vuitton Damier Graphite collection is available to celebrities and will be available to the rest of the world in August 2008.
