Sofia Coppola design shoes, handbags for Louis Vuitton
Filed under: Handbags, Shoes, Celebrities with Style
Sure, she won an Oscar for directing Lost in Translation, but can Sofia Coppola's celluloid skills translate into the world of fashion? Apparently, Louis Vuitton is willing to take the risk on her sartorial skills, they're letting her design a range of shoes and handbags that will be launched in Tokyo -- ironically the setting of her acclaimed film -- and the sold in luxury stores worldwide. Of course, we already know that LV and the Coppolas are BFFs ever since Sofia and her father posed for Annie Leibovitz for LV's "core values" campaign. But that doesn't appear to be the only reason the French luxury designer tapped Sofia for the project. Apparently, Sofia has a background in fashion design that dates back to her pre-film days. After graduating from the California Institute of Arts, Coppola started her own clothing line named Milk fed, which, appropriately enough, is sold exclusively in Japan.

Good morning. Please allow me to introduce myself; my name is Ana Carola Cardenas and I work for a Mexican magazine called Le Fourquet (www.lefourquet.com). The magazine is focused on international lifestyle and gourmet and it is published by Milenio Editorial Group, one of the most important newspapers and media enterprises in Mexico (www.milenio.com).

Since we look forward to maintain the quality of our magazine and interest of our readers, we would like to prepare a special feature of stylelist for Le Fourquet magazine. For this reason, I’d like to ask for some high resolution pictures (300 dpi or 1 MB at least) of Sofia Coppola colaboration for Louis Vuitton from your side.
Thanks in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
