Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2011: It's Finally Here - Opulent Opium

On Your Marks

Ready?

Set...  throughout, there was a distinct Seventies influence: silhouettes were either fluid and flowing or slim and slinky; colors were bright and often block; there was lamé and lurex, strass and sequins.

Though small in size, the collection's bags made a striking statement. Neat flap purses in two-tone calf with gold-link clasps dangled from long chains, as did python-trimmed pochettes with the Monogram pattern in wooly jacquard. Streamlined clutches came in color-blocked stingray or in multicolored sequined tiger stripes.

"The relation between boredom and camp taste cannot be overestimated. Camp taste is by its nature possible only in affluent societies, in societies or circles capable of experiencing the psychopathology of affluence."  
Marc Jacobs unveiled his Spring/Summer 2011 collection for Louis Vuitton with a quotation from the essayist Susan Sontag. 
Chinoiserie was also a recurrent theme in cheongsam dresses, jackets with mandarin collars, and fans fashioned from Monogram lace.

With such lavish detail on clothes, accessories stepped back from the spotlight this season.
