You can trust Louis Vuitton to come up with stunning collections season after season and their Spring/Summer 2011 womenswear collection is no different. Apart from the design, the expertise of the Louis Vuitton atelier is evident in the form of intricate and rich detail. Right from ready to wear to bags, shoes and accessories are all lavishly created.
The shoes this season are high sandals that accentuate the sensual mood of the collection. The sandals with slender straps are basically made from glossy patent leather and have innovative touches of suede, lizard or satin. The heels are lacquered and adorned with fringes or shaped like animal legs and encrusted with crystals.
Marc Jacob is the man behind the collection named Artifice. The stress was on artificial so everything natural was avoided. The aim was to create a stylish collection and so everything was consciously overly stylized. The sandals from the collection will become available at the Louis Vuitton stores some times during the month.
