Your Friday French Fashion Report: Louis Vuitton Spring Summer Collection 2011

"Happy, happy fashion - there's not much more to it than that" Marc Jacobs The shortest shorts, the most daring of plunging necklines, impossibly high platform shoes worn by the thinnest models, designer Marc Jacobs takes us on a whirlwind journey around the world in a time machine. Reflections of the Roaring 20's flash before our eyes and give way to the 70's and memories of quiana and Studio 54. Suddenly we are in the 80's with all it's jewel tones, and then we are in the boudoir of Mata Hari, then we're in Africa on a cruise with people from Palm Springs! A misguided foray into colour blocking occurs briefly in this ambitious collection, and I was left with the impression that as a whole it lacked cohesion, but nonetheless there are some really beautiful and interesting pieces. Which would you choose to wear strolling the Champs Elysées?
