Louis Vuitton Catwalk Fashion Show Paris SS2011

For Louis Vuitton Marc Jacobs presented a collection with a disco-chic vibe.

He gave the collection a bit an oriental feeling by adding shiny Eastern-inspired designs. Gracefully tailored trousers and body hugging dresses moved like waves around the models, with sequin cummerbunds tied at the waist (or in some cases at the hip), recreating the traditional kimono silhouette.

I absolutely adore all the colours, perhaps a bit campy, but hey I like a bit of that!
