Louis Vuitton introduced its LV Sneakerina, a hybrid footwear design, at a cocktail party in Santa Monica at members club San Vicente Bungalows.
A mix of music artists, actors and celebrity stylists turned up, including rock band Haim; “Bridgerton” actress Phoebe Dynevor; model and actress Devon Ross; actress-singer Ryan Destiny; Colombian-American actress Sasha Calle; singer-songwriter Charlotte Lawrence; actress Lizzy Greene; actress Lorraine Nicholson, daughter of Jack Nicholson; models and influencers Reign Judge, Soukeyna Diouf and Emma Brooks McAllister; model Lily Chee; stylist Elizabeth Stewart; stylist and manager-producer Jeanne Yang of Anonymous Content, and costume designer and stylist Jacqui Getty. All were clad in head-to-toe looks from the French house.
The LV Sneakerina, available online for $975, is in stores now. It’s a sleek silhouette, blending a ballet flat with contemporary sportswear. The design features a lightweight interior and flexible bend, created with movement in mind, and styles come in eight colorways that include green, fuchsia, beige — all three crafted from lambskin with trim in suede calf leather — as well as a metallic grained calf leather and a satin style showcasing the house’s familiar monogram canvas.
Louis Vuitton recently expanded in lifestyle with the launch of a home collection in Milan, with furniture and lighting; decoration, which includes objects and textiles; tableware; Objets Nomades, and gaming pieces.
And last month, the luxury brand showed Takashi Murakami works at Art Basel Hong Kong, which offered a look at the reedition of the seminal collaboration between Louis Vuitton and the celebrated Japanese artist.
