Bright "eyes" with Louis Vuitton

To be able to write, you need to first read/watch and basically have an opinion (unless you're merely report that is). And boy, do I have an opinion on NYLON's piece about their piece on "bright eyes". Not in direct relation but inspired by the topic.

Whether or not "Louis Vuitton's new sunglasses deck some very familiar faces" isn't the question here. The question shouldn't be "How do you get people to notice your sunglasses?" instead, it should be how to get people not notice it.

Without a doubt, sunglasses are useful add-ons when under the bright lights from the sun - especially when driving. They make good accessories to enhance one's look. They even make good hairbands when you need one but unintentionally (or intentionally) left them on the dressing table.

Ultimately, if you standout (say you're Megan Fox) in a crowd, whether you wear a pair of sunglasses, people will notice - not just the sunglasses but everything. Even if you don't standout, blending perfectly in the background, if you wear a pair indoors and appear before my eyes, I'd notice it too. But not in the right light.

In short, wear a pair of sunglasses indoors and people will notice them, bright or not. Obviously bright steals more attention. Who would you notice more, a lady in a hot pink dress or one in a shade of grey?

Now to put things in prospective: "Louis Vuitton's new sunglasses."

Someone mentioned this to me, for a high-fashion magazine, if you don't get the LV ad, you're a goner. In other words, LV spends fairly well on promoting their brand and products. The need to have Marc Jacobs design them is pretty much secondary. Any designer, slapping on the LV label, would probably sell - to the masses at least - fashion experts aside. That said, we expect nothing less than the top designers to be given the right to slap on the label no doubt. It is LV after all.

Same goes for having a team of international craftsmen, a horde of It Girls model them and having placed in New York's coolest places.

Taking it to the next level, for LV's latest collection of shades, they decided, "We'll photograph at the so-cool-it-kills Standard Hotel, where Courtney Love will perform on New Years and we'll all probably die of champagne and screaming." And for the first time ever (I think), instead of models, they shot it on a slew of It Girls you've seen in NYLON, including designer Chrissie Miller, and actresses Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Isabelle McNally, and Josephine De La Baume. The cast was culled by graffiti artist and nightclub king Andre Saraiva.

Want a pair of LV delights? Well, you can get your hands on the shades in March 2010.
