It’s good to have friends in high fashion places!
Just ask Sofia Coppola!
The director had no problem featuring oodles of designer goodies by Chanel and notoriously film-shy Louis Vuitton in her latest flick The Bling Ring, which centers around a group of kids burgling the homes of Hollywood celebs.
She explained:
├óΓé¼┼ôI think it├óΓé¼Γäós not the ideal way they want to be portrayed. Louis Vuitton is this brand based on heritage and great craftsmanship, and that wasn├óΓé¼Γäót the side that we were celebrating. They wanted to be associated with my work, and they trusted me and helped me. There├óΓé¼Γäós a side that I appreciate about Louis Vuitton and Chanel, that they have this heritage and great quality, but the kids in the story are more interested in the bling aspect, kind of the status of those brands.”
It also helps that Sofia is besties with Louis Vuitton’s creative director Marc Jacobs! She also forgot to mention that she interned at Chanel when she was 15!
Yet even if she didn’t have these high-end connections, we think these brands would be okay with showing up in a Coppola production.
Her movies become cult classics before they’re barely out of theaters!
We personally can’t WAIT to see The Bling Ring!
