Cantinho chique da cidade de Nagoya. Louis Vuitton, Dior, Cartier, entre outras…
Louis Vuitton, grife de luxo francesa é uma das principais divisões da LVMH sediada em Paris, França. Conhecido sobretudo para sacos e troncos, a empresa colabora com figuras proeminentes, para a comercialização e design (mais notavelmente supermodelo Gisele Bündchen e fashion designer Marc Jacobs). Renome internacional e altamente respeitados por nome reconhecimento no mundo da moda, como resultado LV tornou-se um dos mais falsificada marcas de luxo contemporâneo. LV é também uma das mais antigas casas de moda do mundo, tendo iniciado em 1854. Ele vende os seus produtos através do seu próprio rigor e de lojas de varejo on-line (como um esforço contra a falsificação). Fundamentalmente, concorre com Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Prada, Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Yves Saint Laurent e similares marcas de luxo.
Christian Dior SA (more commonly known as Dior) is a French clothing retailer, under control of the LVMH group. The company was founded by fashion designer Christian Dior. Christian Dior SA itself controls 42% of LVMH assets, which holds other fashion brands such as Kenzo, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton. The holding company’s operating unit, Christian Dior Couture, designs and makes some of the world’s most coveted haute couture, as well as luxury ready-to-wear fashion, menswear and accessories. Christian Dior operates about 160 boutiques worldwide with plans to open more in the coming years. Its headquarters are located in Paris, rue François 1er. In 1998 it purchased Gerbe Paris, a French hosiery maker that had gone bankrupt. It is a major part of the business empire of Bernard Arnault, who is one of the richest people in the world.
Cartier SA is a French jeweller and watch manufacturer that is a subsidiary of Compagnie Financière Richemont SA. The corporation carries the name of the Cartier family of jewelers whose control ended in 1964 and who were known for numerous pieces including the famous[citation needed] “Bestiary” (best illustrated by the famous Panthère brooch of the 1940s created for Wallis Simpson), the diamond necklace created for Yadavindra Singh the Maharaja of Patiala and in 1904 the first practical wristwatch, the “Santos.” Cartier SA is headquartered in Paris.
The company has a long and distinguished history of serving royalty, as well as stars and celebities. One Prince of Wales hailed Cartier as “Joaillier des Rois, Roi des Joailliers” (Jeweller to Kings, King of Jewellers”). Cartier received an order for 27 tiaras for the coronation of the future King. King Edward VII was crowned in 1902 and in 1904 he honoured the Company with the royal warrant of supplier to the Royal Court of England. Similar warrants soon followed from the courts of Spain, Portugal, Russia, Siam, Greece, Serbia, Belgium, Romania, Egypt and finally Albania, and also from the House of Orleans and the Principality of Monaco.
Cartier is at present the no. 1 seller of luxury jewellery in the world, and the no. 2 seller of luxury watches (after Rolex)
Louis Vuitton Malletier, or sometimes shortened to LV, is a French luxury fashion and leather goods brand and company, one of the main divisions of LVMH headquartered in Paris, France. Known especially for bags and trunks, the company collaborates with prominent figures for marketing and design (most notably supermodel Gisele Bündchen and fashion designer Marc Jacobs). Internationally renowned and highly regarded for name recognition in the fashion world, as a result LV has become one of the most counterfeited contemporary luxury brands.
LV is also one of the oldest fashion houses in the world, having started in 1854. It sells its products strictly through its own retail stores and online (as an effort against counterfeit). It primarily competes with Versace, Gucci, Chanel, Prada and similar luxury fashion brands. (wikipedia)

FRANCE, Paris : An event took place in the rooms of the Roger Vivier fashion house with artistic director Bruno Frisoni who presented a collection of 14 accessories haute couture entitled “Paris, Paris”, including 6 pairs of shoes.
SYNTHE
- Bruno Frisoni, Artistic Director at Roger Vivier
DOPESHEET
An event took place in the rooms of the Roger Vivier fashion house with the artistic director Bruno Frisoni who presented a collection of 14 Haute Couture accessories entitled “Paris, Paris,” including 6 pairs of shoes. The shoes have vertiginous heels of 4.5 inches which required between them 50 hours of work and are adorned with multiple details (crystals, feathers, gems, sequins, etc.) which demonstrates an incredible savoir-faire. In ordering all of them, you would have to wait several months!
INTERVIEW with Bruno Frisoni, Artistic Director at Roger Vivier:
I’m simply calling this a couture collection and it’s true that for me shoes, bags and jewellery are clothes, so they are as important as couture clothes, which obviously explains the price and the number of hours spent on them.
I was inspired by a cover of vogue from 1963 which showed a very beautiful Christian Dior piece, a dress covered in floral print with embroideries of flowers and feathers. There were also Roger Vivier shoes in the same fabric and it reminded me of certain things that Roger Vivier used to do during his time with Dior. So what I primarily wanted was for the fabric to be painted, artistic fabric, partly inspired by Cy Twombly, an American painter who paints very beautiful, abstract flowers on very clear, very large backgrounds. Then I wanted it to be embroidered and detailed with flowers and feathers. Also I wanted an organic, architectural side to it; a bit like how nowadays Zaha Hadid makes completely organic things.
An important time in fashion history was the disappearance of Monsieur Saint-Laurent, it was a turning point for Haute Couture and it’s true that later on I wanted to reuse the wheat motif embroidery that he used with Monsieur Lesage so I called François Lesage and asked him if he still had it, he found it and agreed that we could do the design together so I reused the embroidery and redesigned the piece which I have named “Monsieur” because when we say monsieur in fashion, we mean Monsieur Saint-Laurent.
