>> Although Marc Jacobs hinted that he might be putting a hold on all the Louis Vuitton collaborations a couple of months ago, it looks like he's not ready to follow through with that just yet.  The brand is moving from its last collaboration — the avant-garde designs of Rei Kawakubo — to work with someone on a whole different plane: Marc's close friend Sofia Coppola.

Sofia will be working on a range of shoes and handbags — to be sold worldwide — for the brand, putting that design experience she earned interning at Chanel and starting up Japanese line Milk Fed to good use.
