>> Could this picture be the new Louis Vuitton Journeys ad with Sofia Coppola and Francis Ford Coppola?

There is no official confirmation, other than this photo has the coloring of an Annie Leibovitz shot, the right people framed in it, and the requisite Louis Vuitton monogram tote in plain view.

When asked why she agreed to be in the newest wave of the campaign, Sofia replied: "I liked the ad Annie shot with Keith Richards. It was flattering to be asked. Plus I've known Marc Jacobs since I was 18."

And that's that.

Sofia Coppola Sets a Wedding Date

>> It was confirmed earlier this Summer that Sofia Coppola planned to wed her longtime boyfriend, Phoenix's Thomas Mars, this month - but now, there's an exact date: Saturday, Aug. 27. The couple plan to hold an "intimate family wedding" in Bernalda - the hometown of Coppola's great-grandparents - with the civil ceremony celebrated in the garden of Palazzo Margherita, a 19th-century southern Italian villa her father Francis Ford Coppola has been renovating. “The ceremony will mark the end of renovations at the palace, which will soon be inaugurated as a resort, open to the public,” said Coppola pere’s great-nephew Gaetano Russo who, on the day of the wedding, plans to screen scenes from both Sofia and Francis Ford's movies on the facades of about 10 buildings in the village.

There still hasn't been any wedding dress designer confirmation - Marc Jacobs, Coppola's close friend and the most likely candidate for the job, seemed unsure while denying that he was doing the honors back in June, and after Coppola attended Azzedine Alaia's couture show last month, rumors circulated that Alaia may be the dress's designer.

>> Louis Vuitton creative director Marc Jacobs and Sofia Coppola have long been friends, so no surprises here: It sounds like Sofia and Francis Ford Coppola were photographed recently in Argentina by Annie Leibovitz as the next installment of the Louis Vuitton Core Values campaign.

The father-daughter duo join the eclectic mix of Mikhail Gorbachev, Steffi Graf and Andre Agassi, Keith Richards, and Catherine Deneuve who have already been featured in the initiative which aims to underscore Louis Vuitton's roots in luggage and balance out the brand's other more flashy, fashion-driven ads.
