Janet Jackson Style: Louis Vuitton Miroir Gold Voyager Alma

October 23, 2006

Louis Vuitton | Mirior Gold Alma | View!
The original Alma entered the world of fashion back in the early 1930’s. It looked a little bit different from the Alma being produced today. It was a relaxed semi-structured bag made of cotton canvas (not coated) and was then called the Squire Bag. A couple decades later in the early 1990’s Tim White-Sobieski revamped the Alma city-bag which in turn made it an emblematic piece to the house. (Marc Jacobs became the artistic director for Louis Vuitton in 1997) Every now and then when the creative director feels like mixing things up they will call on an artist to come and play with some designs, to create Limited Editions. (Example: Stephen Sprouse scribbled the Louis Vuitton name in Graffiti. Takashi Murakami drew up the cuddly little Panda Bear, etc). Once Limited Editions are gone, they are gone forever.

Pictured above is not a classic. Pictured above is a hideous un-needed (no wanted) makeover on the Alma. Poor bag. Marc Jacobs I love you, but I just don’t understand why you would produce such a lovely bag with such a tacky dress.

You’re right. That bag is a travesty…but so was the Stephen Sprouse Graffiti bag.

I agree.. why mess with a classic? It looks like a bag that was produced in the 80’s…but they are just reintroducing it or something.

I prefer the new Black Mirrored bag but the gold is one of those standout items thats gets you noticed as someone whose conscious of current trends. Its perfect for a celebrity like Janet. I tried to fight it too but that late 80’s early 90’s flash is definitely is back and I’d much rather see this bag than another pair of leggings under an oversized- belted sweater anyday. Its great to punch up a basic outfit.

In my opinion, the gold is an eyesore, but have you seen the silver line? It is really pretty.
