The Editor: I think these are the best Louis Vuitton ads I have seen since Marc reinvigorated the house. In the past there was a gap between the Vuitton frisson as communicated on the runway and what was expressed in the ads. I mean last season's "changing room" series did not match Marc's aloof chic. At all. But these. I can feel his brutally selective presence here. The mixture of veterans like Stephanie, Christy and Kate with the new blood of the Colette's and the Anouck's. Perfect. The nonchalant styling and crisp black and white salvages it from the retro-80's tint that marred the show. Inez and Vinoodh are brilliant brand interpreters. They are the new generation! Bazaar is quite fortunate to have them!

The Photographer: Great styling, hair, make-up and casting saves this from being a boring catalogue. And of course I have to commend the photography. These guys love fashion, love models, love the whole idea of fashion photography. They work hard and it shows. Do you know how hard it is to shoot a girl with a handbag and make it look spontaneous. Great art direction too. Wonder who did the lay-outs? This is my No 1. campaign of the season!

The Agent: Yeah but you should know these pictures are very influenced by Dijan. I mean it's so close it's a little shocking. If these pictures ran in V would you think they are so amazing. Because that's what this whole campaign looks like to me. V's tribute to Elizabeth Dijan via Inez and Vinoodh

The Photographer: If V ran these pictures poster size, I'd probably buy 2 copies. So they referenced. Like that's never happened before in the history of fashion. Did you see the last issue of List?

The "It" Girl: Is that beret in the stores yet? I'd totally wear a Louis Vuitton beret. And the driving gloves. I have to have a Louis Vuitton driving glove. And did you see that leather cuff with the luggage fastening in the August Vogue. I called the store freaking out and this rude guy on the phone didn't even know what the hell I was talking about. Anyway Vuitton rocks. Love these pictures! Though I'm not buying retro-80's Vuitton clothes. No way am I going with the big shoulders!

The Editor: Actually they are not attempting to make a profit on the clothes. The ready-to-wear is clearly Marc's way to amuse himself. Vuitton is accessories and they rule the roost right now!

The "It" Girl: Next to Hermes.

The Editor: Of course!
