The season’s other key accessories themes are also featured, including Polka Dots Flowers and Monogram Denim Patchwork bags, floral print hair bands and braided bracelets. Fusing echoes of 18th century fêtes galantes with an undercurrent of contemporary street style, the campaign depicts Scarlett Johansson as a not-so-innocent ingénue playing on a swing, wearing the collection’s delicate Liberty prints and ethereal voiles, and carrying the emblematic “That’s Love” shopper, filled with flowers as it was on the catwalk.

The actress is thus the star of Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2007 advertising campaign, which captures the spirit of the ready-to-wear in a series of deliciously pretty visuals shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. “And when it came time for the advertising campaign, we thought who would best represent this – someone young and fresh and slightly coquettish, with gorgeous skin and a figure made to wear bustier dresses and gold-heeled shoes, and we came up with Scarlett Johansson.” “With the Spring/Summer 2007 collection, we wanted to create something very fresh, very feminine, very pretty”, says Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton Artistic Director. (She first modeled for LV in their Autumn/Winter 04/05 campaign.) Appearing very love-a-ley and spritely in nothing but pink ruffles and lace, with Botticelli curls pinned to her crown, she is bringing back romance to the brand. Scarlett Johansson once again graces us with her beauty in Louis Vuitton's latest ad campaign, a second appearance for her. I was told that the Steamer was already sold out, but all I wanted was the Speedy, since I actually OWN one, and it's so definitive of the classic LV. I can't wait until mine arrives!!! Someone online is also selling a Multicolore version, but I don't know the retail price, so if you want to get that one, you might also want to ask LV. Just even from these pics, the craftsmanship is amazing. Look at the comparison between the mini and real thing. I was told that they made them to celebrate an event at the Paris store. Ladies, if you were on the lookout like I was, now is your chance to be the proud owner! I called 1-866-VUITTON last Friday and put in an order for the mini Speedy! There are only a few left in the country, so if you call now, you might still have a chance to own one of these babies. Some people are selling these minis on Ebay, and dammit, I just refuse, ABSOLUTELY REFUSE to be ripped off by these scalpers. Sadly, LV opted not to make them, so I was stuck with just magazine cut-outs, but not the real thing. When LV showed some prototype minis of their purses on their runway a couple of years ago, I was DYING, 'cause they had little cherries on them to match their then current Monogram Cerises collection. Yes, it's a sickness, but I'm always on the lookout for cool miniatures. where I bought these mini note cards 'cause they were like the little brother of the original size cards. I've bought Christmas cards from Crane & Co. For my normal bottles of perfume, I will actually try to find a miniature to match it.
