Usually high-end designers stick to print ads...but The New York Times states that Louis Vuitton will be advertising on television. This will start on Feb. 15 and consumers will be seeing the ads not only on TV, but in movie theaters around the world. Apparently the campaign is going to show "average" people instead of crack head celebrities like Lohan. So this means, I'm outta the picture. Damn. No more free Louie bags for me.

NY Times says, "“It is supposed to touch our clientele and viewers in ways that perhaps other media will not touch,” said Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton’s head of marketing. “This is a way to say Louis Vuitton is different. It is something éphémère, but also something that stays.”

cardigans

So, besides the fact that American Apparel is making a ridiculous advertising campaign, they have the best clothing for basic wear. It isn't pricey either. According to the January 18, 2008 New York Times, "American Apparel is moving in a political direction. The cause is immigration reform, and the ads say in part that the status quo “amounts to an apartheid system” and should be overhauled to create a legal path for undocumented workers to gain citizenship in the United States."

Interesting...reminds me of the United Colors of Benetton ad campaign.

Anyways, I love cardigans. You can rock a cardigan with a wicked cool and urban shirt underneath it and then top it off with a simple piece of long jewelery. I even wear my silk scarf with it. Yummy. The clothes are also unisex, so feel free to borrow your boyfriends cardigan. You have to dish out around $40 bucks.
