Film designs for Fashion: is this the wrong way round?!

Sofia Coppola has created a range of bags and shoes for Louis Vuitton.

No, you haven't read this wrong: it it the film producer who designed for the designer. Confusing?

To be fair, she has interned with Karl Lagerfeld in the past and even launched a line of clothing in Japan. So she is up to the challenge.

And if we think about it, film directing is a bit like piecing together ideas and concrete matters. The difficulty might come in the production techniques. But one might argue that she has Louis Vuitton to help her.

To be honest, as much as her ideas and sense of aestetic are not in doubt, original visions are often not enough. But why not?

Fashion and film are closely interlinked and it will be interesting to see how a producer designs a film (literaly), instead of having a designer showing fashioning a film.

Now we have to wait and see how the collaboration goes.
