You won't believe who Louis Vuitton dressed!!


Louis Vuitton's creative director Marc Jacobs has costumed holographic 'Vocaloid' Hatsune Miku, one of Japan's biggest popstars, for her operatic debut.


Marc Jacobs' latest project for Louis Vuitton is rather surprising - he's dressing a hologram, or more precisely Hatsune Miku.

Miku is what's described as a 3D 'Vocaloid', and despite the fact that she's a holographic projection with a computer-generated voice, she's one of Japan's biggest popstars and routinely sells out stadiums.


When the team behind Miku decided to branch out into opera with stage show 'The End', it was Marc Jacobs and his Louis Vuitton team that was called upon to dress her for her genre-change debut. The sickly-sweet hologram is usually kitted out in school uniform, but in true fashion form Jacobs decided to outfit her in four looks from his checkerboard-heavy spring/summer 2013 collection , complete with hair bows, handbags and statement flats.

The show, which debuted in Japan last December but is now going on tour due to popularity, will hit Tokyo in May and Paris in November, reports Global Grind .

Lady Gaga 'The Naked Truth' on Vogue Hommes Japan

Fashion director Nicola Formichetti has announced that the autumn/winter 2012 issue of Vogue Hommes Japan will be the last.



Men's style bible Vogue Hommes Japan will cease publication following its autumn/winter 2012 issue.

The magazine was launched in September 2008 as the Japanese counterpart to the long-running and highly-respected L'Uomo Vogue , the Italian Vogue for men.

Fashion director Nicola Formichetti - who is also the creative director of fashion house Mugler, a long-time collaborator of singer Lady Gaga's and the fashion director of high street store Uniqlo - announced the news via his Tumblr page yesterday.

In a short statement he said publishers Condé Nast had decided to switch "its men's publication globally from Vogue to GQ Style ." He added, "I loved the issues we made together. Each issue was a chance to collaborate with the best creatives in the world. Our goal was to push the boundaries of fashion and oh boy did we take it there!!"

Formichetti also hinted that he is set to pursue a new print venture with two of his colleagues from Vogue Hommes Japan . "In this digital world, I still love making magazines," he said.

The Chinese, Brazilian and US editions of the publication met a similar fate, with all folding within five years of their launch.
