Orient Express: Louis Vuitton's winter 2012 campaign

For the new Louis Vuitton Campaign Steven Meisel photographed ten newcomer models in the ambiance of the fashion show - the Louis Vuitton Express: "For our Fall/Winter 2012-2013 campaign, we wanted to continue the journey we started with the fashion show," says Louis Vuitton Artistic Director Marc Jacobs. "Our aim was to recreate, in a cinematic manner, the glamour of travel and the romance of going somewhere, of meeting someone, of looking out a window…"

In the role of the travelers, the models showcase the collection’s gracefully A-line silhouette, embellished with jewel buttons and opulent brocades. “All of these glamorous travelers have an imaginary voyage in their head, which is wonderfully captured by Steven Meisel,” continues Marc Jacobs. “I cannot think of anyone who could pack a train with so many beautiful young women and their porters, and still make the ambiance feel light and romantic. As opulently dressed as the girls are, there is a lightness and a magic to everything this
season – and that is reflected perfectly in these images.”
