Money Cannot Buy Class

Spotted in Monaco recently was this pimped-out Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe customized in a Murakami multicolored Louis Vuitton monogram, belonging to the infamous Prince Marcus von Anhalt. Von Anhalt, who’s said to have essentially bought his title – Prinz von Anhalt, Herzog zu Sachsen und Westfalen, Graf von Askanien in full – by paying Zsa Zsa Gabor and her ninth husband Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt millions of dollars to adopt him, is one of Germany’s largest and most high-profile brothel and nightclub owners.

He refers to himself as “Prince Germany” and apparently uses the Rolls to promote the Royal Race, a Gumball 3000-style exotic auto rally he launched last year. The Prince, who’s been known to pal around with Pamela Anderson, claims to be a millionaire “in the three digit range” and to own 26 cars plus luxury real estate in several countries including Monaco and Dubai, attended by 12 bodyguards and 25 servants. This looks to us like not only a crime against taste but exactly the kind of thing LVMH’s lawyers love to sue over.

Louis Vuitton’s $3,000 Shoes

There are shoes, and there are It shoes. But even as It shoes go, these Louis Vuitton’s are in a crazy, feathery super-league of their own. These babies have gone global so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, meet Spicy.

At the recent Paris fashion shows, where the fashion paparazzi greet interesting accessories with the same enthusiasm as they greet a plate of pastries so Spicy caused a bit of a fracas.

Spicy, is a decadent bejewelled confection set with purple, green and orange stones, caused so much fuss, poor Alexa Chung was almost knocked over in the quest for a shot of hers.

Other celebrities recently spotted wearing them include Chloe Sevigny, Heidi Klum, Victoria Beckham and, of course, Madonna, star of Vuitton’s current advertising campaign.

So why the furore? The general concesus is that is a fun, jolly and proper work of art type of shoe.
