Jessica Simpson in Louis Vuitton Speedy Cube
Madonna may have made a splash in her ads for Louis Vuitton, but there’s still no celebrity I associate more with the brand than Jessica Simpson. Perhaps it’s because she memorably whined about wanting an LV bag for her dog on her reality show and then ended-up getting a slew of LV pieces for her birthday, but I feel like every other picture I see of Simpson she is in another generic LV piece. I know for a fact that Simpson is one of those celebrities that has a huge impact on what people buy because when I interned at Gucci in college, the classic black horsebit bag was unofficially re-named the “Jessica Bag,” since it immediately flew off the shelves after the starlette was photographed in it (literally they could not keep the bag in stock at any of the Gucci boutiques). So for better or worse, we may be partially able to blame Simpson for the seemingly never-ending popularity of monogrammed LVs.
What are your thoughts on Simpson’s LV collection? Have you ever spotted a photo of her wearing an LV you went out and bought?
