Louis Vuitton Tips its Hat to Masai Warriors

Louis Vuitton has been all about Africa lately, first with creating a new ad campaign with a model from Zimbabwe, then with its Spring/Summer 2012 Collection.  The collection, designed by Kim Jones (a graduate of Central Saint Martin, London) said he drew much of the inspiration from his childhood in Ethiopia and Botswana.  The collection features a lot of plaids, commonly worn by the Masai Warriors, and safari ready ensembles.
