Sofia Coppola a woman under 40 with too many trades on her plate; Oscar winner, film and music video director, photographer, screenwriter, former actress, (see The Godfather 1 & 3) eternal muse to Marc Jacobs, awesome girlfriend, cool American mom living in Paris and now, of all things, an accessories designer for Louis Vuitton.How can you hate an overachiever who was mentored by Karl Lagerfeld himself in the house of Chanel?
Sofia Coppola has designed a special Spring '09 collection of handbags and shoes for Louis Vuitton that will launch first in Japan in December and will then be available all over the world. (In the photo she holds the SC bag for LV)
Her style mantra: "I like to be comfortable, because I'm Californian - nothing too severe or feeling I am wearing a costume."
Her inspiration: A trip to Louis Vuitton's headquarters in Asnières. Sofia's aim was to design a lightweight, no-fuss day bag. (Uber Californian) In her words, "the perfect bag that doesn't exist."

If the bag on her lap is any indication of what's to come, then I'm looking forward to seeing her line. Thanks for the heads up!
