Cate Blanchett, Catherine Deneuve attend opening of new Rome Vuitton store
Celebrities including actresses Cate Blanchett and Catherine Deneuve, attend the opening of Italy's first Louis Vuitton Maison.
Vuitton, well known for its signature bags and luggage, firmly reaffirms its presence in Europe.
Catherine Deneuve remembered her very first Vuitton purchase:
"It's very difficult to remember because I remember that I had a Vuitton case for make-up when I was a very young actress. But it was not as popular as it is today," Deneuve said.
In 1988, Louis Vuitton marked its first step on the road to Rome, and established its first store in the city at the famous San Lorenzo in Lucina Square. Over twenty years later, "Roma Etoile" will open its doors to the public. Entirely reinterpreted by architect Peter Marino, this historical cinema will offer visitors a comprehensive product range.

Australian actress Cate Blanchett stressed the importance of craftsmanship when it comes to the movie world as well:
"It's not just the actors who make great films and the directors it's also the hair and make up people, it's the carpenters, it's the costume designers, the propmakers. Having worked with Cinecitta I know first hand the extraordinary skillbase and that's why legendary films are being made and so with a brand that obviously enshrines great craftsmanship it's of course a wonderful thing that they're doing," she said.
Blanchett added that she just recently reunited with the film crew of 'Lord of the Rings':
"I did a small bit on 'the Hobbit' which was really fabulous going back a decade later to put back on the ears and work opposite Ian McKellen."
Blanchett is about to embark on a tour of Europe - and perhaps will take the opportunity to stock up for her travels in this fashionable new store. stressed the importance of craftsmanship when it comes to the movie world as well:

Who will be Dior's next designer?
Christian Dior's show at Paris fashion week on Friday will be the talk of the town as the brand is still without a designer six months after John Galliano was fired after making anti-Semitic remarks at a Paris bar.Shotlist
FRANCE-DIOR - Paris Fashion week is in full swing and clothes by Portuguese designer Fatima Lopes were first down the runway.
But the talk back stage isn't confined to the latest designs - the next big appointment at Christian Dior is a hot topic.
The brand is still without a designer six months after John Galliano's dramatic firing for making anti-Semitic remarks at a Paris bar.
Tipped to take over is U.S. designer Mark Jacobs who's currently working for Dior's sister brand Louis Vuitton.
Lopes thinks he would be a good choice.
FASHION DESIGNER FATIMA LOPES, SAYING:
"What I really like, what I really respect is the designers who are really unique and of course he (Marc Jacobs) is really unique."
But there are many who disagree including fashion blogger Marcellous L. Jones.
HOST AND EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF THE FASHION INSIDER.COM MARCELLOUS L. JONES, SAYING:
"I'm not very convinced at this particular moment that he will have what it takes in order to take over such an iconic brand as Dior. Particularly because Dior is still one of the houses to have the Haute Couture label. Jacobs has never worked in a house, to my knowledge, where he worked on Haute Couture."
Jacobs is credited with helping to turn Louis Vuitton into the world's biggest luxury brand - raking in nearly $8 billion dollars in annual sales.
Whether he'll get the chance to do the same for Dior is yet to be decided.
Their first collection without Galliano will go on show on Friday when critics hope to find out for certain who will be his successor.
