Naomi Campbell Unveils Louis Vuitton-Designed 2010 FIFA World Cup Trophy Case

Soccer stars love their designer logos, and the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has a similar, newfound focus on fashion.

Soccer stars love their designer logos, and the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has a similar, newfound focus on fashion. The 2010 World Cup Trophy, which since 1930 has traveled to host cities in an armored metal suitcase, will this year take the trip to South Africa in custom Louis Vuitton. The case, commissioned by FIFA, was created at Louis Vuitton's original workshop in Asnières, and will hold the solid 18-karat gold trophy until the final match on July 11 in Johannesburg.

"There was no reason why security couldn't be synonymous with elegance," said Louis Vuitton spokesman Antoine Arnault.

It appears FIFA agrees, as soccer's governing body has already placed an order for a similar design to be used during the 2014 World Cup.

Angela Missoni pumped up the color with her latest cruise collection, mixing graphic combinations of bright yellow, red, orange, green and purple with jolts of black to create distinctive tribal prints. Her fabric treatment may have been rooted in African motifs, but silhouettes were altogether taken from the '60s—with mini shifts and long halter dresses paired with armfuls of bangles, hoop earrings and head scarves.

EDUN kicks off the FIFA 2010 World Cup with summer tees designed by African schoolchildren. The 100 percent organic cotton shirts are available at Barneys starting today for $60.

Oscar de la Renta was not happy to find a Max Mara Studio tribal print (in the window of Lord & Taylor) identical to the one he had custom designed for his spring 2008 collection.

Roberto Cavalli does not believe any other designer could take over his namesake label.
