Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2011: Kate Moss Closes The Show (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

'Twas French maids and bellhops on the catwalk at Paris Fashion Week on Wednesday morning as Marc Jacobs opened Hotel Louis Vuitton -- with the help of some supermodel friends. Kate Moss made a triumphant return to the runway, closing out the show, and also on-hand were Amber Valletta, Carmen Kass, Carolyn Murphy, Stella Tennant and Naomi Campbell...each one arriving in an old-fashioned elevator for her turn.

From the AP report:

Hourglass shaped coats in tweed and slick patent leather were worn with thigh-high stockings - and nothing else. Black bustiers were layered over demure A-line skirts worn with shirts with round white collars. A black dress embroidered with sequins looked innocent enough until the model turned the corner, revealing her handcuff-bound wrists.

Superstar designer Marc Jacobs said the public's insatiable desire for everything with the LV logo sparked the idea for the collection.

"There's this crazy, almost irrational desire for these objects, these things we create," Jacobs told a scrum of journalists in a frenzied backstage interview.

"We were thinking about obsession, fetishism and we thought about an old hotel, with its chambermaids and the affairs that go on there, the crimes and scandals. And we just wanted to reveal all the amazing creatures who passed through there," he said.

Take a look at images from the show.

I'm sorry but they both look tired and pretty bad in these pictures.

Loved the hand bags, loved the shoes, loved the music...the clothes...umm, not so much. Having said that, as social commentary this was a FIERCE performance that perfectly captured a sense of urgency and the sinister element that is presently driving much of society. And Kate Moss, with her aloofness and cigarette was the perfect finish. Amazing!

Couldn't be their looks, so they had to need the money.

She would probably look much better if she didn't accelerate the aging process by smoking cigarettes. Cigarettes and the sun...

BRILLIANT. Louis Vuitton was by far the most amazing show at Paris Fashion Week this year. See the video and read more @imeanwhat http://bit.ly/hbUvU4

That music and that gloomy atmosphere and those girls coming out of the elevators made me freak out, as if at any moment a monster or men with machine guns would come out of those elevators and kill everyone. Did someone had the same impression? (Silly question, don't answer)

That is one ugly collection and Ms. Moss should retire from the runway.

It is an ugly collection. The only thing I liked was the black dress with the Peter Pan collar. I did like the handbags. I love Kate, but...she is beginning to look alittle long in the tooth.

I wouldn't buy a Louis Vitton because this line looks like Frederic's of Hollywood rejects. They are overpriced and some are actually tacky. People buy into the designers name and spend outrageous amounts of money on clothes that look like they came from the Good Will or standing on a corner trying to drum up business.

Naomi looked divine. A wonderful mix of browns, and that skin....

Makes me pine for the days when real models were on the cover and in the pages of Vogue and not celebrities.

Wow. Does Kate looked worked up close or what? And, please - put the cigarette down!

I was thinking the same thing! Did she have her face worked on?

[Sabrina DAmico]

She absolutely did. The bags and crows feet are gone! If it's not work, then that makeup artist is amazing! With her bone structure, though, even wrinkles look hot.
