What do Naomi Campbell and Louis Vuitton have in common with the World Cup?







This time, the World Cup trophy will be traveling in style.

French fashion and handbags house Louis Vuitton, with help from supermodel Naomi Campbell, has unveiled an elegant leather-bound case that it produced to carry the trophy to South Africa on Tuesday.

From the tournament's beginning in 1930, the World Cup trophy has always been transported in an armored metal case — largely for reasons of security.

But as Louis Vuitton spokesman Antoine Arnault put it: "There was no reason why security couldn't be synonymous with elegance."

The case features gold-colored clasps and the famed LV logo theme. Soccer governing body FIFA ordered it in March.

The fashion house also has a contract to make another one for the 2014 World Cup.

All the footballers are now wondering if the case comes with the trophy.

I think it's part of the contract at Real Madrid.

Even Pipita is not immune.

And I thought the world cup couldn't be more of a tribute to excess.

lulz the way he's holding it, it's like he wants nothing to do with it. that's the face you make when you kill an insect for someone and take it to the trash.

There will be a separate WC final just for the case..Cristiano vs Sergio

Weirdly that trophy isn't even the real original World Cup. It's gold plated and used to hand out at the event and can tour around and stuff with less worry.

The real one has been stolen a couple times since it's pure gold so it's kept in a locked vault at all times and the only people that can touch it are heads of state and people who have won it.

National Geographic FTW.

hahaha, why did Sergio come to my mind too?


O/T: Bangs is a very good look for Naomi, considering I usually find her very unattractive.
