Academy award-winner stylish film director Sophia Coppola gets on famously with Louis Vuitton’s artistic director Marc Jacobs, so it was fitting that the French fashion house threw a party in honour of her new film, ‘Somewhere’, in Los Angeles last night.

The film tells a sceptical story about the pitfalls of fame and celebrity. Its hero is Johnny Marco, a troubled Italian-American film star (played by Stephen Dorff) who lives in a bohemian Los Angeles hotel, Chateau Marmont, surrounds himself with parasitic hangers-on and takes full advantage of the drugs and women available to a man of his celebrity in this specific milieu.

‘Somewhere’ won the Golden Lion for best film during the 67th Venice film festival and is tipped for success at next year’s Oscars. The film hits UK cinemas on December 10.
