I think Louis was doing just fine before Anna. :)

Trust me, a designer's stock goes way up after an endorsement from Anna Wintour. If I am not mistaken, she has helped Marc in various ways a few years now.
--------------------------------------------
Over the past decade, from her perch at Vogue, Wintour has not only dictated fashion tastes to the public but also influenced fashion's course in the back rooms of design shops as well. "She truly sees the magazine as a bridge between the designer and the consumer," says Donna Karan. Wintour is often called on by the world's biggest design houses to recommend new blood. She has single-handedly boosted the careers of favored designers such as Kors and Marc Jacobs, pushing their clothes to department stores and TV audiences. Another pet was John Galliano, whom she set up with a backer and virtually installed at Dior. "These are all behind-the-scenes things where we can help and we want to help," says Wintour. "Because it's all good for fashion." And it's good for business, too. "Whenever Anna gives us an editorial, we get a direct sales increase in the stores immediately," says Calvin Klein, another close friend of Wintour's. "It always happens."

That's all true, but Louis Vuitton is over a couple hundred years old. Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, etc. aren't, so of course Anna W. could up their status. I'm pretty sure extremely fashionable women equally important to Anna W. helped solidify LV's reputation long before she carried this agenda.

After chag posted the link to KK's site, I was just look at the video and I think I saw Anna Wintour, a.k.a Miranda Priestly! I think she's in the red vest and wearing sunglasses.

IS THAT HER? OMG - Karen Kooper was like....only a couple of feet away from the "Devil" herself!?:nuts:

Can anyone confirm this? Video's on the front page of her site
