It is very likely that Louis Vuitton filed a copyright claim and asked Instagram to take action.
Foxy literally builds a business on knowing insider (and prerelease) info, and she also — as far as I heard — charges money for sharing that info with the followers. And up until recently she posted the official Vuitton photos with a ©foxy watermark. That is also very problematic legally. These things add up. She is a very lovely and kind girl, but I see why Vuitton has a huge problem with her.

But in her defense, it is the marketing and product line choices of the last 5-6 years at Vuitton that created such a demand for people like her on Instagram. 10 years ago you could simply walk into the store to check out almost the entire Kusama collection, even in the smaller boutiques. They were available and accessible. Now Vuitton is playing this hype game, of course people will monetize on that.
Many people tried to warn her about trying to claim a copyright of LV’s pics. When I posted to her IG about it, I was instantly blocked.
If she’s not going to heed helpful advice and instead infringe on a copyright, then LV is right to have her account shut down. She crossed a line and should brush up on copyright law.

She said it wasn't LV that shut her account down. I'm also not 100% sure if she was actually copyrighting the photo with (c), but using an @ symbol as a watermark
