Lindsay Lohan Goes Out With Rocco
September 1, 2010
Lindsay Lohan has been doing well since she got out early from rehab. We met Lindsay in Milan at Roberto Cavalli fall 2010 show and in Paris at John Galliano Fall 2010 show, she always seem focused with her feet on the ground. With a Vanity Fair cover, a major movie out such as Machette and numerous upcoming project Lindsay near future looks pretty good. Stylewise it’s great to see Lilo sporting a Alexander Wang Rocco Mini Duffel, but she didn’t stop there, we also spotted the Fall Winter 2010 Alexander Wang Tasha Stitched Overlay Boots
which look just so simple and casual with a pair of leggings.

Lanvin to Collaborate with H&M ?
September 1, 2010
H&M teaser videos just surfaced teasing about upcoming collaborations. Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz is on everybody’s lips. Sources tell WWD that a collaboration with a luxury house will be announced very soon, possibly on September 9, which is the date that flashes on the screen at the end of the videos.
While the camera never lingers on the faces long enough for recognition in the clips, the voice-over of designer musings, while electronically altered, are unmistakable Elbaz-isms. “Design is very important because it actually brings dream to our life,” says one.
A Lanvin collaboration would be beneficial for Lanvin and for H&M. Lanvin opened its first NYC store in july 2010.
Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Photoshoot
August 16, 2010
Louis Vuitton Monogram Empreinte Making of Photoshoot Video
Introducing Monogram Empreinte, the new leather line by Louis Vuitton. Since 1892, when it
created its first city bag in leather, Louis Vuitton has crafted a dazzling array of designs from this
most noble of materials. Now the iconic Monogram pattern is subtly embossed on the supplest
calf leather, a discreet yet indelible imprint of Louis Vuitton’s heritage and savoir-faire.
So delicate is the impression made by the Monogram that it naturally enhances the leather’s
finely textured grain and soft, sensual feel, seamlessly evolves with the range of roomy, supple
shapes destined to become the constant companions of modern urban life. Two totes, the
bohemian Artsy, a bowling bag and a clutch, complemented by a wallet and coin purse – their
pared-down, functional forms are at once classic and contemporary, young in spirit yet chic at
any age.
Balancing the street appeal of bold zippers and metallic hardware are quiet reminders of Louis
Vuitton’s tradition of craftsmanship – flawless saddle stitching, tonal edge dying, a myriad
ingenious details waiting to be discovered. Elegantly restrained, endlessly versatile, the colours
effortlessly adapt to everyday wear – a navy so dark it is almost black, a sophisticated taupe, a
rich blue, a lush cream, a deep burgundy. Each is luxurious yet laid-back, discreet yet
distinctive.
Monogram Empreinte: a subtle signature, an enduring style, an unforgettable impression.
Available in Louis Vuitton stores from October 2010.

Qasimi Homme Spring Summer 2011 Collection
June 27, 2010
Sunday June 27th, 2010 – Espace Commines
Qasimi Spring Summer 2011 Collection draws inspiration from Khalid Al Qasimi’s background in the Middle East, probing into the rural wilderness of a cross-cultural desert trek though time. The collection calls to an era past, returning to the beautiful tradition and mystical essence of the nomadic heritage from the ancient middle east.
The collection exudes the signature tailoring of which Qasimi is famed for. Minimal lapels, sleeveless suiting, oversized shirting and unlined linen jackets are mixed with a rugged twist of oversized hooded tops all of which are underlined with a hint of the military. Leather makes an appearance in the form of sleeveless jackets, waistcoats are accentuated with sailor hoods whilst a leather and jersey all in one adds an intriguing twist. Impressive flowing trenches top the collection off, in fine delicate cotton and transparent technical fabrics. Unveiling the use of geometrical prints for the first time, Qasimi juxtaposes this with jersey and light woven knits to transport the collection to a new dimension. Hues of black are muted by soft earth browns and pale greys, giving this military sophistication of softer edge.

Kris Van Assche Spring Summer 2011 Men’s Fashion Show Video
Friday June 25th 2010 – Halle Freyssinet
For its Spring Summer 2011 men’s collection, Kris Van Assche presented a succession of raw aesthetics of tired, dirty, worn out outfits. Like an Avedon portrait, a direct look and a naked truth against a white background.
From the deepest black to dusty grey, everything seems to have an ashen hue That tells the beauty of faded tints and hands at work.
Contrasting stains as its climax. Suits are everywhere, without restraint and definitely freed from their shackles. Light, creased, sleeves are rolled up to be able to work. Raw edges for the trousers and repaired waistcoats. Shirts used as overalls and sweatshirts belong. Tool belts and safety shoes. Work clothes diverted from their original use.

Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2011 Men’s Collection
June 25, 2010
Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2011 Men’s Fashion Show Video
Thursday June 24th, 2010 – 104 Paris
Louis Vuitton has gone on a head trip for Spring 2011. “It’s a rhaspody of three virtual scenarios for a digital bohemian, a man who travels the world from behind his computer screen” says Louis Vuitton Men’s Studio Director Paul Helbers under the artistic direction of Marc Jacobs.
“The codes have changed. There’s an eclecticism in the way men dress today from Scandinavia to China and Brazil. It’s a culture clash” says Helbers.
Amazon skydiving inspires the collection’s army issue parachute constructions and lightweight silks. Layered leopard prints provide jungle camouflage, and from China there’s quilting, classic patterns and animal signs from the Chinese zodiac (interpreted by New York superstar tattoo artist Scott Campbell) come to embellish the ensemble.
The collection mixes technical nylons, elegant silks, soft, washed see island cottons and linens lightly coated or chintzed to wrinkle just slightly. Technical nylon is roughed up in weathered prints for sun-distressed parkas, textured in a silk blend taffeta weave for an ultra-light trench, or dressed up in the LV digitalized monogram floral for a jacket that’s still unfussy.
Exotic and earthy colors cross the rain forest to Shanghai from lava to smoke pearl, chartreuse, amber, parakeet green and chocolate chip.
Accessories are electic and elegant including Chinese symbol LV medallions on leather cords to wrap around the wrist, a lifesaver medallion in unpolished tiger’s eye and windshield sunglasses. Sandblasted crocodile monk’s sandals and Chelsea boots alternate with Blunstone type trainers with perforated detailing.
Both lightweight and functional, the bags inspired by active sport are the perfect match with the clothes. Featuring ingenuous details such as numerous straps and handles, zips and convenient pockets, the super light nylon styles showcase the iconic Damier check printed either in black, electric blue and amazonian green. Totally foldable and packable within their inside pocket, refinement lies in the teinted calf and sophisticated suede trimmings. Washed olive or Khaki denim tote styles, printed with either LV monogram large scale or “Louis Vuitton Articles de Voyages” archive signature bring a military feel to the collection.
Complementing the rich nylon and denim models, the iconic Keepall Waterproof comes this season in a Damier printed translucide PVC version while the Utha leather and Damier Graphite Canvas are personalized by Tattoo artist Scott Campbell.

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring Summer 2011 Men’s Collection
June 24, 2010
Thursday July 24th, 2010 – 325 rue Saint Martin – Paris 3eme
We were in Paris but inside the Jean Paul Gaultier Headquarters it was a totally different atmosphere, North African music, Morrocan leather puff on the floor and a hamman as the runway backdrop. From the begining it was clear that the Jean Paul Gaultier Spring Summer 2011 Men’s show was a tribute to Yves Saint Laurent who was a Marrakech lover. A Yves Saint Laurent and Betty Catroux look-alikes walked down the runway as a couple wearing the iconic YSL lace up Safari tunic. But that wasn’t the only reference to the genius designer, through the collection Gaultier added YSL iconic details, the YSL spirit was there.
Gaultier, a longtime Marrakesh lover as well, reinterpreted North African traditional clothes and accessories such as the Djellabas (loose-fitting Moroccan robes) which he transformed to a neo “YSL Smoking” Dejlaba inspired. The harem pants become luxurious in total leather with matching saharien lace up tunic and also in an aerien linen fabric perfect for the summer. The national traditional sleeper “the babouche” gets a makeover and apears to be the lovechild between a babouche and a derby dress shoes while sneakers are open toe. Effortless well fitted pants are paint spray degrade and the cheche scarf makes its come back. Every seasons Gaultier takes ethnic inspirations and twist them up in such a modern way, adding sensuality to the mix.

Francisco Van Benthum Spring Summer 2011 Collection
June 23, 2010
Wednesday june 23th, 2010 – 13 rue du Mail – Salle Erard
“Brave” is the title of Francisco Vanbenthum‘s Spring Summer 2011 Collection. For this season, Van Benthum took inspiration from army uniform in all its different appearences from different decades, from the historical battle dress to the high-tech snipers utility gear. What Van Benthum especially fascinatesis the “clever” construction and technical solutions, invented pure from practical perspectives. Van Benthum interpreted these utility elements and details to compose a contemporary men’s wear collection. Within this collection he emphasises on the construction and the non-construction part of garments and plays with proportion. The familiar silhouette and the colour palette including different shades of army green, grey and beige underline the image of the brave young soldier.
