January 7, 2010
Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2010 Look Book
If Louis Vuitton has its way, next fall, Pocahontas-chic will be the ‘look du jour’. Inspired from classic Navajo patterns and married to soft, warm textures, the renown French maison Pre-Fall 2010 that will let you show off a little skin but still keep you toasty from the cold. From fur guetres and cashmere high knee high socks to classic LV Cashmere throws used as capes, the collection will leave many swooning for these luxury and comforting pieces.
Suede and leather fringed Jackie-O dresses, college striped belts on a cashmere cardigan are perfect to “french up” your private school uniform. College stripes are also shown on the high knee socks and on the seam and handles of these athletic, slouchy inspired monogrammed bags.
The classic plaid shirt gets an update for 2010 and becomes a dress with monogramed trim. The shearling boots will keep you warm and you can opt for a fox mini poncho add-on for extra cozyness.
Julie de Libran, who designs the pre-collections and the resort collections explained that her goal was to mix past and present, keeping up with the tradition while offering a modern colllection.

Lanvin Brings Paris To NYC Albert Elbaz Included
April 6, 2009
Thursday April 2nd – 60th Street and Fifth Avenue
On Thursday night, Bergdorf & Goodman hosted a special event with Lanvin’s Albert Elbaz.
“I have many loyal customer in the US, some couldn’t come to the show in Paris, I brought them the show!” said Elbaz about the event.
The show was held on 60th Street and Fifth Avenue held in a majestic room with soaring frescoed ceilings and ballroom chairs, just like if it was in a parisian salon.
“The idea was to have all of you in this beautiful room that is a little bit of Paris. But you open the window and the door and it’s New York. And it’s the best location because Bergdorf Goodman is just behind us” With the intention of re-creating “the magic of a fashion show but in a more intimate way” Elbaz plucked 38 runway looks, some styled with commercial pieces, as well as the rose-covered door frame from his Paris show.
Smart move from Lanvin, bring the show to the costumer isn’t it the best way to promote the new collection. Albert Elbaz travelled especially for the event.
“It’s great that the press is here but the event is for my clients, I want them to see, to feel, to touch the clothes.” said Elbaz.
One client confessed: “I wasn’t impressed with the collection from the images I saw, now that I see it in real it’s a whole different thing, I loved it and want everything”.

Louis Vuitton Fall Winter 2009 Collection
March 16, 2009
Thursday March 12 2009, Cour Carree Du Louvre
For their Louis Vuitton Fall 2009 Show, a clear tent has been set up in the middle of the Cour Carree du Louvre.
A brass band playing can-can music in front of the tent.
The show started on time with Magdalena Frackowiak setting the record straight: “my top is made of lace & I have no bra“
Lace, ruffles, satin, bows, frilled taffeta dresses, everything that would add sexiness to every girl. The show came like a fresh air with its sassier, sexier, coquin spirit.
Flawless make-up, amazing pleated hair with a pearl pin on. Seated on my pink seat I had a hard time holding my camera seeing these 63 sexy models walking so close to me. The bags were topped with hot pink ruffles, Sequins as embroidery on the LV monogram, pleated satin clutch with LV signature made of studs.
One of the necklace looked like a gold bicycle chain with a pearl in the middle, it turned out that this chain is also used as a handle on one patchwork flap bag made of exotic leather.
Some of the looks were accentuated with a bunny ears headband which gave a chic Bunny Playboy feeling to the collection.
The shoes were high heels pierced with pearl-tipped hat pins; boots laced with velvet ribbons.
The front row was filled by Gong Li, Alexa Chung, Cécile Cassel, Gareth Pugh, Milla Jovovich,Virginie Ledoyen for the most all dressed in Louis Vuitton including Esteban Cortazar wearing Kanye West Sneakers creation for Louis Vuitton. Rachel Zoe was dying backstage for the Collection, making sure the ‘Rachel Zoe Project Crew” was filming her, holding, posing with the bunny ears on.

Costume National Fall Winter 2009 Collection
March 8, 2009
March 8, 2009
Ennio Capasa conjures his women from some hard-core planet where it’s always time for nightclubbing—and the nightclub is the one from a David Lynch movie. For Fall, the fatale of the Costume femme was slightly rough around the edges: red lips; messy, pulled-back hair; and a one-shouldered dress in ruby duchesse satin with ragged seams. There were dresses with halos of trailing Lurex threads, and others haphazardly ruched and suspended from shoulder straps. The phrase “dragged through a hedge backward” came to mind—but such is the strange, louche allure of Capasa’s work.
He did, meanwhile, also prove himself quite capable of a certain bandbox smartness, as seen in a gray flannel fingertip jacket over a matching wrapped mini. But it was more the sparkly, scratchy-looking fabric he used for a strapless top or a paper-bag-waist mini that betrayed the true Nationality of Capasa’s Costume. Now and forever, he loves a bad girl.
