Kate Moss for ??

Kate Moss was seen having a photo shoot at Place de la Concorde in Paris on Monday March 16. What could this be for? She was seen almost exclusively attending Karl Lagerfeld related events at Paris Fashion Week. And, she did get very early access to the Chanel FW2009 collection, as she was seen wearing [...]

Matthew Williamson for H&M

I’m just going to say it: I was not a big fan of the Commes des Garçons H&M collection. So when I saw the first photos of the Matthew Williamson for H&M collection I was very pleased indeed. This collection looks very on mark for the season and I cannot wait to see the rest [...]

First Look: Louis Vuitton SS09 Advertising

New Zealand born illustrator James Dignan has been commissioned to create these advertisements for a Louis Vuitton Spring Summer 2009 campaign.

Lagerfeld for Barbie & Ken

Karl Lagerfeld: “For me, Barbie is fun and she is touching in a way with her naïve beauty that she has represented for so many decades without really changing.” Personally I think Barbie has gone far too long without a little classic Chanel and Ken by her side in his morning dress. Perfect for Royal Ascot. [...]

Jimmy Choo Spring Summer 2009 Advertising

I knew their was something I liked about this campaign. Something in the photos that is almost Terry Richardson-esque. Oh wait… they were shot by Terry Richardson! The style of photography just hints towards his signature look, without giving too much away though. Oh, and Angela Lindvall can really work 5th Avenue in a bikini, no?

Daniel Lalonde Takes 200 Flights Per Year for Louis Vuitton

I find it facinating to learn how other people travel and I’m not entirely sure why. Perhaps because travel is innately a luxury — or at least it was before massive airline restrictions and cutbacks. But it does say a lot about a person: how they travel, how they pack, what they pack, and the [...]
