Louis Vuitton’s Springtime 2012 ad strategy is just as sugars lovely as the collection

Because I know we have so many Louis Vuitton lovers around here, I can't fight publishing these first looks at the Louis Vuitton Springtime 2012 ad strategy. If you followed our protection of the Vuitton driveway display a few several weeks ago, you probably could have thought how this strategy would look – light, special and ever so lovely. The company utilized Steven Meisel to take Daria Strokous and Kati Nescher in the globe's most magnificent ice treatment store, and the outcome fit the feelings of the clothes and components completely. Check out another chance after the leap.

Your WTF of the day is courtesy of Jimmy Choo

When I discovered the Jimmy Choo Whipstitched Fur Crossbody on Neiman Marcus as sale page (naturally) last night, my brain flooded with innumerable questions. Why had I never seen this bag before? Surely it had been around for some time if it a's now on the sale page? I trawl Neiman Marcus for things to write about  every day, how did I miss it? Did it go directly to the sale page, do not pass go, do not collect $200? Might this be the most heinously terrible crime against humanity that I a've ever seen from a major handbag brand, or is it hilarious to be bad?

And then there a's the strap! It looks like the kind of thick, fancy rope that you a'd find at an upholstery shop frequented by the Actual Housewives of New Jersey. No, actually, this is what it reminds me of (in case you don a't know where this is headed, skip to around three:30):

I am not even definite I do know where to start. The bag apparently comes with its own (attached!) bed of raccoon tails so that no matter where you place it, it  as definite to act as an expensive Swiffer and attract all the loose dust in a twelve-inch radius. Not to mention that while you  are jogging, that giant wad of fur is going to be dangling from your hip the whole time.

If the whipstitched reptile-and-leather bag had been on a traditional strap, it would have been a incredibly passable crossbody option, but with half a dozen tassles and yards of rope and pounds of fur, it as hard to keep in mind that there as even a bag there. I could imagine this bag looking the part in a Russian-themed Vogue news story, but beyond that, I hope that no designs to actual purchase or carryover it. Buy through Neiman Marcus for $1336 (was $1995).

With The Season Fast Approaching Party, So Make Sure Your Game Is Tight Coupling

We are preparing for a much larger bag guides sparkling little for the holiday season, but at the same time it is being prepared, I could not help but post-punk of Alexander McQueen Skull Box Clutch - Well, really deserves to be alone . Feathers and rhinestones and pearls, Oh My!

With the bag, McQueen is able again to do what he always does so well - successfully combine several design elements in a way that heavy does not feel silly or overwrought. The company is the kind of lightness seems easy, but it is not - just so no matter who is behind the handbags of Christian Louboutin. A clutch like this should be celebrated as a kind of accomplishment.

The best I can tell you that success comes from the mark, even after the loss of its founder, has a clear vision and shared instead of a lot of ideas. When everyone is involved in the design process acquired in a single aesthetic ideal, it becomes easier to work to achieve it everywhere, not just on the podium. The decoration on this clutch would look right at home cutting edges of a McQueen dress collection, and even feathers can make this bag a little awkward to hold at times, I think the attention to detail is worth .

Christian Louboutin Trash Bag Maybe Lou Is Aptly Named

Christian Louboutin Lou garbage bag, $ 895 by Neiman Marcus

Or, I suppose, are already calling his bag of "garbage" is a way to establish clear expectations of what it will look like to your customers. That decision optimistic, I guess.

Christian Louboutin has long been to "junk" shoes, which are traditional or Chanel pumps to material covered by a patent, you can see here. As the shapes are classic, and there is no surface lot, I always thought that the shoes worked, at least for a particular customer. Lou Christian Loboutin trash bag, on the other side? Not so much.

Society Louboutin is known for its cheeky to luxury goods, so I can see why he wants to bring success for shoes trash a trash bag. The problem with this implementation, however, is that even if the bag is relatively small, the material bin is just a big square. There is nothing to break, so all you see are pieces of string, which could be a shoelace, some gold leaf and a piece of a torn envelope. Perhaps the material would work better as a topping, so it would be more difficult to identify the contents.

The leather-toothed, shiny gold chain strap and leopard haircalf not designed for a service. I have long been a fan of the idea that too much is never enough, especially when it comes to accessories, but this bag is just too much. Shop by Neiman Marcus for $ 895.

Fashion Week Handbags: Hermes Spring 2012

It must be difficult to resume a legendary and iconic brand like Hermes, especially as a designer Christophe Lemaire, the highest-profile gig before taking the reins of French luxury giant was the first of Lacoste. These are two very different positions, but Lemaire was able to incorporate his own brand of sportswear for the crisp identity Hermes reasonably well. It's not a showman like Jean Paul Gaultier, but if that Hermes had wanted, it probably has stuck.

If only I could make a request, however, would Birkins and Kellys to see on the track. Hermes spring 2012 did not occur, and handbags plays an essential role in the success of the brand, it is worth taking a look at what the public can do with the most iconic Hermes Lemaire. As Gaultier showed us all these years, makes an invention great canvas.

Handbags Fashion Week: Chanel Spring 2012

Whatever the season, you can always count on Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel show at least one thing: a very important topic. Chanel spring 2012, should not look any further than Kaiser Karl nails shell to find the common thread running through all the ocean collection. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say that Lagerfeld was inspired by the coast, after all, the track was lined with sand.

I do not know how many times a woman has the opportunity to wear a dress of shell-shaped clutch in his life, but if you have a beach wedding on the horizon at any time, oh, the next ten years, I would say they are the best bags can be found to carry such an event. As always, Chanel will not follow many of the bags, if you want something a little less literal, but some of these bags do something to me long for a holiday fierce.
