Runway Video: Louis Vuitton F/W 13/14

  I SUPERLOVE the bags (how adorable is the fur Speedy!?) and the shoes but the fashion is pretty lame and the 60s housewife-hair desastrous.
How do you like the show (the Hotel setting) and the collection?

Hermes Store


You could pick your favourite way of wearing a silk-scarf from cards and the amazing Hermes-Ladies would drape it


I chose a scarf with clock motive to be arranged Sari-style...


...and also had a scarf braided into my hair


Hermes even served our favourite drink, Hugo

The Louis Vuitton store, all Yayoi Kusama-themed

The store`s inside was all about the red dots, too

Rena Lange`s FNO-exclusive dress

We had so much fun and loved this year`s FNO! It had great atmosphere, impressive decorations and many beautiful, limited items. It is almost impossible to pick a favourite in all that but the Hermes store wins as our 'favourite place to be' that night, because it had the most interactive & customizable activity.

The exhibition is curated by Katie Grand, who has styled Louis Vuitton shows and campaigns for years.



It shows thirty looks that Marc Jacobs created from 1998 to the present.

The Mannequins have reproductions of Louis Vuitton Speedy Bags for heads.

The very successful collaboration with japanese Pop artist Takashi Murakami created 'Monogram Multicolore' in 2003.

Season Favourite: Louis Vuitton F/W 11/12 Video

How breath-taking, gorgeous & perfect is this collection!?! 40s, military, white peter pan collars, corsets, pencil skirts, overknees, fur, leather, clutch bags, mary-janes - all my favourite elements in one collection! Sex-appeal and class have never been combined more consistant & tasteful! Marc Jacobs designer-credibility is officially restored!

PS: Kate is the queen, of course. Femme Fatales are traditionally linked to smoking, yes...but was Kate`s smoking on the runway really necessary? Yay or nay for that?
