Emma stone as well as the Capucines Bag are Louis Vuitton’s new campaign stars

When we found actress Emma stone at Louis Vuitton’s Paris fashion Week show earlier this month, I was curious about why she was there—she’s not a routine fashion week attendee, in spite of being notoriously well-dressed on red carpets, as well as I couldn’t keep in mind seeing her wear the brand in the past, except for a vintage Keepall at the flight terminal a couple times. Well, now all of us understand why she was there: she’s the most recent star of Vuitton’s Art of travel ad campaign series, as well as she’s been announced as the brand’s new “muse.”

The ads were shot by Craig McDean in the California desert, as well as they likewise star the Louis Vuitton Capucines Bag in a number of different iterations, including spectacular red crocodile. It’s fascinating that the Capucines Bag continues to be such a focus for the brand, because it’s neither a traditional piece with decades of history or a product of present innovative director Nicolas Ghesquiere, however its high profile seems like a testament to its continuous appeal. inspect out all the ads below.

Shrink Ray Strikes spring 2014 Handbags; All Your favorite designers affected

In fashion, unlike literally every other facet of human life, the warmth of spring doesn’t make things grow – it makes bags get smaller. Below, you’ll find over a dozen mini designer handbags to lighten your load, now and in the future.

Alexander McQueen Skull print Canvas shopper

With much of the fashion world still reeling from the loss of talented designer Alexander McQueen, there’s a lot out there taking subtle cues from his signatures. This Alexander McQueen Skull print Canvas shopper recalls of what may be McQueen’s most commercial success, the skull print scarf. worn by fashion plates from Nicole Richie to the Olsen twins to Kate Moss, it was hailed for the unique mixture of dark subject matter and amazingly light chiffon.

The iconic skull has been reincarnated a multitude of times, on tank tops and rings, sandals and the fierce skull clutches, a favorite here at PurseBlog. The canvas shopper reminds of the skull motif in the best, most simple way possible. The design is similar to that of the famed scarf, but in light of the designer’s death there’s an ominous feel.

Yet, the golden hardware and luxe chain handle provide the perfect juxtaposition to the toughness of the canvas. It’s a good tote, but simple. So what do you think of this tote? Is it too simple or too ominous, or just right? buy through Bergdorf Goodman for $650.

Tod’s takes handbag inspiration from its classic driving shoe

There are plenty of brands known for bags that make disappointing shoes (and vice versa, certainly), so it’s no small feat when a company takes its footwear and successfully uses it as an inspiration for handbags. and yet, that’s just what Tod’s has made with the Tod’s signature Collection. The bags’ embossed pattern is an ode to the texture that forms the bottom of the company’s popular driving shoes, and it gives the brand what it’s been lacking: A logo bag of sorts.

Of course, an embossed pattern isn’t a monogram like those made popular by Louis Vuitton and Gucci, but it does serve as an identifier from one in-the-know person to another that they are, well, in the know. sort of like Goyard’s painted prints or Balenciaga’s motorcycle hardware, the embossing functions as a brand indicator without some of the stigma that’s attached to a full-on logo. For a company as discerning and subtle as Tod’s, it seems like the right avenue to take in buy to create a visual signature. would you get one of these bags? They’ll be available in September as part of the fall 2011 collection.

Vanessa Bruno fringe Sack

we all know how lovely the Bottega Veneta intrecciato woven bags are, but a lot of people feel like the brand’s simple good looks don’t fit their personal style. I can’t blame anyone for wanting something more, and while Bottega has been doing a fine job of mixing up their aesthetic recently, I’ve got a woven alternative for people that like something a little funkier.

The Vanessa Bruno fringe Sack is full of bohemian texture and visual interest in a way that might be a little much for people that prefer Bottega’s more traditional bags, but it might be perfect for people that like to make a statement. I think that we all know, at this point, that a statement is what I prefer.

The knotted pattern of the fringe provides texture on top of texture, and in a lighter color the lattice effect might have been over the top. In black, however, the bag looks rich and touchable, and I want to hold it in my hands so that I can examine its intricacies in a more complete way. The fringe provides the last punch of bohemian flare, and although I’m not a fan of fringe as a generalized concept, I think it works in this context.

Not only is the bag visually pleasing, but I think it would be quite functional as well. Woven leather has an inherent slouch to it because strips of leather allow for more movement than the solid material, and this bag will sag beautifully when carried by shoulder. The straps look generous and comfortable, and the neutral color means that this bag, despite its intricacies, will go with a wide variety of ensemble options. buy through ShopBop for $1494.

Melissa Loyd Maish

women this is when we requirement a partnership of smarts! For Viewer’s option I got an email about the new designer Melissa Loyd Maish. however when searching for a web site or some product information there is nada. Heather brought this designer to my attention, as well as I’m hoping all of us can put some information together! I was emailed this: “She has a one-page post in the October vogue (p. 240). There is no store provided that brings her stuff tho’ it states she had a trunk show at Bergdorf in September. The post shows a pinky/lilac hobo with an fascinating cut as well as studded floral theme as well as a special pull toggle closure. Forgive me if this is a lot more discouraging than illuminating!” No apologies needed Heather! I occurred to toss my style mag when killing a awful spider last week (and broke my scanner), so let’s see if some other women can assist out! let us understand over on the forum! ?
