Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2008 Ready To Wear Show

Oct 9, 2007 by Twiggers

Tuesdays with Twiggers: Little by little my love for Louis Vuitton has been waning. I have been experiencing this irresistible urge for soft, smooshy leather in bold, bright colors. So it was with great anticipation that I eagerly waited for the pictures from the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2008 RTW show to surface, and for Louis Vuitton to lure me back in. I wanted color? Well Marc must have been listening;although I’m thinking he didn’t fully understand what I meant. How do I begin to sum up the show? Maybe one word can do it: confused. The possible inspiration: Spongebob? (See picture below).

The color palette was beautiful and vibrant, full of blues, yellows, watermelon pinks, and so much more. However, Marc Jacobs decided to throw them all on one bag! Bags with 3 or more colors, plus different colored handles, are too much for me to handle (literally and figuratively). An interesting twist on the bags was somewhat psychedelic monogram patterns, as well as turning many of the iconic bags into frame bags with little tags hanging that stated their name (i.e. papillon, speedy, and alma). There are also bags with ‘Louis Vuitton’ spelled out all over the bag (Think last season’s Marc Jacobs bags that did the same). This season is definitely not for the faint-hearted, or for someone looking for a classic piece to carry for years. I am intrigued enough to wonder what bags will actually make it into production.

Victoria Beckham Style: Giambattista Valli Handbag

Oct 9, 2007 by Megs Mahoney Dusil

When I board an airplane for a long flight, the last thing on my mind is which heels and tight dress I will be wearing. I fully understand that Victoria Beckham is in the spotlight, followed by a hoard of paparazzi at all times, and wants to keep a great stoic image, but come on! Flights over 10 hours have me beyond tired and smelling like re-filtered airplane air, which we all know is not a pleasant smell. Yet, time after time on her way to the airport, Victoria Beckham is impeccably put together from head to toe, with each strand of hair in perfect place, make up on, fashionable tight outfit on, 4″+ heels on, and a designer handbag to boot. And her son, Cruz, is absolutely adorable carrying his roll on luggage with a white Lacoste shirt, with a half popped collar of course. Victoria’s Giambattista Valli Handbag has been her go to bag before, and she loves it so much she also owns it in white. This handbag defines the look of the season, showcasing patent leather, a structured shape, and only small top handles to be hand held. Completely riveting! How does she do it though? You should see me getting on an overseas flight (and even worse getting off!).
