let's face it, the Louis Vuitton pattern and its many Chinatown incarnations has been done to death. But I admit I have a serious weakness for a beat-up vintage LV luggage and trunks. Just spotted this on goantiques.com:









this circa 1900 piece is in excellent condition and priced at $22,750.00 USD. want.

Rei Kawakubo & Dover Street Market

Rei Kawakubo's Dover Street market opened this week with new and , as expected, innovative installations from Faragamo to Galliano, and a window display by Jamie Reid.


Kawakubo is quoted saying “I want to create a kind of market where various creators from various fields gather together and encounter each other in an ongoing atmosphere of beautiful chaos: the mixing up and coming together of different kindred souls who all share a strong personal vision. We hope to make DSM more and more interesting. I enjoy seeing all the customers coming to DSM dressed in their strong, good looking and individual way. I would like for DSM to be the place where fashion becomes fascinating.”

Leather just doesnt look dead enough.. I think a carcass would do.

I think a quality hat is one of the most neglected of accessories. Victor Osbourne has done some pretty interesting pieces for this newest collection, including this little number.

LattaBags to Bother, Ms. Jill Sander

I have to talk shit for just a second.

Jill Sander bores the living shit out of me, but I guess if you throw enough bags on someone its bound to be interesting.

the perfect addition to any wardrobe.

If its one thing our friends across the pond have on us its a penchant for badass hats. Being a stylist with a hat habit I was psyched to get my hands on the creations of Lucy Hanks for an upcoming editorial. Lucy is a UK-based couture milliner with a self-described love of "macabre glamour & swarovski crystals". Her fabulous creations feature actual bird skulls fully encrusted with pure swarovski crystals.
