Louis Vuitton has put a selection of gilded dinosaur skeletons in their 5th Avenue Store windows. Inspired by the Natural History Museum in Paris’s Les Jardins des Plantes, the selection of dinosaur skeletons include Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Dimetrodon and Spinosaurus. The dinosaurs also remind me of the National Geographic inspired collections from Kim Jones and the collections he creates inspired by his trips around the world. 

   The Fall/Winter 2013 Collection from Louis Vuitton was probably one of my favorite collections from the Fall 2013 season. But if you were like me, you probably paid a good amount of attention to the accessories. Here, is a further and detailed look at those same accessories that made their debut back in January. Collaborating with Chapman Brothers, Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2013 accessories feature the artwork from the Chapman Brothers, Jake and Dinos. Consisting of bags and scarves, the collection is available in limited quantities now. (source: HB)

   Burberry Prorsum celebrates the return of their menswear show back home to London, with a stunning and breathe taking collection during London Collections: Men. Inspired by “Writers and Painters” the Spring/Summer 2014 collection featured airy and light-weight materials. With relaxed fits, stress free coats and jackets that moved in the wind as they walked down the runway, everything from the ties, shirts, pants, and the bags, were relaxed, free of any constraints, this was definitely a collection where less was more. Jackets had relaxed shoulders, fell below the knees, completely light weight. The perfect deconstruction of the strong construction we often see in Burberry’s clothing, where everything is often strong, refined, and held together.  The play with prints and patterns, as well as the juxtaposition with painterly tones and pops of color every now and then, was well done. The collection was inspired by true artists and when looking at the looks when they came down the runway, the models definitely reminded me of editors and writers in their own way. The combinations of the ties and shirts were spot on.

  With London Fashion Week under way, it’s always great to start the week with a great show to set the tone for what to expect. If Hardy Amies was any indication of the tone for London Fashion Week, we sure are in for a treat. The Hardy Amies Spring 2014 collection, was everything that we would expect from the brand. Classic cuts, color, play with prints and patterns, wide range of materials from suede double monks to plaid suits, these are the many different elements that come together to create something that’s truly inspiring. A bold and fresh take on menswear classics, the impeccable tailoring and slim fitted garments were perfectly fit for the modern day gentleman. (Images courtesy of FY!)

   As well as a behind the scenes video of the campaign, here are images to go along with it. The behind the scenes photos do a great job at showing each actors individual personalities, an idea that has been the focus of the campaign. 60’s New Wave done the Prada way. (source: FY!)
