LV X CdG...

another collaboration...

this time is Comme des Garcons X Louis Vuitton and thank God it's a one off collaboration. No offense. I loved CdG designs but this one got to be ----.

The pieces are very limited, very hoohah until ...wait let me just copy & paste...(dun want to get it wrong bah ya)

with the kawaii charm...

"The bags will only be available upon order, which is only to be placed at the “Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons store”. No telephone or Internet orders will be taken. In return, customers will receive a certificate inside a special card holder in Louis Vuitton’s traditional natural leather, embossed with the Louis Vuitton at Comme des Garçons signature. Only several months later will their bag be delivered to their chosen Louis Vuitton store."

dun play play... got certificate somemore leh.

if quirky is your taste and u want to parade a 'special' LoV bag then...
how many handles do u need for a small speedy?
or just bida. (fugly)

read more abt the story or the birth of such bida collaboration here. ooo...there are 3 more exclusives, too bida even to post here. So next time if someone comes back from Bangkok or China, carrying a 'special' edition bag, dun snub them cos u never know, they could be ----.

my thought is this: If it ain't broken, dun be a smart arse to fix it. Reinventing the wheel if executed well, it's great. If not, it just look silly...or simply outrageous and not in a good way.

Protect the skin you're In...

um
everyone knows my feeling for one particular designer, Mr M Jacobs & his designs.

having said that i got to give credit where its due.

One good thing from his work is: Protect the skin you're In/Protect your Largest Organ...where he got a bunch of celebrities to get naked, printed them on tees for sale and proceed got to charity.

and i got to say, bunch of female & male celebrities are all willing to pose. no kidding.

you've or may have seen them before...
becks wearing his 'vicky' one. (pic)

Me want one of those tees but moi prefer the one with the gorgeous DITA VON TEESE.

Go to MJ website to see ALL the celebrities involved or stripped naked. The thing is u can get the tees in the US of A. and in MJ store ONLY. arghh! So for people like me, living on the other side of the world, how?

lucky for moi, my bestest friend, sherry went few weeks ago and i got her to grab me & Z one each. Thank you so much dear. Thank you so much (from Z).

It took a while to get to me, nonetheless it did and here is me showing off wearing my fabulous Dita over the weekend.

ps. Tao got himself a Heidi Klum while Z got himself a Naomi. ALL of them are gorgeous, i tell you. happy now, S. ;)

Have a NICE WEEKEND... cos mine will be a tiring but hopefully fun one. ;o

update
with the approval from Mr T.

check out Heidi 'one day u in, next day u out' Klum

i read...

How great is it to have an entire collection named after you? huh? scarlet, wat say you?

and that designer is Marc Jacobs. (ok, i'm not so into his stuff-as i said previously and those who knows me)

and that person is often imitated-never duplicated blogger Bryan Boy.

I read BB's blog on/off months back and hopped into it yesterday and read all about this.

Imagine not only he got a prototype of the bag, became BFF and got the bag named after him. wow! ok, whether the bag nice o not nice is another thing here, cos like i say personally i'm not a MJ person.

but my lord, now not just a bag or piece of leather hor. An entire collection.

He even went as far as doing an advert campaign for the bag himself

ala MJ style haha...brilliant.Vicky - eat ur heart out!

ooo...that's the featured bag in the advert. green ostrich leather. betcha J'z greening now.

pics from bb's site.

Just wonder when will i ever get that chance. any designer? *ahem mr ford ahem* ;) *wishing

Naomi Vs Linda...

There are models and there are supermodels of our time. Over the years, in my opinion, the term supermodel is abused and over-stretched just like divas or celebrities. Not everyone had their photo taken is a model ok! Just like not everyone ended up on TV for 5 minutes instantly becomes a celebrity.

I remember back in the 90s, there were only a handful of real/true SUPERMODEL that changes or define fashion. Some continued to model & do the odd catwalk while some went to do other stuffs.

Now 2 big fashion house is bringing 2 of them back for their coming fall campaign. check them out. (source)

Naomi Campbell for YSL
Linda "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day" Evangelista for Prada.

HAVE A NICE WEEKEND...

chanel anyone?

Double C's lovers... hot cakes or cold buns? u decide...

Uncle Karl does fishing...

For a mere £9,170 the ponciest angler on the planet can kit himself out with a Chanel rod and a set of meticulously tied, monochrome Chanel flies, complete with the famous "double C" logo on the gossamer wings, presented in a rather fetching, quilted black leather box.

Uncle Karl does cycling...
Don't play play, limited-edition quilted bike for their Sport Collection last fall. It comes with a signature-quilted bike bag on the rear (bargain?) and a mega-comfy seat for easy riding. At $12,000 it's pricey, but it's Chanel, people.

Uncle Karl does sports (pic)...


yup, even tennis racket comes with the chanel flower yes, yes, it's camellia (as pointed by agar-agar previously).

Music Tuesday: Madonna's Give it to me

4 minutes was so-so as i said previously, so when i got the album few weeks ago and started playing it in the zoom zoom; Give it to me is the ONLY, if not the best track in it and it's also my favourite. So much so hoping/wishing it to be the next single.

Indeed, Give it to me is the 2nd single of Hard Candy. yeah! Give it to me ...yeah!

the video is not groundbreaking by Madonna video standard, just her prancing posing doing photoshoot singing along type - with abit of HungUp, a bit of Hollywood; nonetheless it's a great track. So start counting how many Madonna's outfit in the video and Dance: to the left, to the right, to the left left, right right...


Plus u get to see Pharell dragging his purple vintage Hermes Haut a Courroies. I am not a big Hermes fans but this one i LIKE & if i can afford it, I WANT! Gorgeous. Am sure cost an arm and a leg. Did a little background check: this bag is made way before Birkin and it's a great size for everything. Yup! apparently the purple bag had been doing a few cameos.

Where can i get Pharell's sunnies? who's the designer? any one? Being looking for one of these huge wayfarer-inspired sunnies. I searched hi-lo for it but still no idea. Arghhh! anyone?

update 050608: the video is taken off Utube cos it's not 'officially' released. so till then lah. ooo, besides the above track i like, there are a couple more tracks i recommend: She's not me (Hoping to the 3rd single), Hard Candy and Miles Away. Check them out too.

LV...

like we need another reason to buy LV, yup! Louis Vuitton's lovers, check this out if you dun already know.

Or shld i say, mahjong addicts lovers, check this out.

As previously posted, Gucci released this red mahjong set with the embossed logo. well, now Mr Vuitton is selling their own version too. The newly opened flagship store in HK - which is also the largest LV building in Asia Pacific & outside le Paris.

wah...So to commemorate such an event, (*cashing in*), they have limited exclusive items for us, yup! Asians - specifically Chinese!

the items ranges from diamond watches to shoes, metallic mirrored bags to embroidered dresses. *yawn* on the other hand...feast your eyes on these.

mahjong set...actually red alligator mahjong set. alligator leh...dun play play
and look at the compartments... yummmmmm.
they really know how to sell huh...red some more...now my eyes are 'red' i tell you. just imagine you bring this sexy baby out. just look at your other 'kaki' faces! however, dunno how much it is retailing at. So HK friends, let me know.

But i'm pretty sure this one will cost a 'bomb'. How many 'touch my body' chi-mo, do i need to get this? maybe i can get my wawa one of this. hehe!

'fraid not. this ppl at LoV really know how to sell and target their market. If the alligator mahjong set is out of reach, why not get yourself this mahjong tiles 'charms' key ring or 'anywhere you want to hook' ring?

comes in 18K gold

or silver. hong chong, fa chai, and pai pan (mirror)

Interested to buy me any of the above, the new LV store is located at 5 Canton Road, Tsim Shatsui, HK. All you then got to do is mail me as a 'surprise'. ;)

ps. most of the limited edition shoes/sunnies have the word '5, canton road' tagged.

pps. ooo they have Gold Leather Shoes (limited to 12 in the world) @ HK$7,200, Black Damier gold trunks tee, HK$2,750; Gold lurex jeans, HK$6,300, (all above) and Damier Swimming Trunks retailing @ HK$2,950.

now for a bit of fashion news...they may not be the latest but i thought i share them with you guys & dolls...

we have the normal evian bottles, we've seen the kylie evian bottle, we even seen the annually released limited serial-number bottles. But now... we have designer bottled ones..the Christian Lacroix (haute couture) edition. yup! couture ya! just look at the shape of the bottle- fit for a queen, i say. and also the pret-a-porter version. If you are asking, the latter selling at $6 a bottle. (pic) but isn't water just water?

staying with the french...and onto the runway. It's fashion week and every designer is trying their best to put on their best runway show. From Galliano to McQueen, but no one can beat our Uncle Karl. The other 2 are all for the weird extravaganza show, but who can do it like the black suit supppppper high collar-ed Uncle Karl, ...classy, pure and chanel...

check it out: need i say more...S/S '08 couture show

Gucci for Chinese ???

yesterday i posted about the real/fake prada store, but what have we got here today. I cannot believe myself what i saw after hopping to one of my dailies, Man's Bag.

Gucci decided to cash-in contribute on the 2008 Beijing Olympics. yup! they created a special one-off, limited pieces, simply titled 8-8-2008 Limited Edition; and they dun come cheap, i tell you. Guess how many pieces? EIGHT! the chinese just gonna loved them.

What else chinese love? its a given fact: RED, and wah lah...may i present you...

great for the coming CNY? $ 1,415 I-Gucci watch, the company's first digital timepieceeven the panda got gucci-tagged!

and wat else chinese love? ooo...MAHJONG!!!! (ok ok...i dun mind owning this one!!!)

a $3,150 Mahjong set covered in red La Pelle Guccissima leather (why not)... :)

however i think the pièce de résistance should be this: a $3,420 bicycle with bold red double GG leather details

can u imagine the proud mainland chinese cycling in one of this? or Leon Lai cycling it with Maggie Cheung at the back seat in Tian Mi Mi. hmm...not!!!

so all eager gucci lovers, all these items will be exclusive to Gucci boutiques in China, Hong Kong, and Macau. so hurry! i bet some of them will be sold out soon...knowing how they loooove their designer stuffs plus these comes with 'sentimental value'. ka-ching. (all pics)

ps. i cant wait to see the advertorial for these...as according to report, chinese actor- Huang Xiao Ming will be featured. (will post when i see them)

pps. anyway wants any bidarlah limited merchandises?

designer skins...

as posted previously, i said there will be some skin for my upcoming post. here u goes...

what is up with the designers today huh? Male designers...

seriously, they cant wait to show us their birthday suit or well, artistically lah.

previously i posted Tom Ford, who stripped off for W, well...he did it again, he just can't help himself, can he? but I for one, i'm sure some of you, ain't complaining.

So here is his latest for Out Magazine.

having a bit of fun huh...(pics)

By the way, Mr Ford is 45 years old and still looking FINE...like a piece of prime steak.

We too have Mr Gabanna previously in his suave body and in a tiny swim trunk.

then we have Mr MJ...thank god! it's not Michael Jackson, but it's Marc Jacobs. Still the question is why? ok ok, he got toned down, he chopped off his hair, he look (much) easier on the eyes now compared to last time, but do we need to see him sitting on his BIG chair naked. NO NO NO!

I dun even want to post his pic here, if you guys & dolls want to see, google yourself. Nothing against him cause i don't know him personally. I just find him overrated period, so does Bono.

Who next? Michael Kors, NO!, Calvin Klein NOOOO!, or

Imagine...Uncle Karl? NO NO NO NO! that would be an image i tell you. He is super talented but...still No...(pic)

as for female designers...hmm...Vivienne Westwood? Anna Sui? Donna Karan? or Miuccia Prada? hmm...i think i pass...

RC for H&M

fashionalistas: highlight 8th November in your diary. what the hos & the has?

why? I just found out, we are having another collaboration in the fashion world. The Swedes really do know how to pick their designers. yup! It's Bidarlah. haha! Dream on!

Previously H&M got Uncle Karl, then Maddie, now it's Roberto Cavalli: The father of animal print! yup! those sexy leopard print number and those mix of prints and colors.

He will be producing menswear, womenswear, lingerie and matching accessories and judging from his own collections, dun expect anything 'tamed' (*no pun intended).

According to H&M's head designer Margareta van den Bosch hinted that the collection would be different to previous collaborations: "There is no place for shyness and no possibility of ending up with a mainstream wardrobe of everyday basics. The Roberto Cavalli collections represents an exuberant, successful lifestyle".

So the chance of getting hold of zebra or leopard or giraffe print bras & undies, neon trim, ruffles and dress slit up to your 'muffin' are pretty high. And best of all, ALL at a budget price. Brilliant! Christmas (party) will be fun. (pic)

check out the interview here.

preview of the upcoming collection. (*shh!)

men collection hmm...cumin' soon. (for those keep on asking me abt the safari pics-this is all you get hehe!)

not a plastic bag again...

I just found out. They are back. Love them or loathe them or simply sour grape?

Yes! those 'i'm not a plastic bag' bag is back with different colors: blue, green or charcoal grey, accordingly to this site from June 20th. hmm...unfortunately, to keep this batch exclusive, Hindmarch have ensured that only a random selection of fashionistas will get hold of them. So if you have not already signed up to her newsletter, you will not be eligible to buy one.

Another bummer is even if you have the privilege of buying one of them, you won't get to pick your colour preference.

How much you asked? £21.78 (inc p&p and VAT) ooo...you do get a free book.

So Sinfully D & Scarlot, are u ladies on their list?

for Him & Her

let's start the week with some fashion talk.

for her:
after Madonna, Kate, now we have SJP's latest work- not SATC the movie but her own clothing line - BITTEN. She collaborated with Steve & Barry’s and the collection aims to offer high-quality, affordably priced clothes for women of all ages and sizes. So dun expect couture pieces, like wat Carrie wore. (pic)

She is wearing her own designed crop jeans for the event. Unfortunately, you can only get them exclusively in Steve & Barry's, all the way in the US of A.

Said Parker, “Women should be able to wear great clothes and not lie in bed at night feeling guilty about how much money they’ve spent. High quality, luxurious clothes do not need to cost as much as we’ve been led to think.” (1)

for him:

Tom Ford is back and he is staying.

Few weeks back he opened his very first TOM FORD store in NYC and last week he flew into UK - Harvey Nic to launch his fragrance - Private Blend.

fact: there are 12 different scents in total. Unfortunately, with all the techonology advancement, you can hear and read all the latest goss on the internet but not smell. So i cant tell you wat's it like. But for 250 quid each, it's crazy! So Sherry, let me know wat's it like, when you pop over to HN? or where you there last weekend?

guess wat happened at the interview doing the launch. "Can you interview me from the left? I have a better side, I'm a very vain man," TF told Vogue. Nice one! (pic)
