Stuart Weitzman Platform Pumps

I just LOVE LOVE Stewies but I HATE that some pumps are only available in some colours at some boutiques. For example, I just love these grey pumps and the buckle detail is divine but these are only available at Saks Fifth Avenue. I have also been eyeing a pair of silver blue pumps at Holt Renfrew (searching all over, online and other shoe boutiques) but they do not have my size. I need to go there weekly or I need to find a SA that can call or email me when new SWs are in! I am always missing out on my size cos there are only 1 or 2 available in each size.

Ultrafeminine leather with petite strap at the point toe.

SUPERFLAT - The New Odyssey

SUPERFLAT

Damier Graphite Canvas

I really love this graphite canvas and sad to see there is nothing available for women in this print. But I guess I shouldn't complain too much since LV's line is mainly directed to women. I've looked through the men's collections are it's very limited in accessories or man bags but a good selection of brief cases and luggage. I am looking for a casual over the body bag for traveling or running to the market and I love this bag! I think I will have to look at it in person but so far (from the website), I am loving the pattern and the simplicity of the design.

We Love Stephen Sprouse

Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton will be releasing a tribute collection for his dear friend, Stephen Sprouse. There are quite a few limited edition pieces and will be released sometime this year. If you do see them in your Louis Vuitton boutique, get them while they are available as I'm sure this collection will sell out FAST. I was not a huge fan of the Graffiti line but there are a couple that I wouldn't mind owning in my collection.

From WDD

NEW YORK — Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton are paying homage to Stephen Sprouse.

To show their admiration for the late designer and artist, next month, Jacobs, Vuitton’s creative director, is using his hit 2001 collaboration with Sprouse for a new, limited edition collection of accessories and ready-to-wear. Jacobs even doffed his duds again, posing in the nude painted in Sprouse’s graffiti for Harper’s Bazaar’s January issue.

This comes at a time of renewed buzz about Sprouse, whose graffiti prints and Day-Glo clothes became a defining aesthetic of the early Eighties. It coincides with a retrospective — called “Rock on Mars” — at Deitch Projects’ 18 Wooster Street gallery from Jan. 8 to Feb. 28, and “The Stephen Sprouse Book,” by Roger Padilha and Mauricio Padilha, due out from Rizzoli New York on Feb. 1.

The impetus for the new line came when Deitch approached Jacobs and Vuitton about doing something related to the retrospective.

“I proposed putting together a Vuitton version of the Pop Shop, which was Keith Haring’s concept…not reissuing products that we had done with Stephen, but doing things that were similar or new,” Jacobs said.

Sprouse died in 2004, and the new tribute pieces, which hit Vuitton boutiques worldwide Jan. 9, pick up almost seamlessly where the 2001 collaboration left off.

Jacobs took two iconic Sprouse motifs — the graffiti and the rose — and interpreted them in Day-Glo shades of pink, green and orange over the Monogram print. The motifs are featured on Vuitton’s Keepall, Speedy and Neverfull bag styles, as well as basketball sneaker boots, pumps, sunglasses, headbands and wristbands, and small leather goods like wallets and coin purses. The rtw includes a mackintosh raincoat with a graffiti and monogram lining, graffiti leggings and a long-sleeve neon minidress featuring the rose design.

“I tried to take what Stephen had done at Vuitton and then kind of flip it in my head, and make it Vuitton’s work for Stephen, not Stephen’s work for Vuitton,” Jacobs said. “I just felt it was a funny way to play with it, to pretend to be Sprouse for a bit, and use the work that he did, and then bring it back to the work that he did before I collaborated with him.”

The original collaboration has its origins in the time when Jacobs was looking for a Paris apartment. When he looked at Charlotte Gainsbourg’s space on the rue du Bac, he stumbled across a Vuitton Monogram canvas trunk, which the actress’s legendary father, Serge, had painted over in black. It eventually inspired him to collaborate with Sprouse for spring 2001.

“For me, this monogram graffiti was the first milestone of our permanent reinvention of our history,” said Vuitton president and chief executive officer Yves Carcelle.

The uncompromising, head-to-toe Sprouse aesthetic is timeless, Jacobs noted.

“It almost becomes a classic, like a Chanel jacket, or a smoking,” he said. “It’s this idea of a head-to-toe look in this brash, neon, rock ’n’ roll, edgy, street-informed style. Sprouse really best personified it.”

Vuitton will pay further tribute with a special Web site — welovesprouse.com — slated to go live Dec. 15. It will feature a mix of interviews with people who knew Sprouse, including Debbie Harry, Candy Pratts Price and Patricia Field. In the clips, they muse on their relationship with Sprouse, and his lasting influence on the fashion and art worlds. There will also be a feature called “Scrawl the Wall,” where visitors can post comments, and a special section on Sprouse’s New York, highlighting some of the artist’s favorite haunts in the city.

“The thing that excited us the most is that somebody who disappeared years ago is going to be the center of life worldwide thanks to that for the next few months,” Carcelle said. “We really want to celebrate a friend.”

As for the Harper’s Bazaar story, it was shot by Terry Richardson and features Jacobs naked, his body painted in Sprouse-style graffiti and his relevant portions covered by one of the new Vuitton bags. Richardson also shot racier images of Jacobs completely in the nude, though these will not be featured in the Bazaar story.

“I don’t have a problem taking my clothes off, as anybody who has picked up a magazine in the past year could tell you,” Jacobs said. “I had no qualms or shame about it but knew fully well that any full frontal nudity wouldn’t be appropriate for Harper’s Bazaar.”

Monogram Dentelle

Monogram Dentelle Speedy 30 - eluxury priced at $1420 (also available at the Louis Vuitton stores in Vancouver)

I am not the biggest fan of this line (I really don't like it!) and I don't know why Marc Jacobs designs these ugly seasonal bags. I have no comment other than this excerpt from BagSnob:

Flirty and showing a little of what you have underneath is sexy, if you do it the right away but having a bag that looks like your underwear is the Paris Hilton way of doing it. This LV monogram with 18th century lace and lurex embroidery makes no sense the same way that Britney Spears makes no sense, or that Marc Jacobs still has a job at LV makes no sense. Does this look nice or cute to anyone? At least colorful cartoon flowers with smiley faces were cute, this is just embarrassingly stupid. Combine that with a chunky crackly gold chain for the full effect of a perfect representation of our society today. You take a normal bag, embroider cocaine all over it, show off parts that are suggestive of the hoo-hoo and dangle it with the ostentatious money of stardom and you get the Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Nicole Richie and Mischa Barton of bags. $1750 by special order at LV.
