CHANEL New Bouton de Camélia Fine Jewellery Collection

CHANEL New Bouton de Camélia 
Fine Jewellery Collection 
"Camélia précieux" open ring in white gold set with a pear-cut diamond and 31 diamonds. The camellia, the flower of both dandies and courtesans, appealed to Mademoiselle’s taste for provocation because of its reference as the forbidden flower which is both androgynous and ambiguous. By adopting it, she affirmed her singularity, transgressing all conventional codes of seduction.  A symbolic revolution which contributed to the emancipation of women.

Louis Vuitton x Alicia Vikander Cruise 2018 The Spirit Of Travel Advertising Campaign


Louis Vuitton x Alicia Vikander 
Cruise 2018 Advertising Campaign
After a full immersion into a veritable ocean of verdure with the Cruise 2018 fashion show in Kyoto, Japan, Louis Vuitton makes a stop for its cruise advertising campaign in Ibiza, offering a décor between sky and sea.


The quest for freedom and adventure in the world’s far corners is the spirit of travel at Louis Vuitton. Accordingly, the house has selected actress Alicia Vikander to embody the Louis Vuitton woman.


At the heroine’s side are Louis Vuitton’s Twist and Capucines handbags. Capucines, with its discreet elegance, is emblematic of the House and its craftmanship, whereas Twist is one of the new classics dreamed up and designed by Nicolas Ghesquière.


Riding along with this venturesome actress is the spirit of pioneering designer Kansai Yamamoto. Toast of the Cruise collection, Yamamoto continues his quest for pure serenity.


To capture the campaign’s images with that spectacular landscape between sea and sky Louis Vuitton have sought out the skillful lens of photographer Patrick Demarchelier.

VALENTINO AW2017/18 Men Collection

 VALENTINO AW2017/18 Men Collection is about Subtle disruption. Gentle distortion. Defining a man through what he wears and how he wears it. Gentleman. Or rather: gentle, man.


 Charm as a distinctive sign. Spontaneity that ignores the rules, without struggle.


Observing classicality through the lens of visceral expression, profound essence is captured and altered, as in a painting by Francis Bacon. With a glitch.


Casentino fabric, checkered wools, leather, patent leather: the alphabet. Ratifying outerwear, the small pullover, the shirt with plastrons: the vocabulary.


The slim bowtie, the technical sneakers, the cap: the punctuation. Free and personal compositions.


Decisive gestures misalign familiar shapes. Unbalanced volumes.


Details out of place. Acrylic and graceless colors. Jamie Reid’s slogans and punk lettering within Couture intarsia. The absolute synthesis maintains truth and authenticity, without reverences.


Gentle individuality that sprouts from the not thinking exceedingly to what one wears. Instinctively.


GIVENCHY AW2017 Collection


For the AW2017 Collection, the Givenchy studio has decided to revisit its legacy and its DNA.


The collection reinterprets the iconic silhouettes of its last twelve years in one color: the Givenchy red.


Prints (animal motifs or borrowed from religious iconography), embroideries, lace, materials with a Gothic, romantic, couture or street wear essence.


The 27 women’s silhouettes are entirely clad in this luminous shade that embodies the Givenchy spirit.


Conceived as a synthesis of the essential Givenchy pieces, the AW2017 Collection reworks elements that represent the brand's wardrobe in its entirety.


From the precise tailoring to the embroidered evening dress, the iconic sweatshirt and the day wear fur pieces.


Additionally, each look has a vintage label that indicates the original season of the revisited look: like a collector's set.


The collection will also be available in black and skin, two other signature colors of the brand.
