CHANEL MADEMOISELLE 2011 BAG COLLECTION EMBODIES TIMELESS ELEGANCE

I doubt there is a girl who wouldn’t want to have a Chanel bag in her collection, especially if it is a Mademoiselle bag inspired and promoted by Blake Lively, the hot Gossip Girl star. Karl Lagerfeld seems to be fully charmed by the girl and the collection he has created for the Spring/ Summer 2011 season looks absolutely amazing. It literally embodies timeless elegance of the iconic brand and delicate beauty and sexiness of the blonde who represents it.

ALEXANDER MCQUEEN'S SCARVES

Alexander McQueen’s scarves have always been popular with celebrities and fashionistas who could afford those. The secret of such success is not only in the name of the iconic brand but in the high quality and designs which make you think about life in a different way. The new collection of Alexander McQueen scarves God Save McQueen has been designed by the new creative director of the brand Sarah Burton who tries to use the same idea as the her great predecessor but brings some softness which we have never seen in Lee McQueen’s collection.

FENDI FALL 2011 PREVIEW : ABIT OF A THROWBACK

While paging through the handbags from Fendi Fall 2011, I kept waiting for the brand’s trump card. For the bag that would pull the whole thing together and make me sit up and pay attention. And while there are some very attractive options from the collection, unfortunately that bag never came. Perhaps after Spring 2011′s stellar lineup of Fendi accessories, I was expecting too much.

Fall continues some of the biggest hits from that line, including the ladylike multicolor satchels with crocodile flaps, and it also introduces several more multicolor options in the form of slouchy totes and shoulder bags with elongated straps. Some of these asymmetrically shaded designs work better than others, and I hope to see them hit retail in bright combinations as well as the neutrals seen here. For now, my collection winner in the blue patent shoulder bag that you see above.

GUCCI GOES GREEN WITH ITS NEW RANGE OF ECO-SUNGLASSES

LOUIS VUITTON DISPLAY ATTACTS ATTENTION WITH GOLDEN HONEY AND BEES

 Everyone loves Louis Vuitton – who doesn’t? And the brand has reasons to be admired by billions around the world because it is always surprising its fans. This little stunt at the South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California, for instance. Customers flocking into this complex were awe struck with the kind of thought, creativity and brilliance of its theme. Dripping golden honey bursts with golden bees and the Louis Vuitton logo like sun rays. The display featured a product with this set-up around it as though it glowed, quite literally! Bags, scarves, belts – you name it! It attracted mall-goers like bees to honey. Oh well, that was the point!

VALENTINO'S GLAM TOTE SHIMMERS IN FLORAL

Looks like floral trends in fashion is not going anywhere, any place soon. We have seen it on possibly everything from headbands to handbags. In keeping up with this trend, is Valentino’s Glam tote. Made of sand napa leather, this chic tote has silver color hardware and has been “glammed” up to the maximum. Valentino design’s philosophy of feminine elegance is thoroughly visible, as the tote is completely adorned with small flowers and large sequined roses with bead details. Even though it’s made in Italy, you don’t have to travel all the way there. You can find it at Neiman Marcus for just $3,595.

LARGEST LOUIS VUITTON BAG WILL BE PULLED DOWN IN SHANGHAI

Now you see it…now you don’t! Ok I am not pulling a Chris Angel on you, I am just talking about an advertising hoarding that went horribly wrong for Louis Vuitton at their Shanghai store. They decided to put up a huge, life-size Louis Vuitton bag that decorated the main facade of the store, and hid the renovation that is going on behind. The 20 meters high and 4 meters wide monogram canvas style however was asked to be demolished. Why, you ask? Shanghai laws believe otherwise as they have directed the structure to be pulled down. Advertisement hoardings in the city cannot exceed the 9 meter length and half meter thickness barrier. Being a hazard to pedestrians who take the sidewalk, the move will happen very soon. Oh well, it sure was soothing to the eyes. Too bad we have to see it go.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE POWER RESERVE

Putting the power reserve display on the back of the watch is nothing new. Incorporating the display into the movement has also been done. Incorporating the power reserve display onto the winding rotor, on the other hand, is a patented world first. Let’s see how Blancpain’s newest L-Evolution Tourbillon makes this technical leap.

BOTTEGA VENETA HANDBAGS

Bottega Veneta handbags were created by eponymous Italian fashion house in 1966 in Vicenza. They are light, soft, perfect cut, noble not bright colors.
