Even though it's half two in the morning when I'm typing this, the Dries Van Noten website still reads: "This movie will be available the day after the show". Which makes me sad because I usually enjoy his location and music choices as much as the clothes. The SS11 collection showed the designer's reinterpretation of street style described as "80's Brooklyn meets Brussels". I, however, see more of a very chic version of a skin head that wears hand-me-downs from his dad's teddy-boy past. Dries mixed his beautiful tailoring with bleached denim, t-shirts and military boots in such a cool and contemporary way you'd think he spends his spare hanging out in Tribeca.
I don't think I ever fully understood a woman's passion for bags until today when I went through the Louis Vuitton collection. I have never wanted a bag as much as I now want that green LV at the top. And this is not surprising because I am a man and it is a bag but because it is Vuitton. I have never been the biggest fan even though I do own a couple of items but there is something about having the classic LV square pattern in bright nylon that is irresistible. I was also very impressed by the clothes, which I usually don't like at all at LV. I'd like to think Paul Helbers had more to do with this success than Marc himself, as I have odd feelings toward the man. In any case, Vuitton really refocused its game with a collection that feels cool and cosmopolitan and that will appeal to a range of ages.
I'm off.
PS. How cool are the LV tattoos? Is that becoming a trend?

It seems that the designers tattoos are becoming a big trend. Not sure how long it'll last, but I like it. I love images from the LV show, and the pops of color here and there.
