Season Buy| LOUIS VUITTON 100 POSTCARDS
A unique limited collector’s edition box of 100 postcards adorned with Toledo’s vibrant illustrations capturing the essence of various cities.
It is a marriage of art and fashion since 1984 when two highly talented individuals couples meet. Cuban-born Isabel is a renowned fashion designer. Her creations are often seen on the First Lady Michelle Obama. Ruben Toledo, his surreal view of life brings humor and unconventionality to his fashion illustrations that have appeared in magazines such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue, Paper, Visionaire and the New York Times. His work has adorned many book covers and his sketches have been an integral part of the Louis Vuitton’s city guides for year.
Available at Louis Vuitton stores or at Colette for €80.- ($115.-).
Where What When | I WANT LANVIN... NOT FLOWERS
I want Lanvin... not flowers - h&m collaborated with another house of haute couture.
“What does luxury mean today? Can luxury be exclusive and democratic at the same time? How can we translate the essence of luxury to a wider audience? The world around us is changing rapidly and I find myself asking these questions more and more. Designer’s work is usually tailored to a very small group of people, but the collection for H&M was about trying to translate the dream of luxury to the masses. It was almost like going back to school for me.”
Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin. Well done, Mr Elbaz!
