Happy Birthday! In Milan Dolce & Gabbana’s men’s fashion was its 20th anniversary of their first men’s collection with a significant retrospective and staged two impressive, and cleverly contrasting, runway shows.

It started with the soundtrack, which replaced the usual rampant disco with Annie Lennox, singing alone at her piano. The audience kept cheering at the appearance of Tony Ward, who starred in Dolce & Gabbana’s first men’s campaign 20 years ago. The collection itself refreshed the house’s classic signatures, primarily Sicily, where Dolce learned his formidable tailoring skills. Those were on display here in an elegant three-piece suit in white linen, as sported by the lord of the manor, and in a softly structured black version that his tenant farmers might wear with a white shirt for Sunday best. Blousons in leather mesh or perforated suede highlighted the label’s craftsmanship. And the trademark Dolce sensuality was present in tank tops, slouchy knits, and distressed jeans loosely belted with rope; all boasted the kind of seductive attitude—indolent, up for it—that has helped these designers build a billion-dollar business.

Contrasted with that were sharply defined pieces like the black-and-white-striped knit polos with matching shorts, and the familiar march past of several dozen tuxedo variants. After that, the boys gathered around the piano for a final sing-along with Annie, and the curtain came down on her last celebratory whoop. The audience couldn’t have agreed more.

We traditionally ignore the power of time until something blows our mind away. We’ve been amazed by the bossy old version of Cyndi Lauper in Celebrity Apprentice. So, it is not so surprised by a sophisticated Selma Blair with a Marc Jacobs Kate Lock Hobo. Anyway, she has passed the time of the young and playful style for a long time.

Compared with the forever-glaring Prada bag, Marc Jacobs handbags looks a bit of understated. But the simplicity is also a huge advantage for a useful carryall, Everybody needs a reliable companion rather than a group of chit playmates. The black shade is easy to be matched with other outfits adding extra luxury on the whole ensembles. The large size can take most of your daily essentials without effort.

This Marc Jacobs bag adopts traditional design with golden hardware and studs all over the totality. There is a padlock detail with signature on the front separating it from those psuedo-brands on the marketing. Studs and a long zipper are equipped on both sides which gives it a tough but chit touch. It is a match made in heaven with Selma Blair’s style.

No every girl can be Selma Blair, but we can have our own rocky yet elegant look with a  Marc Jacobs Kate Lock Hobo. More replica handbags.

With the special Disney movie release for Alice in Wonderland, only weeks away. I am coming to realize that we are going to see more off-the-wall creations from top designers with their own spin to character wardrobe. A few weeks ago were able to preview the shoes sketches from Nicholas Kirkwood’s of an unconventional design inspired by character, March Hare from Alice in Wonderland. We are now looking at the final product by the shoe designer which is specially crafted for Printemps store and windows. Nicholas Kirkwood is joined by designers Ann Demeulemeester, Alexander McQueen, Bernhard Willhelm, Charles Anastase, Christopher Kane, Chloé, Haider Ackermann, Manish Arora, and Maison Martin Margiela in projecting their special piece inspired by Alice and her friends. Printemps is dedicating its windows to Wonderlandiana.

Just as Nicholas Kirkwood said, I think my favorite Alice character is the March Hare. You can see I’ve made his watch rather prominent. This was a different design process for me, because I’m not usually so applicative—typically, I’m thinking about line, silhouette. But this time, I figured, why not just pile as much as I can on top?

I wish this magic piece would bring you more inspiration from that wonderful movie. If you are hesitant by the hefty price tags on authentic luxury shoes, a cheap replica designer piece is a great alternative.

For the behind-the-scenes look at the Louis Vuitton workshop, check it out after the jump. As for the other features, visit The Journey of a Wardrobe.
WORKSHOP
The Asnières workshop is unquestionably the nerve centre of Louis Vuitton. For more than a century, from 1859 until 1977, it was the company’s sole production facility, before growing demand from new markets and for new products meant that additional workshops had to be brought on stream. Asnières remains, however, very much the living symbol of Louis Vuitton’s unique combination of tradition and innovation. It is at Asnières that all the company’s hard-frame luggage continues to be made, as well as special orders, exotic leather bags and limited-edition bags for the fashion shows.

The Asnières workshop was itself a response to burgeoning demand when, just four years after the company was founded, the spectacular success of the Vuitton flat trunk forced Louis Vuitton to look beyond his original workshop in central Paris. With considerable foresight, he decided to move production out of the city to Asnières. The quiet rural town was yet to be made famous by the Impressionists, but was strategically situated both on the banks of the Seine – the poplar wood for the trunks arrived by barge from the nearby Oise valley – and on the railway line to Paris Saint- Lazare. Reflecting Louis Vuitton’s keen personal interest in all aspects of technological progress, the architecture of the new workshop was inspired by the groundbreaking use of glass and metal then being pioneered by Victor Baltard and Gustave Eiffel. It maximized the supply of natural light to provide the best possible conditions for precision craftsmanship.

The Asnières workshop reopened in January 2005 after extensive renovation lasting a year. Architect Gilles Carnoy sympathetically extended the historic exterior and thoroughly modernized the interior, seamlessly integrating state-of-the-art lighting, electricity, air-conditioning and compressed air systems for sewing machines, and designing a new layout for workstations geared to comfort and flexibility. The renovation added an extra level and 1,000-sq-m of space to the workshop, enabling poplar, beech and okoume wood for hard luggage, as well as canvas and leather to be stored on site, the latter in specially controlled conditions of temperature and humidity. All materials are meticulously checked on arrival and again before use.

Though their working environment has evolved beyond recognition, most of the tools and techniques used by the 185 craftsmen at Asnières remain virtually unchanged since the beginning. Another aspect of continuity is the time-honoured practice by which the workshop’s master craftsmen train their apprentices in the skills they need, ensuring that Asnières’ proud tradition of creativity and craftsmanship is constantly renewed.

If you are hesitant by the hefty price tags on authentic Louis Vuitton Product, a cheap replica louis vuitton is a great alternative.

We know that Christina Aguilera indeed has that different kind of fashion taste (though not as eccentric as that of Lady Gaga’s). Sometimes she can dress just as normal, but there are times when she dresses too loud or too rocking just like what you see on this latest paparazzi photo of her.

Indeed, Christina Aguilera has gone through a punk rock makeover as she is clad in her denim cutoffs over black leggings, red peep toe pumps, striped black and white tee, and a black biker jacket. Now if you thought she’d finish her getup with a handbag from a brand who’s known for its rocking designs, well surprisingly, she finished it all off with chanel handbags.

We’ve known Chanel for its classic and naturally luxurious designer handbags, but who could’ve thought that they also have pieces that are made to anchor a rocking ensemble (or so we thought). Christina Aguilera’s Chanel bag isn’t the classic quilted bag anyway; instead, it comes from smooth black leather material, and what made it look so tough, edgy and rocking is the double C logo on the front, which is actually patterned from stud-like hardware. And of course, the bag has the usual chain and leather strap to hold.

Now this is what we can call a glamorous and luxurious punk rock ensemble.Enjoy a taste of being celebrity with cheap fake handbags
