Louis Vuitton traveler collection

The fashion house Louis Vuitton has joined forces with the duo Barber Osgerby and other designers to create a travel collection of objects as part of Objets Nomades. Barber Osgerby known for his work on the design of the Olympic torch. Objets Nomades became a kind of collaboration between 11 European designers working in modern technology. The European premiere of the traveler collection took place in dec 2012. Installation of the resulting interior can already see in the New Bond Street Maison store, owned by brand.

"We are happy to work with Louis Vuitton, the brand that has a rich history" - admitted Jay Osgerbi. - Cooperation with LV - is a great opportunity to bring something new to the design of the objects with which we travel."

The Objets Nomades project  made each designer to create decorative items that you can take with you on a trip or a journey. Barber Osgerby decided to revise the design and created a classic lantern lamp of Venetian glass, and they used modern technology, which the lamp can operate on solar power.

Chanels Scottish Mania

Until recently, the “cruise collections” were still seen as fashion appetizers within the greater fashion calendar. Well, things have changed greatly in the past few years, and people today are dressing more overtly according to their lifestyles than to the dictates of the seasonal calendar.

Enter “Pre-Fall.” In the past few fashion cycles, the Pre-Fall collections, just like the Pre-Spring ones, are becoming full-blown lineups rivaling the official ones. None other than Chanel can bring a seemingly minor collection and deliver what was likely the fashion highlight of December 2012.

Chanel’s Paris-Edinbourg Métiers d’Art Pre-Fall 2013 collection is redefining the Cruise Collection concept and blatantly blurring prêt-à-porter and couture. This collection will undoubtedly influence the upcoming Fall 2012-Winter 2013 collections in New York (we expect to see references at Ralph Lauren), as well as the European calendar habitués, and will surely trickle down to Street Styles.

For Paris-Edinbourg Métiers d’Art, Karl Lagerfeld took around 400 revelers to Linlithgow Palace, in Scotland, and delivered a masterpiece of contemporary history drenched in Scottish references and regalia, while masterfully maintaining its pure Chanel identity down to drop pearls.

From billowy sleeves and puffed shoulders to overlapping tartans to accessory references like ghillie and sporran getting the Chanel redo, the Scottomania collection looked at Tudor and Elizabethan portraiture and adornment to deliver a brilliant and influential fashion masterpiece.

Which brings us to a paralleling influential fashion movement, though this one takes the formula to the Streets, or more appropriately brings  “Urban Style” to the upcoming London Fashion Weekpodiums.

If Urban Fashion Week founder Billy D. Foster, known as Billy Bad Ass, has his way, February 2013 will have Urban Style all over London Fashion Week. Will highbrow designers cipher some of this subversive influence in their next collection? Of course they will… in fashion nothing is sacred!
