Not moving to Dior ‘was probably best for everyone’ according to Marc Jacobs.
It is set to be a big year for Louis Vuitton. A major exhibition opens on March 9 at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, called simply ‘Louis Vuitton – Marc Jacobs’, spread over two floors, each one devoted to the life and work of each man.
“It’s a really great honour,’ Jacobs told the Telegraph . “It’s going to be a super animated, really great exhibition. I’m really proud of everyone here, proud for everyone here. As a New Yorker, I love Paris and I never in my wildest dreams as a teenager dreamed I would have a job working for this big luxury company. Now 15 years on, there is this thing at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs at the Louvre – it is really beyond my wildest dreams. It makes me very emotional – in a good way.”

The most stylish little blue creature, Smurfette is exploring her horizon. Next to the Smurf movie that will hit theaters this summer she model the season’s best accessories exclusively for Harper’s Bazaar.

Among others, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Christian Louboutin and Vivienne Westwood designed a Tarot card.

The ancient Tarot card game, which originated in the fifteenth century, is revived. In New York there is currently an exhibition on this card game. 78 artists have participated in this exhibition. Among the artists are fashion designers including Marc Jacobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Christian Louboutin and Vivienne Westwood, but also a photographer Terry Richardson. Each artist designed his own Tarot card. This resulted in a collection of original maps.

For example to take Christian Louboutin. He designed a Nine of Cups-card, which stands for self-indulgence and power. Those themes, he expressed to image a naked woman smoking and drinking and playing with her high heels.

At New York Fashion Week, bright orange lipstick literally popped off the runway. Paired with everything from minimalistic blacks to jolly floral prints, it made a statement that was fun, flirty and fresh, and it’s a trend you can easily wear this fall to be ahead of the fashion curve.

We saw this citrus trend at twelve different shows. While the tangerine shade does follow, spring’s hottest hue has the added plus of emphasizing your eye color and the highlights in your hair.

We asked Shiseido Makeup Artistic Director Dick Page, who created the brilliant orange lip for the Marc by Marc Jacobs and Isaac Mizrahi shows, how one unique shade can end up dominating the runways.

The credit crunch has a big influence on the fashion world. Fashion brands how already had problems most close there doors. Even the big names are keeping there money safe, they don’t spend to muts on there campaign they even cancelled the big show on the New York Fashion Week. Instead they give there private show for there clients or show there collection on the internet.
Names as Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang, Anna Sui, Valentino, Betsey Johnson don’t show there collection on the catwalk shows. And more will folow.

But the main question is will the credit crunch kill the Fashion Week?

Victoria Beckham heeft haarzelf getransformeerd van een designer van zonnebrillen en jeans in 2006 tot een fashion designer van women dresses in 2008. Ondanks de krediet crisis vliegt haar collectie als warme broodjes uit de winkels, in Manchester en nu zelfs in Londen zijn haar jurken uitverkocht.

Ze is nu zelfs net zo populair of misschien zelfs populairder dan Mouret en Givenchy. Haar jurken zijn simpel en herkenbaar: body-skimming cocktail shape, getailleerd, lengte tot net beneden de knie. Terwijl haar *wag-style was gekarakteriseerd door grote brillen en een typische voetballers vrouwen kleding, is haar huidige style meer volwassen.
