I’m unsure as to what Marc Jacobs has not gotten his hands on to design now. Hmm maybe Vodka? I know that Roberto Cavalli is the only designer to do that one so far… Anyways, Jacobs just designed this “Hands” skateboard deck with an all-over graphic on one side and his label’s signature on the other. It is exclusively available at Marc by Marc Jacobs stores and looks even lovelier in person. Trust.

Summer hasn’t even started for me but anyone who knows a lick about fashion knows that the Fall/Winter 2010 previews of near every collection are dropping daily. This brings me to the awesomeness that is Canada Goose!! I just spotted the collection for this upcoming Fall and have decided the $700+ price tag is worth it. It will have to be a small from the men’s collection because guys tend to get the good shiet sometimes. No fair. Personally, I’m getting too tired of the North Face and fall/winter coats you can get at the mall so it is time to change it up. Once September comes, hopefully The Tannery website or the location in Harvard Square gets them in by then because I will be putting money aside this summer for one of these bad boys.

I hope if your down with the Celts, you peeped this beforehand! Haha. My friend was supposed to go for me today, but since it’s limited to one per person, he just got shiet for himself. GREEDY MUTHER.  There is always Tuesday…

Okay, so everyone has probably heard of Nicki Minaj by now and every now and then the girl is accused of swagger jackin’ Lil Kim. However, the entire Harajuku Barbie look that Nicki Minaj has enveloped has always been awfully similar to Tokyo Diva who is also of New York – Queens to be exact and has been doing it a lot longer than Nicki Minaj appeared on the scene and then switched up to her current Barbie look. Poor Tok-Tok, she is not given enough credit.

Teasers for Lady Gaga‘s new video “Alejandro” which was directed by world-renowed fashion photographer, Steven Klein, are dropping like F-Bombs in the 8 Mile movie! This needs to be released asap. It looks very 90s Madonna meets a Vogue photoshoot mixed with some Janet Jackson Control thrown in.

10 days until the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa!!! I am too damn amped haha. Anyways, I came across this custom-made Louis Vuitton travel case made for the FIFA World Cup trophy today and it’s awesome.

Commissioned by FIFA, the special order case, handmade by a single master craftsman in Louis Vuitton’s historic Asnières workshop near Paris, has been meticulously designed to accommodate the celebrated Trophy, which measures 36 cm in height, weighs 6.175 kg and is made of solid 18-carat gold with a base of semi-precious malachite. Covered in Louis Vuitton’s iconic Monogram canvas, the travel case is fitted with the company’s signature brass lock and corners, and has a dark brown lining that complements the Trophy’s rich gold.

Like all Louis Vuitton special orders, the FIFA World Cup Trophy case was made at the company’s original workshop in Asnières, which opened in 1859. The case opens at the front and at the top to allow the Trophy to be removed easily when, at the final on 11th July in Johannesburg, watched by many millions of people across the globe, it will be presented.

It’s so precious. The handcrafting is remarkable. Whichever team wins is too priviliged to get this case in my opinion. Okay, I am just jealous but it is amazing no? 

Besides that, I am trying to come up with new concepts for a layout. This was one idea out of like five. It wouldn’t be just a picture though. Lots of things together, can’t really explain it. Still have assignments to hand in so my full attention isn’t going to be on this site for another week at least. Sometime in the next 2 weeks you will see the final layout concept I decide to go with.

Now toodaloo mutherf*ckers!

Karl Lagerfield just delivered with a spectacular cruise show for Chanel in St. Tropez! Models arriving by sailboats, Georgia May Jagger on a broken motorcycle and Uncle Karl in a purple suit? Now the video makes a bit more sense - a big ‘ol fun and part atmosphere. Way to redeem yourself. NOTE: I am updating this post with runway pics once better photographs of the models surface.

Thanks to 2BD, I just came across this collection by Elliot Ward-Fear which was shown in Australian Fashion Week in the past days. Never heard of him before, but this collection is SOMETHING ELSE! Too amazing. To view the rest of the jaw-dropping collection click here.

The short film promo for Chanel‘s cruise show, Remember Now, was released by Karl Lagerfield today. I will admit that it is not the greatest. It is a lot of fluff and unused time in the video though for being 17 minutes long. Still waiting on photos from the show as I type.
