Around the world so many times, I got my own atmosphere
Filed Under Jun1
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?
Jackie. Kind of. Maybe. Forgot about this website.

School comes first so for the last two-ish weeks I have been trying to wrap up some garments I made for this fashion show for school and a prom dress I was making for a friend. Now I don’t have to finish the prom dress by a certain date anymore because she isn’t going.. 
I am going to finish it though. Tuesday is the fashion show and I’ll be taking pics of my model in the garment. 50/50 if I want to see her model it down the runway. I’m so nervous about it that I would rather wait for an hour while the show goes on than sit front row at it. Have until Tuesday to decide that.
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!
You toying with me?

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.
Only stabbing b*tches when they get in the way!!

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.
I underestimated as the greatest one left

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.
