Sean Connery for LOUIS VUITTON

Part of the long term running Cole Values Luggage campaign by Annie Leibovitz

i do love Louis Vuitton... except the fact that everyone carries one in the street (and when most of them are fake)... just looked at photos from the 2009 Spring/Summer collection (yes i only looked at it just now)... once again i was surprised and loved the collection... even said that i still think each individual pieces are amazingly nice but whoever did the styling managed to made them look horrible together... there's a bit of Japanese influence especially in the leather waist belt and a bit of the pure French romance in details... the person i've in mind would wear these would be Grace Jones for sure... ha ha...

and after the collaboration of Louis Vuitton and the American street artist Stephen Sprouse in 2001, the two teamed up again this month on the new collection of bags (of course) and even sneakers, sunglasses and some clothing too... don't even know rather it's a good thing or not... arr...

of course... Louis Vuitton won't be the only house in Paris with news... for the 125th anniversary of Coco Chanel... Karl Lagerfeld (who else?) has designed a special 5 Euro coin... which was chosen to match the house's No. 5 fragrance... the '5 Euro' coin comes in gold and silver... the gold version is limited to 99 pieces and it costs 5900 Euros... yes... 1180 times higher than the 'appeared' cost... arr... and the silver one is limited to 11900 pieces and cost 45 Euros... what the hell... (for your information the coin is now released)

look at uncle Karl with the tiny mini coin... (i think he's trying to look cute!! ha ha)

and after all those designer phones including Prada, Giorgio Armani, Vivienne Westwood, Dolce & Gabbana and most recently Christian Dior... now it has finally come to Chanel... the Coco Chanel Phone... i have to say it is actually a very very interesting phone... design-wise... as the screen is hidden under the keyboard when it's not using and the keys would only appear when it's in use too... although i think the design is very clever i still think it looks a bit weird... not in a good way... and if you're still waiting for a Louis Vuitton phone? it seems that it won't actually come to life in a period of time but the Tokyo company KDDI has released a LV-theme for their phones... only in Japanese tho...

and i think one of the biggest news in these few weeks after the H&M x CdG collection would be the new line of H&M... labeled H&M HOME... (and so you should know what is the line is about)... which actually looks very Ikea... and i wouldn't be suprise if H&M has teamed up with some designers to do collaboration collection for this line... who knows??????
