It uses a process called rotoscoping where artists take regular video film footage and basically trace and draw each image frame by frame.
I thought it was interesting that Heartless has a bunch of the scenes rotoscoped in Kanye's real house. (Check out more pictures of his place in Interior Design Mag.) The picture on the above left is a rotoscope of the picture on the right- a shot taken inside one of the rooms in Kanye's Los Angeles house.
Interesting that Kanye's vintage Damier trunk came rotoscoped borderline Azur! And maybe the artist's a vegetarian? Notice that one of my mom's old favorites Campbell's "Hot Dog Bean" soup was replaced by Vegetable!
Yep... you read that right. Price decrease! And a full 7% price cut at that!!!
As of today- November 29... if you're living in or traveling in Japan, you can pick up most Louis Vuitton things- bags, watches, shoes and RTW at any of the 56 Japanese stores at the new decreased prices.
Louis Vuitton has historically adjusted prices in response to the fluctuation of the markets. We have seen that in the US... when the value of the dollar against the pound, euro and yen has been weak- we see the resulting price increase.
The yen is currently particularly strong against the euro- and LVMH says that this price reduction reflects that discrepancy.
I know that lives have been lost- and there is so much more at stake, but this is an interesting Wall Street Journal article about the attacks yesterday in India- and specifically, the effect on the the Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Bulgari boutiques in the historic Taj Hotel that saw so much devistation.
The Oberoi Trident Hotel also was attacked and it looks like some of the employees from Salvatore Ferragamo have even been held hostage
The whole story is just devistating. We're really hoping and praying that the situation in India will come to a peaceful conclusion ASAP.
This is giving me serious junior high flashbacks!!!
Stephen Sprouse passed away in 2004, but is he going to let a little obstacle like death get in the way of releasing blockbuster designs? Not Sprouse!
So once again, Marc Jacobs is acting in his proxy. He's bringing back the classic 2001 Louis Vuitton Graffiti line- but this time in Glow in the Dark orange, pink and green. Read more about which pieces are making the day-glo cut in Excess Baggage. (Notice his speculation that the kicks in the picture above might be the product of the much anticipated Kanye West's LV men's shoe collaboration. Looks perfect for his Glow in the Dark Tour!)
MJ's been seriously digging the man skirt- but the one he wore to the Louis Vuitton X Vogue Magazine release party was actually more of what my girls call a skort!
Raunchy photog Terry Richardson was behind the lens for the pin-up calendar that Louis Vuitton & Vogue partnered up on.
You can read the rest of the story... and see the N(necessarily)SFW photos of the calendar at WWD and fashionologie.
But ya know- you don't have to live in Beverly Hills- or even near a boutique to shop for fabulous authentic Hermes pieces! We're here whether you are or not! We have many local clients, but many of our consignors are from all over the world.
Always check FASHIONPHILE first for Hermes or any of your favorite brands of authentic pre-owned luxury handbags!
Wish I could see them in person. From the same people who did the Bond Street video display for Louis Vuitton in celebration of Vogue Mag's 90th anniversary!
We all remember the special order monogram guitar case that Louis Vuitton came up with for their Core Values spot with Keith Richards.
Well it looks like Hermès one-uped them! Check out the bespoke Crocodile case that they created for Eric Clapton! The case was specially designed to carry his Martin 00028 EC acoustic guitar. (Yep- the guitar that Eric Clapton helped design- and was named for him "EC").
Poplar wood from Nazareth, Pennsylvania and matte crocodile skin make up the shell of the case. Blue silk velvet lines the interior. Just another reason for me to wish I could play the guitar.
... of about everything, it seems. You know I love Yulia Tymoshenko! Remember? The GORGEOUS (smart, powerful and totally loaded) Prime Minister of the Ukraine?
Like I blogged before, Yulia's got a thing for Louis Vuitton. She famously ordered an entire seasonal collection of Louis Vutton RTW. She likes bags- but loves the clothes!
I thought this was an interesting article. Check it out! It has side by side pics of Yulia in dozens of outfits- mostly Louis Vuitton- but different colors of the same piece.
I love it! I do that, on a much smaller scale! I'll buy the shoes in brown and black
