No really- like flour, yeast, oil... Yeah.
New online mag "Flamboyant" has included various pictures of branded and otherwise odd baked goods in their "Daily Bread" section of their first issue.
We've seen this kind of Appropriation before- in candy, cakes, guns, antlers and remember the LV electric chair and LV monogram live PIGS?
Love the visuals!!!
Be sure to stop by the Louis Vuitton Boutique at Carmel Plaza on Tuesday to see the new Infinity Essence concept car with the killer Louis Vuitton Graphite Damier bespoke luggage for the slide out trunk! (Check out more fabulousness HERE!)
My uncle David lives in Carmel- one of my favorite little towns in the world! He gave me the grand tour last year- and it's such an amazing place- incredible architecture, history, natural beauty- trees & beaches & fab shopping & food!!! We stopped by Carmel Plaza- which is an adorable outdoor, three level shopping area- all wood, with tons of trees and flowers- all open and breezy! Unfortunately, the LV Boutique had just closed- so I still haven't been in 
This is a perfect opportunity for all of you Fashionphiles out there with SOs who may not be in for a stop at the boutique- but would totally be up for a look at one of the hottest concept cars this year! It totally looks like liquid metal!!!
If any of you locals drop by... be sure to send me a pic please!
Tweet it to me and I'll retweet it out!
(And David- this is right up your alley- Fashionphile AND automobile aficionado!!!)

Uh... yeah. The black leather bandaids, I could see. For those injured goth or rocker types.
Luxist wrote on the leather version, and I thought... "hmmm, interesting concept- and looks like they're getting some press." I mean, at our house, we've got "Camp Rock" bandaids, and Hello Kitty bandaids and Camo bandaids- but nobody's doing cool bandaids for folks over 11. What about white patent? Or Leopard? I think people might buy those... But the whole unauthorized Louis Vuitton monogram version was a turn-off.
What do you think?
OK, can't complain cause I've just gotten back from an amazing trip to Italy- through Venice & Cince Terra ... but I'm so sad I'm missing this!
The Louis Vuitton “A Passion for Creation” exhibition is now open via the Hong Kong Museum of Art. In it you'll find works from the Fondation Louis Vuitton pour la Création. Of course you'll find pieces from Takashi Murakami, Stephen Sprouse and the whole thing is wrapped in Richard Prince.
I guess it's not over yet... there's still time, if I can just get way before August 9th, 2009. If you've been... I want to hear about it!

I know I'm beating this dead horse- (and I hate that phrase- the poor horse!)-- but really. "Fusion art"? Come on now.
In case you've forgotten the formula (and how could you since literally EVERYONE is doing it...)
1. Take one unexpected item- Gun, Bullet, Electric Chair, Statue of African Baby, Lollipop, piece of Classic Art
2. Add internationally recognizable luxury brand signature monogram- LV, CC, GG, FF, YSL, Dior
3. Find an Art Gallery- and open your exhibit!
Seriously, though. Who isn't doing this? I guess luxury brands spend millions and millions of dollars promoting their brand's marks- so folks are going to do what they can to make a little money on it.
I love that I want to say "why would we care"... but obviously I'm blogging it...

It's getting boring blogging about "artists" who go the lazy route, and use designer logos and trademarks in their work.
I didn't even blog about the "Fashion Weapons" by still life photographer Massimo Gammacurta, because I'd blogged about so many other artists who've done exactly... the... same... thing. You know, take something violent and offensive like an electric chair or a bullet or a creepy looking dog... and wrap it all up in Louis Vuitton monogram, or quilted Chanel, or signature Dior or whatever. It's gotten so old.
But looks like the tactic worked for Massimo, cause now he's doing logos in candy. Like I've always said, appropriation: it's art for the lazy.
Just wondering if this (Marc Jacob's Louis Vuitton monogram canvas "Fantasy Dog" bag pictured above on a Damier Sauvage rug) inspired this frightening little bit of LV appropriation art from Meryl Smith:
... that I blogged about a while back...
What do you think?

We'll I gotta say, I didn't think we'd get one so quickly... but thanks so much, you know who you are!
The Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse Rose Graffiti Neverfull is my favorite of all of the Sprouse Tribute Collection. This is partially because the Rose Graffiti is just a contradiction- in that it is beautiful- and yet defacing. Love that!!! And partially, because like the "Murakami Hands", the Neverfull is just a great Canvas! A nice, big billboard for some pretty art!
Take a look at our brand spanking new, authentic Louis Vuitton Stephen Sprouse Graffiti Rose Neverfull MM! I love her!
What is it with "artists" using the Louis Vuitton monogram in weapons and ammunition?
Apparently, this was part of the communications campaign kit by design firm 21:19 for Bita Haidarian's autobiographical film, "Finding Bibi". I'm just done with the whole, use the iconic Louis Vuitton logo on a bullet or gun to make a political statement. It's been done OVER and OVER.
