OK, I made this image back when the Comme des Garcons X Louis Vuitton collaboration was first announced... and just never found a good place to put it (not that it really relates here- but I just can't help myself any longer!). I still LOL whenever I think of it! I mean, tell me this isn't how the Pixar animators came up with one of my all time favorite characters ever, the fabulous matriarch of all things fashion, Ms. Edna Mode? A little Rei Kawakubo... a little Edith Head... and vuala, Edna Mode!
Anyway, can't get enough of the little love fest going on between Marc Jacobs and Rei in anticipation of the debut of the collaboration next Wednesday!
MJ on Rei:
"I admire and worship her and it's the kind of thing that I think is so wonderful to do at Vuitton, where it's such an iconic brand and that monogram and everything and, again, I've said all this before, but it's so wonderful to have someone so outside of that thing take their look at it, their approach to it."
Rei on Louis:
"Due to our clever coordination, I anticipate that the wall between us will disappear. . . Funnily enough, I have never actually bought anything [at Vuitton], but I probably will buy a party bag next week. The best thing about such one-off events is the chance to arrive at something new from the meeting together of two different spirits."
Can't wait to see more!
