Louis Vuitton homage to Stephen Sprouse

There's a great article in WWD about the LV/Marc Jacobs homage to Stephen Sprouse. I'm not really a leggings person but for some reason these ones look so fun! I think it's the green because I wasn't super crazy about the monogram graffiti the first time although I do LOVE that Sprouse leopard scarf collabo.

--"To show their admiration for the late designer and artist, next month, Jacobs, Vuitton’s creative director, is using his hit 2001 collaboration with Sprouse for a new, limited edition collection of accessories and ready-to-wear. Jacobs even doffed his duds again, posing in the nude painted in Sprouse’s graffiti for Harper’s Bazaar’s January issue."

--"Jacobs took two iconic Sprouse motifs — the graffiti and the rose — and interpreted them in Day-Glo shades of pink, green and orange over the Monogram print. The motifs are featured on Vuitton’s Keepall, Speedy and Neverfull bag styles, as well as basketball sneaker boots, pumps, sunglasses, headbands and wristbands, and small leather goods like wallets and coin purses. The rtw includes a mackintosh raincoat with a graffiti and monogram lining, graffiti leggings and a long-sleeve neon minidress featuring the rose design."

--“I tried to take what Stephen had done at Vuitton and then kind of flip it in my head, and make it Vuitton’s work for Stephen, not Stephen’s work for Vuitton,” Jacobs said. “I just felt it was a funny way to play with it, to pretend to be Sprouse for a bit, and use the work that he did, and then bring it back to the work that he did before I collaborated with him.”

Shopping

I FINALLY found my DVF Taran dress in the regatta weave print. I think it's a S/S 2008 print so it is pretty much a miracle that I found it. I was going to buy it, then I didn't and then it sold out, then some went on sale and then they didn't have my size, blah blah blah. But I finally found it and I am sooo stoked, pockets on dresses should ALWAYS happen.


Anyway I picked up some Citizens of Humanity Jeans at Bloomingdales on Friday. I am on a desperate search for jeans since all of them wear out on me and I am so picky about fit. I usually buy Diesel but lately their butt pocket designs have been bothering me and I only like straight legs, no bootcut and no skinnies.

I picked up a cute black skirt at Neiman's on Friday too, they didn't have my size in stock but they're shipping it to me. It is kinda like that other purple Cynthia Steffe shirt that I bought with the ruffly stuff on it, except it's black and the ruffly stuff is at the bottom. I also bought another Cynthia Steffe top. I guess I am on a Cynthia Steffe kick.

YSL Tube Flat Boot

I want to buy these boots. But the YSL site has no measurements or other angles of the boot. It looks patent in the picture but the small and lonely description just says leather boot with rubber sole. Boooo. Guess I might just have to call my SA in Vegas!

I've got Florida on the brain

I bought new sandals for myself tonight. I desperately need a vacation! Florida here I come! I don't know if gladiators are out, but I don't really care. I didn't like Tory Burch's new gladiators for S/S 2009 -
