Here’s Your First Look at Louis Vuitton’s SS18 Bags, Sunglasses & Other Accessories.

The luxury fashion game is all about accessories. While only a small minority of people are going to splash thousands on cashmere coats and silk shirts, bags, belts, wallets, sunglasses and shoes, but it’s an easy way for normal people to get involved in the world of high fashion.

Inspired by a trip to Hawaii, the house’s creative director, Kim Jones, unveiled a variety of metallic duffels, shiny clip belts and bi-color bags, all of which were emblazoned with the house’s unmistakable iconography, of course.

Vetements is done with fashion shows.

“I got bored. I think it needs to enter a new chapter. Fashion shows are not the best tool. We did the show in the sex club, the restaurant, the church. We brought forward the season, we showed men’s and women’s together. It’s become repetitive and exhausting. We will do something when there’s the time and the need for it. It will be more like a surprise.” - Demna Gvasalia

Marc Jacob| Fall/ Winter 2017. Marc Jacobs shows off his Fall/Winter 2017 collection at New York Fashion Week, drawing inspiration from hip-hop, the 70’s and outdoors on the sidewalk of Park Avenue. The runway show was in utter silence, letting the clothes and the street noise do the talking. Jacob’s goal was to not have any special effects take away from the clothing he designed, he wanted the clothes to be the main focal point of the show. By Elize Mathilda
