here's a few tidbits i have gathered about the upcoming Louis Vuitton Men's Spring/Summer 2010 Collection.

the new face for the ad campaign is French-Canadian model Gabriel Aubry (a.k.a. Mr Halle Berry). here's a couple of shots of him from
LV S/S 2010 runway presentation back in June:




he was phtographed by Steven Meisel at the Spanish hot spot Ibiza. some say it almost could've been Jesus Luz if Madonna had her way. thankfully the luxury brand's big wigs weren't swayed.


Spring 2010 will be all about reintroducing their hugely successful Taïga leather collection. launched in 1993, Taïga was LV's first line of bags, luggage and accessories designed specifically for men. next year, we will see three new colours named after the biospheres surrounding the Arctic region:



Polaire, as the name suggests would most likely be snow white:




Glacier i presume would be this colour:




and Boreal, named after the more densely forested southern portion of the Taiga, the coniferous northern region of the globe just below the Arctic. im a bit stumped with this one, but the closest hint of the actual colour i could come up with is a mottled pink granite. so it could possibly be a new lighter shade of their old acajou (burgundy) colour:




but it could also be a new version of their original epicea (evergreen) colour:




then again, i could be completely way off the mark with this one.


now don't get too excited just yet guys. i haven't heard any confirmation as to which of the bags shown above will actually be produced. but i could easily presume that this tote will most likely make the shortlist:





since this type of bag seems to be popular and they like sticking to what has worked already:





oh, and in case you're curious about this backpack:



it will be available on special order and it will set you back upwards of $20,000. which is ok by me since im not too crazy about it nor its Taiga version, which is relatively cheaper at around $3000+.


while Steven Meisel remains responsible for
LV's glossy fashion adverts for now, and Annie Liebvotiz with their Core Values campaigns, they have enlisted the notoriously hip Frenchman André Saraiva to photograph a bunch of his equally cool friends for Louis Vuitton's sunglasses campaign wearing these:






shot on location at the Modernist architectural wonder,
The Standard Hotel in New York City. i can't wait to see the results.


im all set for an exciting LV Spring 2010.

Hey! It's Rishin from TPF btw, I really should get a Livejournal acct. Anyways, I am excited for this collection for you boys, it looks great! Can't wait to see what you get. I don't know if I will be crossing the gernder lines for this season though because I am happy with the womens collection but there are sure some tempting bags here which are more subdued which would be great for work!

i wonder if it will make the cut.

DD, me again. that's the exact style I want! It's definitely a unisex looking piece so you absolutely must get it as well! Let's keep our fingers crossed it goes into production! Wasn't there a green one as well?
16th-Nov-2009 10:06 am (UTC)
yes, but i like this one better. but either would be fine. do you think it's vinyl or patent leather? whatever it is, iWANT!

i like the Polaire messenger bag as it's narrow/lean, but i'm nervous about the color (too pristine!). but what i like best the tote bags. i am licking my lips. - enzoHKG

its Taiga leather, you can easily wipe it with a damp cloth if it ever gets dirty. which i doubt would happen.
16th-Nov-2009 12:23 pm (UTC)
wow, great information! i am sooooo looking forward to next season!!! excited...i am definitely eyeing on that messenger bag ala briefcase. i hope it makes the cut since i never got my wish for the fall-winter collection...hehehe...

i also like that white briefcase. perfect for a MacbookAir. i just might have my first all white bag this season.

btw, you DID get something else from F/W'09 right? when's the reveal happening? ;-)
16th-Nov-2009 05:04 pm (UTC)
ya, perfect for macair! didn't think of that. hehe...

ya, i did but not the ONE that initially wanted but this comes as a very good second choice. i won't be receiving it until the 12th of december...tagal pa. hehe. i am definitely revealing it as soon as i receive it. :P
16th-Nov-2009 02:38 pm (UTC)

16th-Nov-2009 05:06 pm (UTC)
hehe. it is our top pick then! we might be bag triplets IF this comes out. haha. anyway, i am so worried about my funds already NOW! hahaha...what more come february! i hope this bag will be less than 100kPhp in manila...
16th-Nov-2009 05:12 pm (UTC)
