Check out these amazing animal sculptures made out of louis vuitton bags

In honor of a new Louis Vuitton flagship opening in Sydney, Australia, British artist Billie Achilleo created a set of animals made entirely out of Vuitton handbags and accessories. And not just any animals–a kangaroo, a koala bear and a crocodile; which, as far as I know with my TV-based knowledge of Australian wildlife, are native to the country/continent. Her creations are so elaborate and detailed, it’s hard to believe they’re real, but they are.
It’s also not the first time the brand has collaborated with Achilleo on animal sculptures. She created an armadillo, a grasshopper, a chameleon and a beaver earlier this year to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Louis Vuitton SLG Savoir Faire collection.

Object of Desire: Prada Nylon Knapsack

 
Understated & uncommonly chic, this slouchy, multi-pocketed bag changed the way the fashion world thought of backpacks (previously the province of Alpine hikers & fifth graders!) In the mid-90s in NYC, the bags (and their many knockoffs) were so omnipresent on everyone's back that it made walking around parties & subway cars a little difficult

Fashion Icon: Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn, Actress
Why? Because window-shoppin and munching a croissant will never again be that elegant. neither will a black turtleneck with black cigarette pants. A little black dress that she wore in Breakfast with Tiffany's sold at action for nearly a million dollars- & the proceeds built a school for improvised children in India. (and because being an humanitarian is always in style)

Everything You Need to Know About Today’s Top Fashion Photographers

In the world of fashion there is a small yet consistent collection of photographers who get the majority of work for major publications and brands. In fact, many of them seem to have quite the monopoly on the fashion world. Legends like Richard Avedon and Irving Penn continued to work prolifically up until the time they passed away, and that seems to be what is so great about being behind the camera instead of in front of it. Top photographers are given the chance to work for years in an industry where most figures are in one day and out the next.

But how do you differentiate one top photographer from another? You'll see what to look for from visual style, what publications they regularly appear in, as well as recent ongoing collaborations with brands and models of some of the top working fashion photographers of today. enjoy!

Report: Marc Jacobs Turns Down Dior For Good (and So Did Everyone Else)

Marc Jacobs is not going to Dior.

A source close to the situation tells us Jacobs “declined” the job for good sometime in “mid November.” LVMH reportedly approached Jacobs about taking the reigns at Dior in July after Bill Gaytten showed his critically-slammed couture collection for the house. Jacobs seemed a shoe-in for the job. But negotiations between LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault, Dior president Sidney Toledano and Jacobs fell apart over money and the reorganization of Jacobs’ team. According to a source, Jacobs wanted to bring his team from Vuitton to Dior and “transfer the aesthetic from one house to another” (which might explain the dramatic shift towards a more girly aesthetic in Jacobs’ spring collection for Vuitton). As WWD reported earlier this month, that would leave Vuitton, LVMH’s cash cow, in the lurch, with the conglomerate’s other design star, Phoebe Philo, unwilling to leave Céline to replace Jacobs at Vuitton.
