Sean Connery Ads For Louis Vuitton Core Values By Annie Leibovitz

My favorite James Bond ever got himself in a little bag trouble these days. Not only he’s still rocking gorgeous looks even after all these years and I think his style will never fade, but he’s attached to a brand so known, that you’d have to be living under rock to not have heard about it at least once.

Annie Leibovitz photographed Sir Sean Connery for Louis Vuitton’s Core Values campaign. For the occasion, there will also be a donation to the Climate Change Project on behalf of Sir Connery. Even if I’m not a fan of monogrammed goods, I do declare my amazement and beatification when I look at this ad! To me this looks nothing like the previous ads with Keith Richards or Sofia Coppolla. Which one do you like best? (via)

There are journeys that turn into legends. Bahamas islands, 10:07.

Photographer Douglas Kirkland managed to surprise the world with 40 unseen pictures of Coco Chanel, the legend!

Kirkland’s young eye (27 years old at the time, in 1962) studied Miss Chanel for three weeks time and got so close and won Coco’s favors that he has gone where no photographer has gone before. In his mission from Look magazine, he took pictures of Mademoiselle in her private rooms, in the Versailles gardens and not only pictures of her models and her working with sketches, like he was first warned to do. His photos are on exposition in SoHo, New York, at Westwood Gallery. (via) (click thumbnails to see larger images)

I was running the virtual catwalk for Spring Summer 2009, searching for a way to proper start the SS 2009 reviews and found something I thought you should be aware of!

Karl Lagerfeld’s collection for Spring Summer 2009 was as non-colored as you can get (but I’ll save the best for the catwalk report!). Still, something drew my attention and got me thinking (yes, I know it’s fashion and I shouldn’t be doing that much thinking, but it’s my runway, the cerebral way or the high way!). Karl Lagerfeld had the models catwalking with a strange mask on their face – a bag with his face on! Few days ago I introduced you to the Fake Karl products. Who’s the Fake Karl, now?! (photos via style.com, cafepress.com/fakekarl)

Just another one of those Kaiser Karl moments… few seconds of reading and then few minutes of thinking why, oh why he has to say all those dreadful things?

… it must be a designer thing. Marc Jacobs has it too! So we’re still safe. (are we?) Oh, don’t bother with such deep thinking, take a deep breath and enjoy Karl Lagerfeld’s words, he’s so fashionable! Who needs teachers when you’ve got Kaiser Karl? (via timesonline)

I don’t want to look like an old teacher. I never make serious conversation. It bores me to death. I hate that. I love knowledge for myself

Now that’s a look that you could hardly forget! The flipper shoes! But no ordinary flipper shoes, no, no! We couldn’t do that for Victoria Beckham who’s unable to concentrate in flat shoes (so she says!)

High heel flipper shoes! Made by Australian Designer Lisa Carney, these High Tide Heels are one funny sight to see! There’s surely an impossibility to walk factor attached to the High Tide Heels, but if Posh can’t do it, then surely nobody would! Think about it this way – when we’ll grow tired of her neverending heights, she’ll go parade for the fishes! (via)

Victoria Beckham, the brave, goes shopping in sky high stilettos! And not just any shopping! Toys shopping! And not alone – with her three boys! (anyone else finds this at least ridiculous or it’s just me who’s thinking high heels and three kids just don’t match?!)

She’s wearing a short orange dress (her favorite color, I guess! It shows her off from a crowd of 1000 people!) and platforms so high, I don’t dare to measure! Guess who’s popping the next day wearing similar shoes? None the other but our suffering darling Anne Hathaway who might want to show us she wasn’t diminished by her ex-boyfriend betrayal. How do you that best? By wearing incredibly high heels shoes! Now if you were wondering who signs those shoes, the opinions are divided in two camps – ones say it’s Dsquared2, others say it’s Marc Jacobs. (more images after the jump. Don’t miss the poll attached to this article, right after the pictures!)

Because tartan is so in this season, you must pass the trend to your beloved pet! Cat Prin: The Tailor of a Cat is a Japanese web-store allowing you to dress up your favorite feline pet with the most adorable tartan accessories! Not to mention you’d be dressing them up for Halloween if you want to! They also sell frog transformation sets, prince and princesses coats and crowns.

Even if it sounds strange, some do love their pet all dressed up. I find it rather strange to make animals wear human-like clothes. I know they don’t really have something to say in the matter but still.. If you know someone who dressed up their pet, ask them if they were willing to spend few hours in a frog suit (nothing do to with the frog, but we’ve seen cat suits around, and they’re quite fashionable lately!)!

Young Israeli Designer Itay Ohaly carved out these wonderful rings from an old painting table, from a children furniture carpentry. Layers of acrylic paint were applied daily for four months in order to reach this thickness.

The result in rather charming, as the colorful layers of acrylic paint are sliced through to create surprising shapes. Sometimes you can even see the original painting table since there are sections that include it in a ring… I don’t know if it’s also resistant but it sure looks pretty to me. (not easy to wear, I imagine). So could you wear Itay Ohaly’s colored rings? (more pictures with the surprising rings right after the jump!) (via)
