Vetements X Manolo Blahnik




So this collaboration finally dropped in stores last week and what a delight they are! Mow they aren't what you would expect of Manolo Blahnik, in that they are simply designed with a classic court shoe sillhouette but in true Blahnik style they are made from satin upper and my guess is that this along with Blahniks signature scribbled on the side is exactly what Vetements was looking for in collaboration. Vetements is know for its laid back fashion, the type of fashion you'd see trendy people living in Shoreditch or Brooklyn wearing so this collaboration is a nice little partnership of sexy footwear with uber cool clothes.








5 Reasons 
to visit the Louis Vuitton Series 3 Exhibition NOW!!!



1) A feast for your eyes, this exhibition is all about moving picture, and interactive catwalk shows with the use of digital media. My favourite part (naturally) was a recording of the bag making process, from leather cutting all the way to a full blown handmade bag. You also have the opportunity to meet one of THE Louis Vuitton bag making artisans - all french speaking so brushing up on your french may do you wonders.





2) Shoes - OF COURSE! Most of the shoes I see on the runway during fashion month come and go in a blink of an eye. The exhibition has a room dedicated to its accessories where you get to touch and feel the footwear and clothing in more detail, sometimes revealing shoes that I may have missed watching the show - one of my favourite rooms by far.





3) Staff - an odd thing to comment on but the staff were so polite and passionate that you actually noticed it! Which sounds weird to hear but it totally made our experience - they were all happy to help and talk about the exhibition.

4) At the end of the exhibition the final room opens up into a open plan cafe with a gorgeous view of London. The cafe had some beautiful cakes and sandwiches on display with Prosecco to accompany them.

5) The exhibition is FREE! I mean what isn't there to like about that? Knowledge is power my friends, who says fashion isn't educational?! I gained a real understanding of certain leather processes that I can't wait to put to good use in the studio. At the end you are also treated to 4 motifs of LV's most memorable accessory products - A cute touch to mark the end of a great exhibition.
