Louis Vuitton For Edun. Every Journey Begins In Africa Campaign

Ali Hewson and Bono launched the fashion line 'Edun' in 2005 to raise awareness for the people of Africa with respect to the Fashion Industry. The launch of Edun was based on strong principles to create jobs and ultimately relieve poverty stricken Africans.

Edun products are completely crafted in Africa, composed of cotton grown and farmed in Northern Uganda.

Louis Vuitton and the Keepall 45 Travel Duffel bag has collaborated with Bono and Ali's Edun Campaign to created a beautiful Louis Vuitton Duffel. The bag is priced at $4,900 USD and all proceeds go towards the Conservation Cotton Initiative, which promotes organic and eco-friendly cotton growing. The Conservation Cotton Initiative was established in 2007 by the Wildlife Conservation Socitety and Bono along with his wife Ali.

Each bag features an African inspired charm, crafted of ebony and bone spikes. Each spike is beautifully shaped, featuring Louis Vuittons signature pattern, coloured in spectacular ivory and brown shades.

Prada to Chanel, Fall 2010 Footwear

I've come to the sad realization, that summer is near its end. Although most of us want to still believe that its the beginning of July, the mornings are getting a tad chillier, and the wind is starting to blow more often. I love the sound of the wind through the trees, but that is a definite sign of Fall. However, with Fall, comes Fall issues of magazines, and everyone knows, they are the largest issues of them all.... Spread after spread, advertisement after advertisement. The 508 pages of Harper's Bazaar and the comparable ones of Vogue, Fashion, Elle, In Style etc are enough to make any Fall blahs flutter out the window. 


Found amongst the Fall Collection campaign ads, within the glossy pages, was a definite reoccurring theme: emphasis on fashionable footwear, showing off your feet, while keeping them cozy in winter. Prada and Chanel portrayed a beautiful Fall Winter Collection, exemplifying just this. 


Enter, Kitten Heels and granny inspired stockings, and a fur overload, ranging from Booties, to Heels to Pants (maybe even leggings?).


Both collections are a gorgeous array of solid colours, elegant stripes, beautiful materials and geometric shapes. Although they are on quite opposites sides with respect to 'style', (classic vs, out doorsey and native inspired), they both showcase a woman's legs and feet exquisitely. 
Whichever style you prefer, ultimately be prepared to choose your choice of weapon against the cold, because your feet truly deserve to be fashionably warm.

it was love at first sight when I looked in your eyes...

I couldn't resist.

At first glance, these images look like some sort of devilish inspiration for graffiti on  a brick wall, or Ed Hardy designs suped up on steroids. But, these just so happen to be images from the launch of the new Alexander McQueen eye wear collection. The skulls are stunning and beautiful in a terrifying and deathly way, definitely making quite an impact. Alexander McQueen was known for his creative innovation, and it is carried on through his name. If skulls modeling eye wear doesn't classify creative genius, I am not sure what does.
