The women's version!
This women's version of the Balmain Homme leather jacket is so much nicer. The extra zips and shoulder pads added more wow factor to the jacket. More importantly, the nappa leather used on this jacket is a much better choice than the goatskin leather found on the men's version.
I am sure this will go off the shelves like hotcakes but you can pre-order this jacket for €6993 before it sold out.

Rare Givenchy studded T-shirt
I saw this rare Givenchy studded T-shirt at an auction site selling for 36,800 yen (which is approximately US$470). I think it's crazy! I would rather DIY one myself...

PS11 Classic Bag
I wish there is a larger size PS11 Classic Bag just like the PS1 Extra Large model. (Hopefully, Jack McCollough or Lazaro Hernandez from Proenza Schouler hears my wish and makes them in extra large model next season.)

Christian Louboutin SS12 Louis
Introducing the "No Limit" Louis and the new Louis Strass...
The "No Limit" Louis has all the Louboutin sneaker design elements. Spikes, Leopard and Strass. We can have it all in one sneaker. The idea is good but the color scheme seems to be a little flamboyant. As for the Louis Strass, this version is a bit unlike what we have seen before. Each piece of crystal strass is surrounded by a golden ring creating a glistening effect that could bring light to a dark room. However, this does not justify the price of US$2495 as the strassing work is not as tedious as the previous Louis Strass.

Blatant copy
I had a double take when a reader send me a link to this J.W.Anderson leather jacket. I can't believe that an established designer would blatantly copy an existing design. In my opinion, i think it is fine to custom make one but not making one to sell under its own brand. Wouldn't it tarnish it's own reputation?
No idea what i am talking about? It is the Dior Homme SS07 leather jacket.
Isabel Marant Keni leather jacket
Again, all you need is a key item to bring out the whole look. In this case, it is the Isabel Marant Keni leather jacket. This collarless black crinkle-effect leather biker jacket features gunmetal hardware, push-stud fastening epaulets, concealed asymmetric fastening at front, long sleeves with zip-fastening cuffs, zip pockets at front, elbow patches and is fully lined in anthracite silk-satin. It's from the Spring/Summer 2011 collection so i am not sure if you can get it now. Below is model Karmen Pedaru wearing it.

Pictures of the jacket...More Espadrilles Wingtips
These are the 2 nicest colour combination of the Prada Espadrilles Wingtips which i have seen. The first one is a Electric/Royal Blue and Brown combination (didn't know such combi will turn out nice or maybe it's the blue that is nice) and the other is the Mahogany Red leather combined with the blue stripe.
