Madonna and Dolce&Gabbana strengthen their collaboration with the new venture – eyewear collection. The line will include six styles and each will have a MDG logo, with M standing for Madonna and DG for the brand.

The collaboration is interesting for both Dolce & Gabbana and the singer.

Stefano Gabbana says in the interview for WWD:

We’re so excited. This further strengthens our relationship with Madonna, and it was a very constructive experience for us. Madonna is very exacting and a professional who seeks perfection in everything she does, and this was no exception.”

Over 50 sketches of sunglasses were sent to the queen of pop but she chose only six and even altereted those to her liking.

Madonna will also star in the ad campaign for the upcoming range. The adverts will feature close-ups of Madonna playing a film noir version of herself along with model Tyson Ballou shot by Steven Klein.

Each brand has its own signature style that distinguishes it from others. We will always recognize Chanel sumptuous designs, elaborate silhouettes of Ann Demeulemeester, bright elegancy of Lanvin or chic classic of Hermes and Ralph Lauren.

Chloe is best known for their very special handbags. These always come in basic forms that make them wardrobe staples and good investments. Besides, Chloe makes exceptionally practical pieces of high quality that will serve you for a long time.

The new Spring-Summer 2010 collection of hanbags includes a few new models, all in leather but in various colors. There are no vibrant yellow or neon green hues here, just pure classic tones like browns, blacks, reds and beiges.

Rachel Zoe advises women to forget about wardrobe staples and start purchasing things that stand out. The famous stylist considers it is better to make a statement than blend into the background. Basic items and basic colors are not for her and she wants us to follow the same rule.

On her website, rachelzoe.com, she said:

Honestly, the word basic doesn’t really exist in my vocabulary – sure I have a favourite cut of denim and classic leather jacket never hurt anybody, but more often than not, I like my every day items to stand out.”

However, Rachel does have a list of pieces she thinks every girl should have in her wardrobe and it includes 20 items. Little black dress is one of those though generally LBD is one of the ‘staples’.

She said:

Wear as it is or rely on it as a base for your favourite layering pieces.”

Talking about accessories, Rachel says a boldly-coloured cocktail ring is what we all need to own:

Add a pop of colour to your everyday wardrobe with a go big or go home cocktail ring.”

We all know the power of accessories. And if the ones are strong and vibrant they can change the whole look of yours.

Kenzo collection of accessories for winter 2010 is a very special one. It includes unusual handbags made of fur, suede and leather, embellished with sequins and adorned with clips and rivents. The technique of patchwork is used beautifully too. The colors are bright and very fresh and youthful.

Belts come in ordinary designs but there are some eccentric ones as well. I just love those with fur on buckles!

Shoes are nice but seem to be too dangerous to walk in. The platforms are huge and don’t look steady enough. The fur trimming looks chic.

Hats are very warm and stylish, but you can’t wear them with your classic coat, of course.

It’s cold outside and we all want spring to come as soon as possible with its warmth, sun and greenness. And while there is little brightness out there we can think about things that can enliven our life.

Let’s talk about bracelets now. Bracelets are must-haves in any woman’s wardrobe. And we all have so many of them! But do you know that they initially were worn only by men? Read the history of bracelets here.

Spring-Summer 2010 season sees lots of bracelets worn all over the arm, from wrists to forearms. And the diversity of styles and designs is huge.

Let me show you the bracelets I liked the most in designers’ collections.

John Galliano and Lanvin created very elaborate and chic pieces, with lots of beads, chains and gemstones.

Jean Paul Gaultier preferred plastic to other materials and made very extravagant bracelets which could be worn on forearms and elbows.

Louis Vuitton collections have always been very unusual and different from others. But this season Marc Jacobs has gone too far, in my opinion.

The Spring-Summer 2010 collection looks weird, especially those huge brightly-colored wigs. The Christmas ad campaign for accessories is also something fairy-like and far from reality. (Though I must admit the pieces look good). And now the new thing to make us surprised – Animania collection of accessories.

The range is named Louis Vuitton Animania. All items are adorned with the famous monogram and should look chic but actually they look funny.

Little rabbits, birds, squirrels – all look too childish. And scarves that are to be worn by fashionistas are not sumptuous-looking.

The collection is said to be inspired by Gaston-Louis Vuitton’s wooden toys collection. His wife used to collect the mini wonders in the early 20th century and now, in the early 2010, Marc Jacobs made those mini creatures bigger and fashionable!

Prada is always associated with luxury and sophistication and the label does really make things that are chic and fabulous. But something must have happened with the stylist as the new Spring-Summer 2010 ad campaign focuses more on bright orange lipstick and green sunglasses rather than clothes and accessories created by the brand’s designers.

Rasa Zukauskaite, a young and little known Lithuanian model, was chosen to represent the label this coming fashion season.

The girl is very pretty and her appeal makes the ad look nice. Some glamour is added by clothing and handbags but anyway attention is attracted to the face, something that shouldn’t be too much important in an ad like this.

I’m happy to present Louis Vuitton Christmas 2009 accessories ad campaign as Christmas is getting closer and closer and therefore fairy tale is approaching as well.

Louis Vuitton played with the idea of a fairy tale being inspired by Charles Perrault stories. In the result pictures were created full of magic blue and silver together with bright holiday red hues.

The collection itself looks attractive too, but, in my opinion, it isn’t as noticable on such a fairy-backround.

All the items are very similar to usual Louis Vuitton things and only some look like pieces perfect for around-Christmas-time.

Madonna’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton was successful for both sides. But fashion changes and faces should change too. As we have mentioned before Lara Stone was invited to represent the brand in the new season, Spring-Summer 2010. And these photos are the first results of the work with the model.

Lara Stone embodies youth, sex appeal, chic and sophistication, that’s why Louis Vuitton have chosen her.

After our successful collaboration with Madonna, we are very happy to be working once again with Steven Meisel on the Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010 fashion campaign,” says Artistic Director Marc Jacobs.

Because the collection loosely took its cues from the idea of the New Age traveler, we decided to create a green, outdoorsy set that would evoke a spirit of peace and love. To model the clothes, we wanted a modern, iconic, sexy beauty… It had to be Lara Stone.”

The shoot is really sexy and luxurious. Lara is featured on a bed of moss and ferns, surrounded by white doves. The fresh background helps to accentuate the brightness and vividness of Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection and beautiful accessories, including ‘metallic Monogram canvas, sun-bleached Monogram denim bags, furry foxtail charms, hardware-inspired jewelry and wooden clogs embellished with rustic tufts of fur’.

It was a wonderful shoot,” continues Marc Jacobs. “Doves were flying, the atmosphere was sexy and magical, and the result is a set of images that are desirable, colorful, whimsical and, of course, luxurious.”

This is a very strong campaign, reflecting the vibrant, optimistic mood of the Spring/Summer 2010 show,” agrees Antoine Arnault, Head of Communications for Vuitton. “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Steven Meisel, and to welcome Lara Stone as the voluptuous new embodiment of the Louis Vuitton woman.”

The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign will be published in February 2010 issues of glossies worldwide. Can’t wait to see the full set of pictures!
