Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2012/13

All aboard the Louis Vuitton Express!
One of the stand out shows of Paris fashion week was the Louis Vuitton Fall/ Winter 2012/13 collection. The romance of a great train journey was the inspiration for Marc Jacobs show, 'The time it recalls was filled with cinema, literature, thoughts of a better life' were the word Jacobs himself used.
And indeed it did, models alighted the Vuitton express wearing beautifully embroidered A-line coats, sheath dresses and tunics worn over straight legged trousers. Accessories included floral brooches and oversized buttons. If that wasn't enough, each of the 47 models had their own porter, carrying must have pieces from the latest Vuitton luggage collection including frame bags and suitcase bags. Marc Jacobs does not disappoint with his show-stopping spectacles that we know he does best.

To celebrate the Queen's Jubilee, London's Topshop on Oxford Street was turned into a stage for Meadham Kirchhoff's spectacular dancing fashion show. Using signature pastel wigs, the models danced down the escalators and around the store, leading you to Britannia, a statuesque model stood on revolving plinth, surrounded by more feather- holding models. A fun and exciting way to celebrate all that is British in tribute to the Queen.

So I was researching for my current project and I came across this weird and wonderful architecture. It was built in 1997 by Czech artist Vlado Milunic in collaboration with American architect  Frank Gehry. Situated in downtown Prague, CZ it vaguely resembles a pair of dancers, reflected in its name of Tancici Dum- translated as 'The Dancing House'.
