Following a stellar Fall 2009 debut hosted by Patricia Field in her personal home on the Bowery, Gerlan Jeans' sophomore presentation at the Audi Forum was a booming culmination of designer Gerlan Marcel's unconventional flair: an expectedly wacky affair chockablock with her idiosyncratic prints (past ventures of the Central Saint Martin's '00 graduate include designing kooky, colorful prints for Jeremy Scott, Calvin Klein, Barbie, and Libertine) and off-the-wall insanity. For Spring 2010, Gerlan steered toward a definite '90s SoCal vibe (think Amber's PVC/plastic dresses from Clueless), accentuated by daytime cotton streetwear recalling a distinct Clinton-era optimism and, perhaps, naiveté. Pot-leaf prints galore (played up by wicked hologram laboratory glasses seemingly ideal for Ernst Stavro Blofeld or even Dr. Julius No) and clear sky-high 'private dancer' heels may have been the most memorable motifs that I've witnessed thus far this Fashion Week. But the truly sellable high points include youthful Liberty-esque cotton floral prints perfectly fit for a romp in the sandbox, a dynamically spirited Doc Marten's collaboration, and a "yes we can" fist pump pattern befitting our current healthcare state-of-affairs.
LOVE HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The next installment in Kanye West’s upcoming Louis Vuitton Collection has been revealed. A few weeks ago we shared the Kanye West x Louis Vuitton Boat Shoes but now we’re able to show off Kanye’s new Red on Red model. This Kanye West x Louie Vuitton Sneaker has an upper entirely covered is red leather with sections of red nubuck/suede along the sides, toe, and heel. The back heel sports a quilted flap that’s said to be inspired by the collar of a jacket worn in the sci-fi movie Dune, an interlocking Louie Vuttion “LV” symbol is placed on the tongue, and LV monograms appear on the back portion of the midsole.
