LA PETITE MALLE - LOUIS VUITTON SERIES 3 EXHIBITION

La Petite Malle, a New Classic in the LOUIS VUITTON handbag collection, was inspired by their legendary trunks. As the name, Petite Malle ("little trunk") suggests, it looks like an exquisite little vanity case and it is made in either the iconic Monogram or Damier canvas. Undoubtedly, to make a beautiful piece like this requires great skill and expertise.  It was interesting to watch the craftsman at work at the recent LOUIS VUITTON SERIES 3 Exhibition at 180 Strand, an art gallery in London.

LA PETITE MALLE - THE ARTISAN AT WORK

La Petite Malle is an example of how the designer, Nicolas Ghesquierè, combines the tradition of LOUIS VUITTON with his own new ideas.  At the exhibition, a large trunk was displayed, which held both LOUIS VUITTON'S historic secrets and Nicolas Ghesquierè's new ones. 

A TRUNK OF SECRETS AND IDEAS

Nicolas Ghesquierè's inspirations and ideas have led to his Autumn-Winter 2015/2016 collection for LOUIS VUITTON. As I sat on low steps and watched screens displaying models walking at the fashion show, I felt as if I was actually there in the front row!

Designer Exhibitions at art galleries are now becoming frequent events. They give the visitor a chance to explore the style and tradition of fashion houses and to learn how their new designers are updating their image.

AUTUMN UPDATES

I've updated  my wardrobe for Autumn 2015 with a few new pieces that echo the season's mood.

I like Calzedonia jeggings because I find that they fit well and are really easy and comfortable to wear.  These are black jeans with discreet trendy rips and frayed hems.

FASHION NOTE:
As usual, fashion is always one step ahead.  Just when I was getting into the feel of Autumn, my favourite designers presented their collections for Spring/Summer 2016.  Paris fashion week is over now and I am inspired and thinking about the next season!
