Louis Vuitton x Mos Def

Louis Vuitton’s new campaign stars Yasiin Bey, aka Mos Def, reciting some of Muhammad Ali’s speeches, as a tribute to ‘The Greatest’. Created by Ogilvy Paris and directed by Stuart McIntyre of Steam Films, the vides see Bey moving inside a dark, sinister, boxing ring recounting two poetic speeches made by the boxing legend while graphics from Niels Show Meulman elaborate on the words.  The campaign comprises a dedicated website containing recordings of Ali’s notorious speeches, and photos. Two more films are set to follow in Autumn, “Float” and “Life”.

Wishlist: Louis Vuitton Waffle Maker

Don't really have to say much about this. Designed by  LA-based artist Andrew Lewicki, who has previously designed Oreo Cookie shaped manhole covers. If you can't afford to have a Louis on your arm, I guess second best is in your stomach?

Marc Jacobs S/S 2013 Lookbook

Marc Jacobs, American fashion designer and creative director of Louis Vuitton, has provided a preliminary glimpse at his Spring/Summer 2013 collection as part of Milan Fashion Week. The collection harmonises a nostalgic memory of Bugsy Malone, inspiration drawn from the F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender is the Night, and an echo of the French Riviera. Expect to see a line boasting carefully tailored suits, piercing pinstripe, 

trilbies (which I’m usually completely hostile towards), belted trench coats and a sprinkling of all-over colourful, summer appropriate prints to accompany your lychee mojito on the beach. Plus, it's always pleasant to see Cole Mohr in a tux. 

Just some of the collection:
