The fashionologie reports ...

..."First Image of Fall 2009 Madonna for Louis Vuitton Campaign Leak —What is being called "Part Deux" of Madonna's run at Louis Vuitton — for Fall 2009 — was photographed by Steven Meisel on April 24, as confirmed by Madonna's manager, and consists of at least seven images of Madonna in long boots and gloves, a few dresses mainly in blue and magenta, the bunny ears atop her head, holding a different bag in each shot. She leans on a sofa or is seated in an armchair with a curtain in the background, and apparently there's a video, too." I will be very curious to see the rest of the campaign... i'm not sold on the pose [at all] it seems so "mannequin-esque" and {not in a good way}... so I think I will have to see the rest of the campaign to give any kind of full-on-judgment. =) xo xo :el fano:

Champagne No 5

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT THIS COCKTAIL EXISTED?

..." The Bar With No Name' aims to replicate the one of the most famous scents in perfume history. Inspired by a certain Parisian fashion house, Cocktail No.5 is a Champagne cocktail served in a bespoke flute with a wide brim allowing extra room for the bubbles to release." wow!!!!!!!!!!! it sounds amazing and delicious!!! :]

DAVID LYNCH + DANGER MOUSE + SPARKLEHORSE = Dark Night of the Soul

DAVID LYNCH & DANGER MOUSE
Images from David Lynch[s] "Dark Night of the Soul", [the director's audio visual collaboration with Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse.]

.... [from david lynch about the images... " I love troubled characters, I love the human condition, I love stories that reflect those things, but I don't set out to do those certain things. I suddenly get ideas and then I go 'whoa, cinema can do a fantastic thing with that, or a song, or a painting' and then I go to work." ... we all know what a HUGE Lynch fan I am ... and i think this collaboration between all these artists would make [and I am sure MAKES] for an amazing art-exhibition-listening-visual experience! xo xo :el fano:

[you gotta LOVE it!] ENJOY! xo xo :el fano:

The Day Before - a fashion documentary

We all love a good FASHION Documentary! =) [right?]
Well starting on Wednesday, September 9th, the Sundance Channel will air a 4 night documentary series call " The Day Before" [ @ 10pm ]

"The four-part series, which begins...wait for it...the day before New York Fashion Week in September, was directed by Loic Prigent, the fashion journalist behind the very brilliant documentary Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton. According to company reps, "The series covers the global fashion calendar - from Sonia Rykiel’s 40th anniversary celebration in Paris in October to Proenza Schouler in New York in February, Fendi by Karl Lagerfeld in Milan in March, and Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture show in Paris in July - capturing designers at this key moment when creativity and business come together. Each house has its own unique energy, mood, character and rhythm - and its colorful moments of panic, last minute inspiration and ego-unleashing."

I'm really excited for this as I LOVED the "Marc Jacobs & Louis Vuitton" documentary ... [perhaps a little to much, since some one I know {el fano} designed the premier invitation! {ha} perhaps] !? Heee ... [lol] .. anyway.. YES!! i am very excited to see!! perhaps we can get a glimpse at a Lagerfeld temper-tantrum!! HA! [god I'd love that!] :) [lol]

Thank you to the sundance channel for the image! xo xo :el fano:

The collaboration between Takashi Murakami, Pharrell Williams, and Jacob & Co. was [un]veiled at Art Basel, and it sold for [are you ready for this]???... $2 million dollars. The piece, entitled "The Simple Things," ...features [7] of Pharrell's favorite items: "Johnson's Baby Lotion, condoms, Doritos, ketchup, a can of Pepsi, a cupcake, and a sneaker, re-created in metal and diamonds. Lots and lots of diamonds". You just [gotta] LOVE IT!! ha ha ha! ENJOY THE CLIP!!! xo xo :el fano:

Ménage à OUTRAGE?

Ha! oh man, I love reading articles where people are "outraged" by the new CALVIN KLEIN Jeans AD [depicting 3 dudes and a lady] I mean hasn't Calvin been pushing the envelope since... always!?! I mean, Is this AD really "too much?" IDK? perhaps my mind is warped but...i feel that I have seen worse! [right]??? ... but, its funny that there is a BAN in manhattan to take it down .. all of those people on HOUSTON having their eyes burned out viewing the "sin" that is displayed before them! HA HA HA! it just makes me giggle! [ps: they should take a clue from the dude on the floor... just sleep it off!!] :-) xo xo :el fano:
