louboutin x lippmann
i’m not exactly sure if this is so bad that it is nice or if it’s just nice but that’s certainly interesting. shoe-god christian louboutin made those images with photographer peter lippmann for the second time now. the first try was around the still lives, this one is obviously referencing the dutch paintings, it’s not as good as guido mocafico’s ones but it’s including a product which is kind of a nice try (a bit hit & miss thought). by pp.

vans+hermes or the other way round
i know it’s been around a lot on blogs but that’s really cool whatsoever. stylist robert verdi (no idea who the guy is and seeing what comes up when google him, not sure i want to know) anyway, he had his entry at vans and a stack of hermes scarves which turned into those fab shoes. ok that’s a bit futile and too much for an everyday use but some people can get away with it can’t they? by pp.
made-to-measure sneaks: it’s worth the feit
for approx $300 you can get your very own made-to-measure sneaks. now that’s a deal! unfortunately most of the styles are neither chic nor simple, but love the idea of made to measure sneakers. well be looking for future models and will be available to consult, you’ll just have to take a number. a good pair is always worth the feit. by dd
