Today is a huge day for Louis Vuitton, and a monumental one for its loyal followers. For the first time in the luxury brand's history, LV will introduce an item exclusively online.

The "Totally Monogram" tote (right) is now available in three different sizes, and better yet, the chic carryall is fashionable, functional and clickable. A new spring bag delivered to your door -- it doesn't get much better than that.

And, since the tote doesn't debut in retail stores until June 1st, you can beat the masses and snap one up before they're gone.

Madge has arrived!!! And not surprisingly, she made a grand entrance to The Met's Costume Institute Gala in Louis Vuitton (whose campaign she is currently the face of and will be again next season).

The fashion chameleon (right) wore a ruched taffeta bubble-hem dress with Wicked Witch of the West thigh-high boots.

There were a few nods to her Material Girl past: black fingerless gloves, a diamond cross pendant and "Borderline"-esque rabbit ears. (Don't let the retro antenna-like hairpiece fool you, this star is definitely in high definition!)

Earth Day Round-up

Filed under: Green Fashion

Earth from the apollo space craftThe fashion industry is promoting guilt-free shopping today in honor of Earth Day. Designers really want you to reduce your eco-footprint by purchasing their various wares. (Aww, isn't that sweet?) Here's how:

  • Target's first eco-friendly designer collaboration, Loomstate for Target, has hit stores just in time for you to pull together your edgy, organic-cotton look for Earth Day fetes.

  • Looking to add to your monogrammed luggage set? If you shop online at Louis Vuitton today, the luxury retailer will donate 15% of all purchases on their US website to The Climate Project. FYI, The Climate Project is an organization founded by Al Gore, who also helped invent the internet. (How's that for synergy?)

  • Pretty Little Thing NYC is selling a globe necklace to commemorate the planet's special day. The rest of the year, the globe revolves around you ... er, your neck. A portion of the proceeds from these babies are going to The Wilderness Society.

  • Did you know Donna Karan is a total natural wellness hippie? Check out this video of Donna explaining some of the techniques and benefits of holistic medicine and her new project Urban Zen. BTW, she's designed a bunch of awesome tees that benefit charity, available exclusively at Tonic.

  • Keds has revamped their classic kicks for Earth Day. Not only are their Green Label shoes made of organic cotton and recycled rubber, but for each pair sold, Keds plants a tree. Friday is Arbor Day people!

  • Anthopologie hooked up with Edun (the brainchild of Bono's wife Ali Hewson) for a line of Bee Tees. These 100% organic tees will bring awareness to the alarming disappearance of honeybees. All while making you look fashionable and socially-conscious, of course.

  • Don't throw out your old cosmetic containers. Origins has teamed up with Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford to launch a cosmetics recycling program. All Origins counters (even the ones inside department stores) will accept empty cosmetic containers from any brand.

Rossy de Palma Presents Louis Vuitton Hand Fan Collection

Filed under: Accessories

We all want designer accessories -- don't try to deny it. And if you're ready to make the splurge, it can be tough to decide what you want. Will it be a handbag? Shoes? Sunglasses? A hand fan?

Designers Drop Prices to Get Right with Your Wallet

Filed under: Style in the News, Steals and Deals

closeup of Lacoste alligatorWondering how you're going to afford your next piece of designer clothing? Good news, you might not have to donate plasma after all. Taking a cue from last year's brutal (for retailers) holiday season, designers like Lacoste, Coach and a host of others will be dropping their price points significantly. The idea is to avoid another winter of retailers marking their wares down 70% -- which is not so good for a designer's ego.

Kanye's LV Sneaks Will Cost You a Grand

Filed under: Shoes, Celebrities with Style

Kanye at Fashion Week wearing a formal military jacketFor those who've been eagerly awaiting details on the top secret sneakers that the Kanye West designed for Louis Vuitton, the wait is over. Photos and pricing info has been uncovered by the sneakerphiles at Nice Kicks, and apparently the numbers have all been confirmed. Not that this comes as a surprise, but if you want a pair of these Kanye-designed shoes, you're going to have to cough up nearly $1,000.

Michelle Monaghan and Mary Alice Stevenson at the amfAR New York Gala - Double StyleFoul

Celebrity StyleFoul

    The NME awards are notorious for eccentric fashion choices, but none of them could compare to the outfit "created" by "music artist" La Roux. Wow.

    Naomi's extra-long gown at the Vanity Fair Oscar afterparty seemed familiar. So we checked and, sure enough, we had seen it before -- on Daryl Hannah in the 1984 hit movie Splash!!

    Everett Collection/Getty Images

    Michelle Monaghan sports an orange Louis Vuitton dress with a sequined side cut out. And tulle. And net. And mesh. And matching LV shoes with feathers. Will it ever stop?

    Getty Images

    Keira Knightley's smug expression is just begging us to judge this outfit that's somehow too small and too big at the same time.

    Getty Images

    We just have two questions: Why is Tilda Swinton wearing the human flesh dress made by serial killer Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs? And couldn't she at least have it tailored to fit her?

    Neither the color green nor those unfortunate shoulder pads are helping Jennifer Connelly look any healthier on the red carpet -- girl needs to eat!

    Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, went pattern crazy while playing with the puppies at the Metropolitan Police Dog Training Centre in Cornwall, UK.

    Up-and-coming Australian actress Teresa Palmer is drop-dead gorgeous. The shiny hair, the bright, expressive eyes, the thin-but-not-scary-skinny body ... she seems to have the whole package. Except, maybe, for the whole dressing for the red carpet part.

    Getty Images

    The thing is, we love the fit of this dress -- it's super flattering and classy. And Teresa shines in light colors, so the white and beige is beautiful. But seriously, what is the deal with the beige bra cups?

    Should we get past the weird boob accessories since we love the rest of the look so much? Or are those a deal breaker?

    Getty Images

    Of course Teresa isn't the only celeb who suffers from the occasional red carpet flop. Scarlett Johansson clearly has her off days.

    Oversized gold coat, check. High waisted pants that are way more frumpy than fashionable, check. What the heck was Scarlett Johansson thinking when she wore this outfit to the photocall for The Spirit in Madrid? This outfit is old lady-ish, and not in the sometimes hip Mary-Kate Olsen kind of way.

Nothing promises a Hot Cup O'nutz like an amfAR event, mainly because Sharon Stone usually turns up. Sadly, Lady Stone was MIA at the amfAR New York gala to kick off Fashion Week, but there were plenty of other style-challenged ladies vying for her Crazy Couture Crown.

Of course we had LIZA!, looking kicky and medicated, wearing brown chocolate sequins and JAZZ HANDS!

Taylor Momson walked the red capet looking 45 instead of 15, as usual, in a seafoam Marchesa nightgown of tragic lost dreams.

And Anna Wintour, paired an oddly moth-eaten tiger-like coat with bare legs and open toed shoes -- in New York, in February, with temperatures in the 40s. Perhaps her signature Sneering & Peering Blonde Bob kept her warm.

But all of their efforts paled next to the tag team of Michelle Monaghan and Mary Alice Stevenson. Kudos to the intrepid photographer who conviced them to stand next to each other for photos!

Ms. Monaghan sported an orange Louis Vuitton dress with a sequined side cut out. And tulle. And net. And mesh. And matching LV shoes with feathers. It was a lotta look on a 98 pound frame!

America's Most Smartest Model host, Mary Alice Stevenson, took the budget road. She dug up Estelle Getty and stole the purple and red burial shroud off the Golden Girl's dead body. Then MA went back for Estelle's shoes. Heartless!

The combo of quilting bee accident and grave-robbing together on the red carpet delivered a one-two knockout punch and earned these two ladies a Double StyleFoul!

Make that Martin Louis the Mullet King Jr. - Kanye's Mullet

Filed under: Celebrities with Style, Hair Cut and Style

Kanye performs at the 2009 GrammysFor any of you who missed the coronation of "Martin Louis the King Jr.," formerly known as "The Louis Vuitton Don," Stylelist posted the video a few weeks ago. One thing you might have noticed about the new Kanye West in the video is a vaguely familiar hairdo -- one that showed up again this week at the Grammys. What do they call it again? Oh yeah -- the mullet. Only the most despised and berated hairstyle on planet earth, popularized in the 80's by pro-wrestlers and other goons. Kanye, on the other hand is a very fashionable guy. What gives?

Meet Martin Louis the King Jr.

Filed under: Style in the News


A message from kwest on Vimeo.

Oh, Kanye. Our dear rapper friend has outdone himself once again. Just when we thought his Louis Vuitton moment was over, he goes and creates this nice minute and a half video. Those who have consumed the artist's last four albums should be well aware of the fact that Mr. West has arbitrarily named himself the "Louis Vuitton Don."

Revealed, Kanye West's Hi-Top Louis Vuitton Sneaker

Filed under: Style in the News



Last week, Kanye West's highly anticipated sneaker collection with Louis Vuitton was finally unveiled at the luxury label's menswear presentation in Paris. Not only did front row guests get to see the pearly white low-top shoes that TMZ spotted the rapper donning a while back, but they also caught a first look at the candy-colored hi-tops 'Ye also made for LV.

While the sneakers are admittedly a little too rich for our blood, we imagine lots of luxury consumers and dedicated sneaker heads will be sporting a pair by this summer. Recently, the AP caught up with the man of the hour to discuss his project with LV and as usual, Mr. West doesn't fail to disappoint with the sound bites. Watch and enjoy.

Behind the Scences, Madonna's Spring '09 Louis Vuitton ad Campaign

Filed under: Style in the News



Now, you've already read our lament on Madonna's ads for Louis Vuitton. While we love us some British-sounding Madge just as much as the next person, the whole "I'm being controversial so let me show you my crotch in these ads" thing is pretty annoying, to say the least. Indeed, we were expecting a little something more from this collaboration but the behind-the-scenes video makes up for all of that. In the clip, Madonna and Marc Jacobs -- who is creative director at Louis Vuitton -- playfully bantering back and forth, telling each other how "hot" and "cool" they are. Enjoy the fabulous accessories and tinges of narcissism.

Scarlett Johansson for Dolce & Gabbana

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style

ScarJo has to be the hardest working 24 year old celebrity spokesmodel in Hollywood. She already starred in ad campaigns for Calvin Klein, L'Oreal and Louis Vuitton. Now she's the star of a campaign for the new Dolce & Gabbana makeup line.

    Bar Rafaeli, Leonardo DiCaprio's stunning model girlfriend, is the face of British retailer Marks & Spencer's new lingerie line.

    Pam Anderson's new campaign for Vivienne Westwood is surprisingly hot. The blonde bombshell and her heaving, inflated bosoms aren't usually found in fashion mags -- but the quirky combo of Playboy centerfold and designer threads seems to work.

    Katie and Posh's Dueling Ads
    We know it's tough to tell the difference, but that's Katie Holmes on the left for Miu Miu and Victoria Beckham baring (nearly) all for Giorgio Armani. The campaigns launched within days of one another -- so the question is: who's hotter?

    Miu Miu/Armani

    Madonna for Louis Vuitton
    Anyone else tired of the trademark Madonna crotch shot?

    Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu
    We prefer Katie Holmes, hands down.

    Heidi Klum for Jordache
    The jean company was apparently trying to target the "hot mom" demographic.

    Kate Moss for Agent Provocateur
    Arguably the iconic lingerie maker's most famous star.

    Liv Tyler for Gap

The ads features Scarlett looking just like Marilyn Monroe (because Christina Aguilera and the late, great Anna Nicole Smith haven't quite squeezed every last bit out of that look yet) lying on a suggestively rumpled bed, in a very D&G corset. Clichéd, but very sexy.

Scarlett will be promoting He's Just Not That Into You, and then taking a few months off before her next movie starts. You have to admit, if you were married to Men's Health cover boy Ryan Reynolds, you'd want to hang around the house and wait for him to get out of the shower, too.

The $8,250 LV Skateboard - Stuff We Can't Afford Anyway

Filed under: Stores We Love, Style in the News

Louis Vuitton skateboard and case, part of the Stephen Sprouse CollectionLast time we checked, the economy was tanking and Louis Vuitton was forced to scrap it's ambitious plans for the new year. Then they go do something like this -- and totally redeem themselves. This $8,250 skateboard is part of the "Stephen Sprouse Collection" and it comes with a classic LV embossed case. That's what ... about $200 per kickflip?

Filed under: Style in the News



Hip-hop and sneakers sites alike have all been abuzz for the past twenty-four hours on account of peculiar TMZ clip that has been floating around the net. It stars some random but well-dressed dude, Kanye West, and reportedly the fruits of Ye's sneaker collaboration with the house of Louis Vuitton.
