LV men's F/W 2007 runway review

i've just been drooling over most of the stuff since photos came out last week. the first thing that hit me is the similarity to the colour palette they used in the men's Spring/Summer collection back in 2003:

although the latter is more 80's dandy as the former is Discovery Channel.

im not a t-shirt kind of guy, but i think i might just have to have these:

rather Pradaesque don't you think?

let's now move on to the bags:

i quite like the shape of this bag. it reminds me of my Mono Glace Bobby with handles. it looks like they're continuing the Cuir Bequia line into Fall with it's distinct square perforations and platted zipper pulls. the Monogram Canvas versions aren't bad either:

as much as i love my Vail Blanket Cabas, im not too sure about this felted wool version though:

in dreams this bag shall remain for me:

i also like these huge leather hobos:

the stripes recall the striped runway artist Jim Lambie did for the F/W '06 show:

could these bags possibly be another Jim Lambie collaboration?

and lastly.... LV seems to be pioneering evening bags for men:

i don't see myself wearing them out in public, but i sure as hell love these metal minaudiƩres. it's got "highly collectible" stamped all over it - an instant must have in my books.

that's it for now. a new feature bag will follow soon.... stay tuned.
