Gents... mark your calendars

the Louis Vuitton Men's Spring-Summer 2009 runway show is happening on the 26th of June. that's this coming Thursday at 14:30 Paris time.

i really don't know what to expect. hopefully something that would really blow me away. i'd be ecstatic if they finally did an artist collaboration for the boys. that would be a dream come true. my shortlist - though highly unlikely - would be John Currin, Julian Opie, Mel Ramos, Tim Biskup and Gilbert & George. ecclectic selection huh? i just recon these guys are more likely to collaborate and do something that would "suit" with LV than any of my other faves. Mauricio Cattelan? Tim Noble & Sue Webster? Mark Ryden? phffft... most unlikely. Jeff Koons maybe. but just think how much a Jeff Koons for LV bag would retail? Banksy perhaps? hmmm....

but i wouldn't be surprised if Bequia leather will make yet another comeback. hopefully in a great colour if ever. like maybe dark green or navy blue. but if they're going to resurrect a leather, it should be Tobago. i would also LOVE to see the Ouvea chain pattern (see Feature Bag #3) back once again. it is my favourite LV pattern to date. maybe in a nice earthy colour combo like brown/bronze/cream or even just use the other colourway they did back in S/S'06 show but didn't make the final selection (you can spot the one that did in the background):
