Jones

Lebanese designer Elie Saab has long been a leading name in haute couture in the Middle East, where his romantic, crystal-encrusted gowns attracted princesses to his Beirut atelier, opened in 1982 when he was just 18 years old. His ready-to-wear line, which launched in 1998 in Milan, heralds the same feminine aesthetic as his couture dresses, with brightly colored silks, chiffons, pearl beading, and embroidered lace. With their Middle Eastern detailing and European sensibility, Saab gowns are also at home on the Hollywood red carpet; Halle Berry famously wore one to pick up her Academy Award in 2002.

无极黑

明年就要拉开“Louis Vuitton杯”美洲杯帆船赛三十周年的序幕，为了纪念这个美好的时刻，LV的创意总监Kim Jones执掌LV男装的第三个系列中，“大海”毫无疑问地成为了主题。LV两大品牌图腾——旅行与奢华，与大热运动风相结合，为LV探险家们既提供了去深海潜水、驾驶快艇的着装，也能让他们穿着燕尾服来个优雅的烛光晚餐。

　　Jones天生会用做衣服来讲故事：奢华感的双排扣剪裁西装，满足了LV男士们商务日的着装要求；装饰有鳄鱼皮的套头衫不仅有着周末的休闲感，保持奢华质感的同时还让他们看上去很像是一个皮革艇救生员。接着，男模们穿上柠檬黄的雨衣和救生衣款的背心去远航，背着一个多功能的登山包，讲述了一段徒步旅行的故事。最后LV男士们身着潜水服面料的谨慎套装，搭上了“LV号”奢华游艇的便车，帅气十足。正如Jones所说：“在LV，没有什么是不可能的！”

　　Jones解释到本季设计灵感来源于自己在印尼和泰国旅游时的所见所想，以及在日本当地买回来的纪念品，加上博罗古老的手工技术，让针织在革新手法中保持一个永无止境的循环。大量的使用补丁手法，破旧的博罗夹克、衬衫、短裤在线条明快的剪裁中，更加证明了Jones无限的想象力和创造力。

　　即使他带来的水手男们在*日里还是远穿着光鲜的西服套装亮相城市的大街小巷，但Jones还是决定要做一套夹克，当做礼物送给这些选手。整个系列中，最讨喜的当属那件单排扣的纱织绒白色西装，柔软的手感和珍珠做的按扣，会提醒那些购买的人们，这是一套为沙滩冒险家们特制的衣服。
