RALPH LAUREN S/S 11 FEATURING OLLIE EDWARDS

Featuring Ollie Edwards for the S/S 2011 collection for Ralph Lauren.

I have always loved Ralph Lauren campaigns. While the styling is obviously modern it's the grainy photography that reminds me so much of 1980s fashion that I miss. Plus his suiting has always had a very specific aesthetic often adding pinstripes and a double-breast that belongs somewhere between Wall street and American Psycho. Even his model looks a little removed and unreachable.

MISSONI AND HAVAIANAS COLLABORATION

Surely set to race out of stores the minute they are available, Missoni have teamed up with 'slop' greats Havaianas to produce the above photographed shoes. And not only have they done their own version of the classic flip-flop but also a great espadrille and we already know the espadrille is likely to follow though for another season or two.

KIM JONES FOR LOUIS VUITTON

With all the negativity surrounding Dior's fallout with Galliano we should focus rather on something positive, like the new position that Kim Jones has filled. In 2008 he was selected as Creative Director of Dunhill and now it has been confirmed that Jones will replace Paul Hebler as Style Director of Louis Vuitton's men's ready-to-wear division. Having had experience with McQueen, Mulberry and Hugo Boss I look forward to seeing what he comes up with for Louis Vuitton.
