LESAGE

The story of Lesage was started in 1858, Charles F. Worth opened the first salon about Haute Couture, luckily with the beginning of Haute Couture, Albert Michonet been part of this fashion world. When there was 1924, Albert worked together with Marie-Louise Lesage to up their embroidering to designers such as Paquin, Poiret, Redferm, Madeleine Vionnet, and Elsa Schiaparelli.

1949, François Lesage inherited Lesage Family from his dad, more than fifty years, no matter his skill or this family company both have a great growth. Those fantastic articles of Lesage been the one of the most shining points of  Dior, Givenchy, Yves Saint Laurent, Scherrer, Lacroix, and Gaultier’s collections, sometime our new designers even can find their new ideas from Lesage’s embroidering.

2002, François Lesage made a decision that guided whole Lesage join in Chanel, however, François Lesage can still be the supplier of all luxury brands without control but just can been supported by Chanel to keep their hand-making embroidering. At the same time, Lesage also a cooperation partner of Chanel, just like the relationship between François Lesage and Karl Lagerfeld. Yes, we can see that even François Lesage also start to feet into High-fashion but not only Haute Couture, whereas, this change still the best way, or you can say the best development of this kind old, traditional, classical art.

LEMARIÉ

In 1900, because of the need of hat makers, there had more than three hundred workers who worked with feather, whole this trade union just like a fire in summer, whatever, in 1960, the number of feather workers only 50, and now we can just through Lemarié in Paris to remember this traditional delicate workmanship. Luckily, Chanel absorbed this, one of the most famous hand-make workshops—-Lemarié as a part of it to protect this skillful art in 1996. As we all know that before joined in Chanel, Lemarié got orders from other luxury brands like Valentino, Givency, Versac, Christian Dior,Cristobal Balenciaga, Nina Ricci and so on.

Most important about Lemarié and Chanel is not only those genius feather articles Lemarié up to Chanel’s collections but Chanel’s most famous LOGO—- Camellia. We had saw or heard this must not one time—-the King of Camellia in Karl Lagerfels is Mr. Lemarié. Since 1960s, every year Lemarié got one Camellia order that the number no less than 20,000 no matter which materials Chanel wanted.

Now, let enjoy some Lemarié’s articles which worked with Chanel.

As the top of luxury leather collections offer, BOTTEGA VENETA was a brand under GUCCI, however not like MiuMiu under Prada, and MiuMiu have a much nice price than Prada, BOTTEGA VENETA have a much higher price than Gucci, even than Hermes. We know about this brand most cause of its hand-making leather goods, really and all made by hand workers, cut, twist with their different kind high-quality leather. It sounds just seems other traditional hand-make brands but we must focus on one peculiarity—- BV’s twist skills! It is said one BOTTEGA VENETA handbag need two or three workers spent three to four days at least.

Today we just want to share you another trend of Balenciaga bags, I must say that before this set of photos of this new bag of Balenciaga, about Balenciaga,

most of us just thought out a motorcycle bag, but after these, most of us can might change some ideas about Balenciaga.

Thess photos was took by the gorgeously blue Bahamian beaches, this charming lady—-Megs（a blogger） with her Balenciaga Straw Classic enjoyed her trip besides the beach and we can see that this new good really a fitting scenery for the whole environment and plus its owner’s fascination for this reason so we believe that it a great choice of someone who will have a beach holiday~.

Balenciaga has been around for over 90 years, but the motorcycle bags are merely 10 years old. To celebrate the iconic bags’ decade of existence, the house has created a slew of special 10th anniversary bags with custom limited-edition plaques.

Some of them are exclusive to Neiman Marcus, and one of them is this Balenciaga Animal Print Motorcycle Bag ($1,595). First this metallic finished bags at Neiman Marcus, then the lizard embossed first version, and now an animal print Balenciaga First. And this version is by far the most ‘out there’ of the group, but it is also the one that takes the biggest chance. Like the first-ever set of motorcycle styles created, the studs are small and it has the famous leather strings. Different with those animal print in several season since last year, Balenciaga did a great job on this Balenciaga Animal Print Motorcycle Bag—-even it have the animal print on the surface but it didn’t made by leather and you can find that the trim is calfskin which is offset by hair pony skin with the animal print. but at the same time it can add the perfect amount of dimension and texture to the bag itself.

You can wear it with jeans, heels, and a simple top. I want people to look at it and wonder when exactly Balenciaga made this bag and why. Because let’s face it, this is not a safe choice but really a great choice!

Hotel d’Evreux for Givenchy Dressing

Givenchy 2010 Early Fall Line showed us a special Givenchy, black surface leather and undertone accessory of the new collections we can easily to see that Riccardo Tisci try to up a new Givenchy for its fans in this Fall & Winter season. At the same time, I think all of us shouldn’t miss another famous and traditional Givenchy bag—-I CONIC Bag, Riccardo Tisci chosen different colors and high quality leather to make 2010 I CONIC Bag. Whatever, I must say that these development of G never give a real surprise for me, because in my mind, Givenchy is a brand that always have the most fantasy and romantic designs in their collections, but this year, it seems a little too pragmatism.

Riccardo Tisci published his Haute Couture of 2010 Fall & Winter at Hotel d’Evreux, Paris in 6th July.

Instead of runway show, Riccardo Tisci not only have a break in design but also try a new stage way to show his Haute Couture. For this season Givenchy have ten new dresses, and you can carved up all of them into three parts—- china white, pink and golden.

In my eyes, those dresses just look like pictures of Renaissance, in fact, the soul of them were Frida Kahlo’s printings. Lace, fur, nude color(pink), Riccardo Tisci indeed chosen a greatest place of Givenchy Haute Couture and her bling bling new designs.

Is there have anyone can resist those wonderful artworks?

We had already put so many attentions on those luxury collections, today I want to share you a set of pictures in a forum that drawn by a fan of these brands—-Sami, Louis Vuitton, Chanel Cocoon, Hermes, Lanvin, MiuMiu, Mulberry and YSL and so on. In fact, from these nine hand-drawn pictures we can find that no matter how long time had already passed, all of them are still keep on the top of mountain of fashion. Maybe these nine bags have one commonness —- so simple and so fashion.

From hand drawn pictures, the drawer show us her view about fashion, just as we talked before and in the front of this essay, in this so changeful age and capricious of fashion time, I believe a classical design is a basic brand fan’s best choice. Because when we have luxury goods we might thought not only to outward seeming but also care about its increment.

Now let’s have a close look of Sami’s suggestions

First, Chanel Cocoon, this is a new classical design of Chanel followed 2.55, and this line break some ‘Traditional Chanel’ in it.

Second one, Hermes Briking, this one must be fashion and keep the top one of lady’s most wanted gift list.

Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga, Lanvin, MiuMiu and Mulberry, LV all of them had a great gross sales since they appeared in the show or on the runway, anyway, them had proved their value both in the price and fashion.

Now, it seems we must pay more attention on the trend of Fall & Winter or even early spring of next year yet, however, today I want to catch a kind of bags that my favor—-strap satchel. This bag always appeared in our childhood, it’s huge size and simple outlook can help us enjoyed a lively school time.

Can we still use this special kind handbags when we stepped in society several years and we have a so decent work in other eyes?

This question had been answered by many brands in the spring and summer of 2010. in fact, this trend been branched into three parts:

First, focus on it’s size. We all know that woman is one kind of animals that cannot control their appetites about shopping in anytime anywhere, so have a strap satchel which have a wide strap on shoulder and not so heavy of whole bag is really helpful for us~. Louis Vuttion, Marc Jacobs all have good examples in this situation.

Second, delicate and cabinet. Every lady should have a bag like this, you can have it with your beautiful evening dress or a party, it no need a large size but just big enough to put in your make-up, purse, cell phone and key that you must pick up with you., the most important thing of this bag is it’s surface must being designed and as well as delicate and have a suitable color of your dress. Givenchy and Marc by Marc Jacobs up two different styles in this topic.

Last, for office lady, they have a order about bag’s sharp—-squareness. This kind strap satchel, most important things are details and materials, you can have some ideas about them with Chanel, Chole, Christian Dior and Valentino.
