Calvin Klein

Calvin needed his own post, these windows, the shoes...oh my word the shoes. I've said it before and I'll say it until my other dream apartment comes together in my head, this is what I want my life to look like eventually. The Calvin Klein aesthetic with an Akris wardrobe [and Calvin too] on the UES. But I'll gladly settle for half of this in a West Village apartment in the meantime. Return to the West Village 2012? I'm bored of the LES after moving here, womp. Anywaysssssss, just enjoy the shoe porn because it's the best it's been in awhile.

All the accessories awards in fashion need to go to the CK team, in case you weren't clear on how seriously incredible I think the team is. Sign me up for the bags [better than the current Celine and YSL jizzfest happening over basic bags], the sunglasses [because round is still my obsession], and the shoes [screw the Versace porn star obsession, all the Louboutins that have a heel, and everyone else thinking they have a chance.] Calvin has been producing flawless shoes each season since 09 in my opinion, I was reviewing them last week and they still hold. I can't say the same for other items I've been obsessed with over the past 3 and almost a half years!

The little tag hanging with the way the sunglasses are open? I shed a tear, and not because I was dying from being frozen.

I love how they create this desert mountain feeling, major.

Dior, Bally

Oh Dior, new windows please. Changing some clothing around isn't really cool for the new year and a new store! If I was ever to write window laws, because you know...I'm authorized like that, I would make that #6. You'll have to wait for the other ones because it's my secret plan and I can't give away the top top ones.

Bally is epic this week. I'll just leave it at that, such a great effort and it just all falls in perfectly.

YSL, Burberry, Miu Miu, Chanel

Honestly, I don't know who could ever live up to Vuittons incredible windows from the other day, especially a store that doesn't care. YSL, this is just really sad. Pathetic even.
YSL
Misfire I still enjoyed because the heel completely disappeared from the shot.
IMG_6777
Looks cheap, sorry YSL, try harder. Or just remind yourself, this is not acceptable for a Gucci Group owned brand.
IMG_6778
Burberry is all about colours and bringing that lovely pop into beige clothing. At least they're trying?
IMG_6779
IMG_6780
That belt needs to find its way to my apartment and into my closet, right now.
IMG_6781
I feel like Miu Miu has really given up recently, really? This is boring.

Yawn.

I'm sure if you go to a local airbrush artist, you too can have this exact print on your white Hanes tee for spring.

I'm kind of pathetic, you put an anchor on something and it's sold to me. This is exactly where my dumb weakness gets me into trouble. It's a super lame and annoying detail on the bag but I'm in love because of 1 little tiny anchor. Forgive me for being lame but at least I know when I'm dead wrong for loving something.
IMG_6796
Hot glue guns are going to be the must have item for resort this season. DIY is written all over this weird bikini top, that probably would be best for Valentino at this point.

Even the mannequin doesn't look into this look.

This bracelet needs to not, ever. Stay in the store, no one buy it.

Louis Vuitton

I feel Kanye levels of excitement for these windows. Full disclosure, these were originally created and released for the new Vuitton Bond Street when it opened in England last year. I only witnessed the greatness in photos and am so honored that the Vuitton team has chosen to gift New York with this level of creativity and perfection. This is a perfect window, art, branding, re-branding, amazing lighting, lux, and original. The animals are made out of Vuitton scraps of fabrics and metals, in cases, going up 2 stories which means some aren't shot but I did my very best to get 80% of each animal close up. Can I live inside these windows? Just to see people react? I'm in awe, I almost fell backwards onto a car because I kept moving further back to just take it all in finally. This is why I need to travel the world and do this for a living...just saying. Maybe I won't back into almost moving cars and almost die.

Ugly shoes don't even bring down this perfect window. It's not the visual teams fault the resort collection is all sorts of dnw.

Now for the animals!
IMG_6743
This snake is so incredible, the fangs, I can't deal with how incredible each piece is.
IMG_6744
The tongue!!
IMG_6745
I'm a cancer, this one should be mine. Right?
IMG_6747
The hands!! How is this so perfect, I don't understand.

Still my favorite collection ever, Richard Prince reissues please when I can afford it. Give me at least 5 years though--a life in fashion doesn't really pay that well yet.

This needs a moment, if not it's own paragraph. The giraffe has it's toes studded out with Vuitton studs. The attention to detail is breathtaking and almost intimidating. Everyone else needs to step their hot glue gun action.
IMG_6767
Adorable labels.
IMG_6768
Epic. I'm so sad that the weather has been horrible in NY, poor dirty windows.
IMG_6770
Look at this detail!!

Geoffrey the Giraffe has never looked more chic.
