Louis Vuitton is more than just a monogrammed label: it’s a lifestyle and a fashion statement.

At the Spring 2009 Louis Vuitton collection held at the runways of Paris just recently, Marc Jacobs called the show reminiscent of a Little Parisienne princess. Which is completely and utterly brilliant.

From the obi-belted dresses and suits to the glittery sweaters and wide legged pants, there is definitely something here that every woman would die to have, unlike other collections which seems to be only suitable for the Gossip Girls or SATC cast.

Here’s the lil’ Parisienne princess look from the LV Spring 2009 collection:

If you will ask designer Karl Lagerfeld about what the word ‘blurred’ means – his answer would be that things are not always quite as they seem.

That’s exactly Karl Lagerfeld’s theme for the Spring 2009 collection which was showcased at the runways of Paris. If you’re a lover of black-and-white fashion, you will more than have your fill of it.

Futuristic body jewelry, geometric cuts and ‘futuristic’ pieces were the other highlights of the collection. Is the designer trying to blur the lines between fantasy and reality?

Judge the collection for yourself.

What do you have? The Yohji Yamamoto Spring 2009 Collection, which graced the runways of Paris recently.

Yohji is part of the trio of Japanese designers ruling the fashion industry, which includes Issey Miyake and Comme des Garçons’ Rei Kawakubo. But as compared to the other two designers, Yohji is the most playful designer – and black and white are the predominant colors in his designs.

If you’re looking for something that’s subtly chic, don’t watch a D&G runway show.

At the recent D&G French Fashion Spring 2009 collection which was shown at the Milan Fashion Week, the designs of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were fun, chic, unabashedly sexy and unapologetically flashy.

NY Fashion describes the D&G look well:

Devastatingly sexy, fetishistic designs and a characteristically Italian aesthetic; every collection would look at home on the set of a Fellini movie.

Check out what the collection for yourself and tell us what you think:

U2, The Rolling Stones, Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love and P.J. Harvey – these are just some of the bigwigs in Rock and Roll that designer Todd Lynn has dressed.

At least, he used to be. In 2006, his menswear collection was launched and it showcased the easy, dark and beautiful rock and roll cool that his music industry heavy hitters have long appreciated.

Will we see similar themed clothes on his Spring 2009 collection? Check out what the “music industry’s well-kept secret” has in store for us:

Todd Lynn did a lot of eye-trickery for this collection. Check out this first outfit – it looks like a shorts-suit but it’s actually just one whole piece which looked layered.
