LOUIS VUITTON X FRANK GEHRY

Posted on 2014-08-27

World-renowned architect, Frank Gehry, winner of the 1989 Pritzker Prize, is turning his talents to the design of window displays for the first time. In September, Louis Vuitton store windows will feature Gehry’s sculptures alongside its autumn-winter 2014 collection.

Strongly inspired by stylish schooners of the past, the sculptures are made from wooden structures covered in metal. “They are like sails filled by a following wind. We’ve called them Wind Wings,” explains the architect.

Bulging oblong, metal hulls are curved, twisted, exaggerated and grouped together. They partially cover one another, rolling against each other, nestled together, caressing one another. They stand like caparisoned horses, or shell-patterned mantillas. They are at once sails and hulls.

From September, the Louis Vuitton window displays will dance on imaginary waves.

THE HUNDREDS X CROSS COLOURS

Posted on 2014-08-18

“Cross Colours is back. Well, the reality is that Cross Colours never quite went away. In the early 1990s, Carl Jones and TJ Walker founded an urban streetwear brand that went against the drab gangbanger workwear of the time, opened the inner-city up to positivity, and introduced baggy pants to the Yo! MTV Raps generation.
Aptly named Cross Colours, the label skyrocketed overnight, draped across the backs of the biggest rappers, actors, and athletes. But as rapidly as Cross Colours propelled into the mainstream, the fire mysteriously extinguished in 1994 just as fast. The question lingers, “Whatever happened to Cross Colours?” Inactive for twenty years, they return with a collaboration with The Hundreds, our opportunity to pay homage to the ubiquitous styles that defined pop culture in the early ‘90s, and theirs to continue the story cut short two decades ago.” – Bobby Hundreds
