Louis V has a swagger like no other.  He seems to always be a step ahead with his line of clothing. It speaks of enriching material with sleek looks.  Coming down the runway there is always a demand in the middle of the floor which makes his style the focal point of the fashion industry.  As we know Louis V has always been popular in every community we can think of. From the urban/hip hop world to the upscale communities. Spring 2008 was marked as the year Louis V feels there will be no competition. The colors in this line exude the reflections of a clear sky along with the cherry oak wood color of the forest.  Appealing to the eye he makes the clothes flow as if they are weightless but makes them fit like a second layer of skin. Every outfit is accented with a bag that shows class and maturity.  Matching the burnt oranges with the chestnut browns, also the sky blues with the browns along with the cream colored pieces lets you know that he is in charge and loves to stand out. From the button down dress that seems to blouse the body with its material to the straight-legged pants that fell together alongside the body. Sometimes forgotten are the shoes that are matched with the ensemble but Louis V made a comfortable statement by adding the sandals which are very stylish and right for the occasion.

“Wow” this 2008 the fashion industry collides with the TOMB RAIDER staring John Galliano. His trends are very unique, and have their own style.  Excitement takes over as you view the line of clothing. It is very much urban meets gothic without the darkness. The style is very masculine  yet grungy. Not in a bad way but in a grungy good way. Throughout the Spring line he manages to put in a sleek suit with a nice form fitting shirt that compliments the male physique.  The clothing stands out with its unlimited amount of pockets and buckles with straps going along the sides and across the body.  From the coats and jackets to the baggy pants the pieces exude a military ambiance. From the satin bondage pants and taffeta coats to the multi-pocketed nylon military jackets. No mistake in what point he strives to get across. If you always felt that our country’s military uniforms were something you took pride in then you can sample one of the pieces in this collection and get a taste of what it would feel like. If you want to enjoy what you wear while having fun but want to stand out and be different, go snatch some Galliano pieces up and live life to the fullest.

Straight from the headquarters in Milan, I am glad to bring to you the D&G Spring 2008 collection. Mr. Domenico Dolce and Mr. Stefano Gabbana as we know are both very popular and well recognized when it comes to the fashion industry. From Madonna to Issabella Rossellini they love designing for Hollywood stars. The D&G line however, was created with a more urban outlook. This look is to set the trends and not follow them. As you will be able to see in the Spring 2008 collection, it is all about the zippers and the abundance of pockets that outline the clothing giving it a dramatic sense of style.  Not only does the Spring 2008 line set itself apart from the other designers it creates a chic, grungy, one of a kind, and classy punk rock style that does not go overboard. This is the design that I believe brings it all together and defines the word style and creative fashion.  The coat exudes a unique design as the silver buttons outline and cover the collar, while making a path way down the sleeve of the coat which comes together at the end. On the inside flap of the chest it continues to show off the buttons as well as the outside of the coat.  With a belt forming at the bottom it fastens the coat which highlights the coat along with the vast zippers and pockets. Here are more designs from the Spring 2008  collection.

Next weeks feature designer will be Louis Vuitton!
