The new Takashi Murakami+Louis Vuitton collaborative collection was first launched on June 1st at the Brooklyn Museum exclusively for the Murakami Exhibition. It’s a huge collection made of bags, scarfs, leather goods, shoes and much more that combines the famous Louis Vuitton monogram and the Murakami camouflage. I checked Ebay and I found many collection’s items so, if you are ready to spend 400$ for a leather belt, go there and bid!
Jessica Louise clothes are young, colorful and stylish and we adore her here at Set Your Style.
She grew up and lived in the Bay Area her entire life up until the age of 25 which is when she moved to Los Angeles.
Her custom clothing designs, much like the artist herself, are equal parts punk rock power and fairy-tale girliness. As a product of ann artistic family, with a clothing designer for a godmother, the creative life came naturally to her. Basic formal training in the arts, and her years of experience working for style icon Betsey Johnson, gave Jessica Louise a solid foundation from which to take on the fashion industry, but her thriving apparel business has been built largely through hard work and hands on experience. She draws energy and inspiration from her close network of friends who are creators themselves - artists, musicians, jewelry designers, and the like. The business side of the business is run by Sean Starkey, her amazing husband, while she deals with everything creative. Actually, she do cut and sew many things herself. Chances are nine times out of ten if you are ordering something from her online she made it just for you. But her custom creations are especially coveted by a clientele of high-profile celebrities, including many in the music world who seek her out to create special designs for their performances and world tour.

They are cute and funny. They look like a toy but they are USB Flash Drives which can store up to 8 GB! These ones above are from Friends with you and Tokidoki but on mimoco online shop you will find many more cool ones.
The creative manifest of Baum und Pferdgarten is to differ from the masses both in design and in process.The collections from Baum und Pferdgarten give women an opportunity to express themselves individually by offering a combination of a classic styles and avant-garde pieces which can be mixed accordingly to the individual taste or occasion. The designer duo, Rikke Baumgarten and Helle Hestehave, like to approach their designs with a touch of irony and humour - and hence their signature is somewhere in between harmony and quirky playfulness. Above my favourite from their current collection. The mixes burnt sienna , purple,lilac and the silver skirt with a classic shirt are really cool.

KMRii the Japanese accessories brand based in Bali, Indonesia, was born from a world of untamed creativity in the year 2000.
KMRii’s creator Lui Onozaki draws influences from his years of world traveling, whether it is a re-creation of an antique industrial element or an indigenous artifact. Each piece clearly belongs inside a life of unconventional refinement, meticulously handcrafted from select materials, utilizing cutting edge treatments and techniques.
For Spring 2008, the military influence is very apparent with the choice of army green as the color palette and the grenade shaped purse.

Lee Broom describes his exclusive six piece collection of illuminated furniture as ‘art that is ultimately functional’. The collection explores the use of neon to highlight the delicate lines of traditional furniture. The result is theatrical meeting of two materials to extraordinary effects.
