Ladies, lets turn back the hands of time and celebrate women’s history month in style. Remember your grandmother’s or mother’s old clothing. Sometimes we wonder, why isn’t this back in style? It was back in 1947 when Christan Dior’s “New look” started the era of tight waist shirts and full skirts dropped below the mid calf. This is when it all began, the era of womanhood, self expression and femininity. It’s no surprise this era continues to influence the designers of today. So, whats hot this spring 2012? The 50s are cooking. Check these hot new (or shall I say, old) styles!

On March 9th during Paris’ 2011 Fashion Week, Marc Jacobs showcased the Louis Vuitton Fall 2011 collection. Sculpted jackets, blouses that buttoned up the back and below-the-knee pencil skirts ran through the collection. A miniature plastic mask sat atop the models’ hats.

Whether you’re a lover of Valentine’s Day or avidly anti-pink hearts and PDA, we have a feeling that Louis Vuitton’s Valentine’s Day products will make you swoon.

The Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2011 advertising campaign, photographed by Steven Meisel, features three shimmering models, all emblazoned in an array of bold colors and sparkling textures of clothing. Marc Jacobs drew on his Orient-inspired vision to create a spectacular image of “bad girls” with glossy hair and makeup surrounded by Seventies-influenced décor. A true vision, the campaign will be featured across magazines worldwide in February 2011.

Earth Day is all the rage in the fashion world. In fact, green/organic clothing has experienced a surge in general—as we’ve talked about before. As Earth Day approaches on April 22nd, we note two companies, Rachel Roy and Louis Vuitton, who are taking varied approaches to lend a helping hand to the environment.

This fall, you’re going to look like a naughty school girl from the British highlands who moonlights as an hour glass-figured femme fatale. How is this possible? We break it down for you with five of fall’s must-have trends.

Summer is upon us, and Louis Vuitton has set the tone: psychedelic colors, playful accessories and pop art mania. In two words: Cosmic Blossom. The new line of handbags, bikinis, shoes, ready-to-wear and more is spearheaded by Takashi Murakami, the Japanese artist responsible for the hugely popular reinterpretations of the classic Louis Vuitton monogram bag (such as the Monogram Multicolore). Murakami has applied his sunny sensibility to the new line, and the result is akin to sucking down a pixie stick: flowers in shades of lavender, bubblegum pink, yellow and and teal, technicolor beach cover-ups and Barbie-worthy platforms.
