While browsing some of Milan Fashion Week‘s Spring 2010 collections, I came across I Love LV‘s spotlight on the Louis Vuitton‘s footwear lineup. When describing the label’s Spring 2010 display, Tim Blanks said, “There were prints that suggested worn urban surfaces, and striking footwear that looked like graffitied sequins.”

Giorgio Armani recently opened a new flagship store in Tokyo, Japan by Roppongi Hills. Designed by Armani himself, the store features many limited edition commemorative items and a lineup of the latest from the label’s collections. The boutique also features 3 VIP lounges for any men who may need some personal assistance.
Hypebeast turns us to Junya Watanabe‘s 2010 Spring Ready-to-Wear collection, consisting of some highly-anticipated pieces. “The lineup, defined as snobby by the famed designer, paired a variety of essentials into a comprehensive collection of contemporary menswear. Highlighting the new seasonal selections from Watanabe were finely crafted trench coats, blazers, and jackets accented with crisp fitted shirts and trousers.” Is that a gingham blazer/hat combo we see?

Belgian interior design studio BEAVERHAUSEN created the interior for Waffles Sneaker Delicacies shoe store located in Brussels, Belgium. “A very clean white space was designed for the Waffles sneaker store in Brussels. We took the name litteraly in order to create a world that breaths waffles. The wall behind the counter and the counter itself are covered with white tiles to give the space a bakery feeling. The shelves are simplified waffle shapes made out of coated foam. The cut-aways in the waffle shapes proudly present colourful shoes. This creates a delicious contrast while a mirror behind every cut-away shows us the other side of each shoe. And to top it all, a special waffle perfume will make your feet hungry.”
The design is clean and refined, and all the products are presented in an inviting setting, leaving us to wonder what American shop compares?
