Harry Potter Runway

Hey everybody! I’m sorry I wasn’t able to post yesterday.  I got into a fight with the computer, but as you can clearly see, I came out the victor! Lol   Now, my Tuesday evening was spent pulling out my winter clothes and putting my summer clothes away for the year, and while doing so, Marc Jacob’s crossed my mind.  I kept seeing his campaign in my head for his Louis Vuitton Autumn/Winter 2012-2013 collection for women.  I’m honestly not sure if I’ve ever had one particular collection on my mind before, and the fact that it was on my mind, intrigued me.  So instead of relaxing with my hot cup of chamomile and my current Nora Roberts novel, I set the book aside and I decided to look up the full show on YouTube, since I had already seen the campaign video.


Now maybe not to y’all, but to me, it made me think of the Harry Potter series, and the minute you see the clothes, you’ll understand why.  The clothes had a throwback feel, and were whimsical with classic lines, yet still felt modern.  The colors were rich and the fabric whispered luxury.  Most of the time when I view a collection, there’s only a couple of pieces that stand out to me or that I put on my wish list. But with this collection, there was at least one piece from every model that I wanted.  Crazy right?  I really, really, really want one of the hats…  I love hats and I want a pair of the sunglasses too in black.  I just loved it all.  This was probably one of my favorite shows that I’ve ever watched.  It was theatrical with amazing clothes and I loved it.  He started off by setting the stage as an old train station, much like the one in Harry potter, and having an actual train pull the models in for the show (which rumor has is it was built by his team, by hand).  With the lighting and the amazing clock that seemed to glow like a magical moon, it appeared the train was arriving at night.  Each model was escorted off the train and each had her own attendant to carry her personal luggage.  Oh, and may I say the luggage was incredible?   It was like watching a play and it made me wish there was more.

Could you imagine watching a real train pull in, steam and all?  I would’ve given almost anything to see this one in person.  Kudos to who came up with the concept!  Now I also looked at the show for the men’s line, and while I like the clothes, I wasn’t impressed by the show.  The clothes for the men had the same throwback feel as the women’s did, and like the women, they had a modern feel, and I adored the hats for the men.
 
 

Time for me to get out of her, but I hope ya’ll enjoyed the videos and the pictures and got as much of a kick from them as I did!

Blessed Be
