If you’re looking for a way to treat yourself during Dry January, Louis Vuitton can help. The French designer (following a staggering men’s show in Paris — more on that later) just released a new series of stainless steel wireless headphones designed with New York-based audio brand Master & Dynamic. The two first released a collection of earbuds last year but the latest range offers an improved audio experience and fresh design.
The new color styles include red, yellow, and pink in addition to the monochromatic black and white options. Each pair is engraved with Louis Vuitton’s signature LV monogram and embellished with some intricate floral details as a nod to the heavy botanical theme of Spring/Summer 2020 collection. The headphone’s acoustic experience has been upgraded and battery life has been extended from 10 to 30 hours with two additional 10-hour charges stored within the charging case. On top of that, a new noise-canceling feature lets you block out the world’s background noise while an ambient listening mode allows you to stay aware of your surroundings.
The Louis Vuitton Horizon headphones are available in select stores and online now.
In time for its Fall/Winter 2020 men’s runway show in Paris this week, Loewe has released its next advertising campaign featuring athlete and activist Megan Rapinoe easily recognized for her hot-pink hair. The advertisements are displayed on a series of billboards across Paris.
Shot by Steven Meisel, as a continuous collaboration between the brand and creative studio M/M, the campaign is a trip through character analysis, fashion, and the signature product images — in this case the Puzzle bag in brown calf. Rapinoe, the American professional soccer player and captain of the United States’ team during 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup is featured as the character image. Her natural forces of nature coincide with those of the brand always confronting their customers with honesty and bravery. Further imagery features a set with three models interacting in an enclosed frame. With evident spacial distortion, performance-like positioning, and desire to make the models look like one another, a short film explains into this setup.
Daily Paper‘s Fall/Winter 2019 collection taps into the increasingly popular early ’00s trend. Focusing their attention particularly on Afrofuturism, the collection is comprised of technical suits, blue and green snake print items, checked patterns, and tie-dye prints. The campaign itself was even shot on a martian like set with sand-like surface and disco-balls haphazardly rolling around. Daily Paper’s intent with this collection was a call to nostalgic futurism — a concept that was innovative then but is rather an indicator of the past now. The brand also kept loyal to their African culture offering a bit of a dandy-vibe with formal, yet funky suiting. Check out our selects from the collection above.
