Louis Vuitton and Takashi Murakami prepare to end their 12 year partnership by the end of this month.

The collaboration between Murakami and the French luxury brand unveiled its multicolor monogram in 2003 under the direction of Fashion giant, Marc Jacobs. However, when designer, Nicolas Ghesquiere, became Louis Vuitton’s Creative Director in 2013 he had other plans. A sales associate from Louis Vuitton Saks Fifth Avenue shop told WWD,  the collection “leaving stores at the end of July, forever.” With just four days left in the month, the end of this color era is near.

Although it may be difficult to mourn the end of popular collection of bag once worn by celebrities Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and Naomi Campbell, Ghesquiere is looking forward into new monograms for the Fall/Winter 2015-2016 to embody a classic look.

The space was infused with TOUS’ signature pink color scheme. Attendees could also be seen sharing their experience on social media networks, using the hashtag for the evening: #happinessbytous.

But of course, the highlight of the evening was the flawless jewelry on display. The collection sports florals and bright, vibrant colors, perfect for the spring and summer seasons. As beautiful as the pieces were, the designs are unique for their simple and almost traditional feel. The collection features a diverse assortment of pink gold, 18 carat gold, and sterling silver adornments.The Paraiso collection garnered notable attention; which includes a necklace, bracelet and ring, made from sterling silver vermeil, gold plated three times, and hydro-thermal gems.

Meet Thaddeus O’Neil: Designer, Surfer, Poet and Downtown Lover

[slideshow_deploy id=’50291′]

On June 25th, Thaddeus O’Neil took The Standard, East Village by storm with his surfer meets hobo chic collection. DOWNTOWN had the pleasure of being a part of this debut. At the event, we not only got to look through O’Neil‘s rad pieces, but we also had the opportunity to flip through his insanely deep poetry. O’Neil’s SS’14 collection includes some super sweet ultrasuede boardies, among other pieces. Thaddeus coined himself, “hobo of the sea” because his collection gives off that Downtown-meets-surfer-dude vibe, and we just can’t get enough of it. Not to mention, he kills it in the cashmere game with his ultra soft beanies–perfect for a humid day Downtown. All of his pieces are handmade in Japan and the U.S., making each item one of a kind. Check out O’Neil Summer and Fall collection at Saks!
