Louis Vuitton Spring 2012: Things I Want

Literally right off today's runway at Paris Fashion Week, Kim Jones showed his inaugural menswear collection for Louis Vuitton. I am admittedly not normally drooling over the men's collections from LV but this one had so much that was so good!

There was a very safari-esque vibe, but with some streetwear mixed in, and a lot of scarf action. One of my favorite pieces was this varsity jacket with the "V" emblem on it... and given how many Parisian men I saw wearing varsity jackets last month, they need to get this one to market as fast as possible.

I also really liked the oversized blue and red scarves and they way they were tied to totally envelope the models. I also liked the blue and red shirt -- some nice pattern on pattern.

While these were my two favorite looks, the rest of the collection definitely deserves a view...

Things I Want: Japanese Scarves!

While not very appropriate for the cold Shanghai winter, these scarves from Pure Blue are perfect for Spring in L.A. They're from Japan, which is no surprise since 99.495% of everything hot these days comes from there (except for Band of Outsiders of course).

I'd like to pick up the blue since it seems to be my signature color...

Things I Want: Accessories by Norsea

I saw a collection of accessories by Norsea posted on Men's Rag (http://mensrag.com/) and thought they were really cool. With the recent scarf obsesssion I have been seeing the use of pins or brooches (yes, on men) to secure the scarves.

I think these are great because they look pressed, and they are sterling silver. Now just need to find out how to order one (or three)!
