Searching for super sexy cut-out shoes you can afford? Last year, I stopped breathing when I saw a pair of Givenchy shoes on Nicole Richie and Katie Holmes. I ran over to Barneys and snatched up the last pair,NBA, basically skipping that month’s rent to afford them. They were outrageously overpriced.

"I wanted a sense of bohemian travel, an artist on the move," explained Helbers, after taking his bow with his boss, Vuitton's artistic director Marc Jacobs. Despite having his left arm in a high-tech sling – the result of an operation of his shoulder – Jacobs applauded Helbers for some 30 seconds.

Quite why Vuitton's men's designer Paul Helbers did not actually fly to these places for research, given the fact that this is the world's most profitable luxury company, was a little intriguing. Whatever the reason, the virtual visits – ranging from China to the Amazon – led to best collection so far from Helbers.

"In our experience, if anything, Chinese consumers don't want our version of their culture. They want a more Western Vuitton," Jacobs insisted.

But, when it comes to sportswear chic, Helbers certainly has an eye for a plausible new haute gamme way to travel with style, and in opulent materials. Garments like a sturdy, but beautifully cut buffalo hide blazer, parachute silk jackets or cool silk trousers cut like jogger pants, all looked elegant and super comfortable on a long-haul flight. Plus, a black cut shirt in the Vuitton's classic logo pattern injected a dash of French couture quality.

We got Chinese cutout patterned grain leather bags from Asia and remarkable lizard pattern boots from the Amazon. Though, Jacobs waved off the idea that the Chinese influence was designed to tempt consumers in that market.

The designer called this collection "digital bohemian," but aside from the fact models wore no suits and ties, this was a very patrician view of bohemia.

Vuitton can expect good business at the cash registers with a great new series of totes and chunky weekend bags in a faded green Japanese denim. Other likely hits were shiny tropical green Damier check backpacks and shoulder bags – just the right blend of insouciance and practicality.

Paris – Travel, the essential DNA of Louis Vuitton, was the key to the latest menswear collection from the house, albeit treks of an ephemeral sort, since most of the journeys that inspired this show in Paris on Thursday,Rock Republic, June 24, were taken in the mind.

Of late,Christian Audigier, there have been rumors that this might be Helbers' last collection for the house. Asked whether this could be true, the designer responded: "That's certainly not what I have heard!"

For Vuitton, Helbers has always focused on sportswear, unlike, say, a rival luxury French house like Hermes, which concentrates on updating traditional clothing.

Shown in three sections, Pilati started with the most tailored pieces first, like an all-white pantsuit that called to mind 1970s YSL, a belted denim trench coat and a tailored jacket paired with surprisingly sophisticated bloomers, which turned out to be the defining piece of the collection.

A navy dress with a high waist and an M.C. Escher-like print of butterflies was particularly charming, and later in the show there were prints created from cutout shapes from '70s YSL ads that Pilati used as pendants in his Fall 2010 collection.

For, the third and final section, Pilati circled back to the beginning, with more elegant cocktail fare, with belted printed dresses, a very '70s disco jumpsuit and the final look, a version of Yves Saint Laurent's infamous "le smoking" jacket in black paired with the up-to-the-moment bloomers. Worn with a bathing beauty turban (all the models wore them), it was a pointed lesson on sleek French chic.

Pilati experimented with volume at the shoulders again, as well. Whereas for Fall, he added strips of fringe to the shoulders, reminiscent of a Native American style leather jacket, here the volume was softer, in the form of ruffles outlined with contrasting piping, almost like comic book sketches.

"For me, the French Identity was important," said Pilati after the show. "It's the house, and it's where I come from."

Though the address couldn't have been more New York, on Fifth Avenue in the Upper East Side with Central Park just outside the door, the building itself, the French Consulate, lent the clothes a refined air far from the hustle and bustle of the city.

But if Fall was dark, tough and nearly exclusively black,Ed hardy hoodies, in the second section,Chanel, "literally resort," said Pilati, with crisp cotton bras paired with belted maxi skirts and more bloomers, Pilati gave free reign to a lush tropical color palette worthy of Carmen Miranda, with coral, fuchsia, orange and purple.

New York – Chanel just jetted to St. Tropez and Dior landed in Shanghai, but for the Yves Saint Laurent Cruise 2011 collection show, designer Stefano Pilati staged it in New York for the first time on Thursday morning, June 3.

There were more echoes of Fall 2010 in the tailoring, like an elegantly constructed blazer-meets-cape that gives the visual effect of draping a man's jacket over your shoulders on an unseasonably cool evening, or the long and lean trousers.

G-Star RAW (commonly called just G-Star) is a Dutch clothing company that produces fashionable urban clothing. It became a very popular clothing brand among students in Europe. Their clothing is frequently used in runway modeling. It was showcased at the New York Fashion Week in 2008. ^[1]

G-Star was originally named Gap Star but decided to change their name upon going international. The brand specializes in making RAW denim – an unwashed, untreated denim in which all jeans start out as after being constructed. G-Star is influenced by European fashion trends as well as by military clothing. Inspirations of their designs come from vintage military apparel bought from around the world. Some examples include special mobile-phone pockets and zippered arm pockets on jackets.

G-Star’s flagship stores are located in New York City, United States and the Netherlands in the most luxurious shopping street of Amsterdam, the PC Hooftstraat. Compared with the USA, the brand is far more famous in the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, and other European countries as well as China and Hong Kong.
