Cloudbust Landing
The dynamic Cloudbust Landing project continues along its path, exploring young urban culture through the choice of three new photographers and three new cities – Shanghai, Fukuoka and London.
In collaboration with PhotoVogue -- a photography platform launched by Vogue.it in 2001 with over 160,000 photographers from around the globe, curated by Vogue Italia – Prada selected three talented photographers to reveal, through their straightforward perspective, the identity of Cloudbust sneakers. Each one was given a different theme and city and asked to develop three visual stories, each narrated with a strong and recognizable style and mood: The Open City, The Intimate City and The City After Hours.
To tell the story of The Open City, photographer Shuwei Liu takes an unusual underground approach in Shanghai, immortalizing a group of young friends roaming public areas of the city with a strong urban and contemporary vibe. Here, Cloudbust sneakers with their pop colors and unconventional design stand out as the protagonists of real and dynamic snapshots, seen as an asset to city dwelling.
The Intimate City is set in Fukuoka, where Kenta Nakamura captures a group of young friends in private urban spaces. Appearing in posed photos and casual candid shots, they are playing and having fun together. Here, Cloudbust sneakers burst onto the scene with their neon colors as an integral part of the group, representing individuality in the big city.
With The City After Hours, the focus shifts to London through the clear-cut style of photographer Clara Nebeling. Reportage images follow a group of friends exploring the city at night with underground moods, parks, all-night markets, clubs and rooftops. The mood is fun, lighthearted and lively, full of contagious excitement. Here, Cloudburst sneakers with their distinctive design and vibrant fluorescent colors stand out against the dark cityscape like the colorful city lights at night.

ToryBurchispartneringwithAmericanactressand activist Yara Shahidi on a video for the Fall/Winter 2018 collection.
Shot in downtown Manhattan and set to Steve Lacy’s smooth single “Some,” a favorite of Yara’s, the young star explores a West Village record store—a natural setting for the avid music fan—before weaving through the cobblestoned streets of Tribeca, finally ending her tour at the invariably chic Bowery Hotel in the Lower East Side. The style star sports different pieces from the collection, such as easy floral dresses in varying shades of the season’s Happy Times print and an oversized blush-colored sweater. Each look is paired with sleek accessories from a statement leather satchel to croc-embossed, pointed-toe booties that capture the cool, but casual style of downtown.
The James saddle bag is shown in three colorways—green, brown and cream—and features modern details such as a metal “T” closure. The Seventies-inspired shoulder bag was named after Tory’s youngest son, James Sawyer.
Best known for her work on the comedy series “Black-ish” and its spin-off series “Grown- ish,” Yara has been called the voice of her generation for her political engagement and social activism. She recently launched “Eighteen x ’18,” an initiative to mobilize young people to vote in the upcoming midterm elections in the United States. Earlier this month, Tory Burch announced its partnership with “Eighteen x ’18” to drive voter registration, which includes a “VOTE” t-shirt; 100% of all net proceeds benefit Eighteen x ’18 and its upcoming summit.
The video, directed by Jen Livingston, will be featured across Tory Burch’s digital and social channels globally beginning September 25th. It continues Tory Burch’s ongoing relationship with Yara who was featured in the brand’s Mother’s Day video alongside her own mom, Keri. She also appeared in a PSA video for the Tory Burch Foundation’s Embrace Ambition global initiative and was a keynote speaker at the Tory Burch Foundation’s Embrace Ambition Summit at New York City’s Lincoln Center in April.
Shop the Fall/Winter 2018 collection at Tory Burch boutiques, toryburch.com and the brand’s global ecommerce sites, as well as select department stores and specialty stores.

Polo Ralph Lauren - Down Hill

Throughout the ‘80s, Ralph Lauren designed Fall collections that nodded to the styles of the slopes, but in a unique way technical outerwear printed in primary colors and ski-inspired graphics.
Now, even thirty years later, the graphics are as valuable as ever among collectors and are seeing new life as part of Polo’s Downhill Skier collection for Fall 2018. Steeped in Polo’s ski-inspired collections from the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, Downhill Skier artfully mixes these vintage Ralph Lauren ski graphics with other archival designs from the era, all used in new ways. The result: a completely new collection of technical jackets, heavy knit sweaters, winter accessories, and more, all with a vintage Polo spirit.

A journey, at home
Imprinted in the Maison Louis Vuitton’s heart since its beginnings, travel consistently informs the house’s olfactory creations. It’s a state of mind that’s ever poised to venture out and conquer the world, with an insatiable curiosity, and a lightness of being, that embraces discovery — and it serves as a continuous inspiration for Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud. After creating a first collection of women’s fragrances in 2016, which was followed by a range of men’s fragrances in 2018, the perfumer has mastered a new journey: four scented candles that transforms the home into another ambiance
Ceramics with a nomadic spirit
As a source of inspiration, movement is the Maison’s common thread from their very first trunks, through to their ready-to-wear and fragrances. With this in mind, Marc Newson aspired to contribute to Louis Vuitton’s first scented candles. Cast in handmade ceramic, these containers have a unique form. Created with portable convenience in mind, these candles are made with a natural leather handle, the Maison’s emblematic material. The hand-sewn handle is secured to the ceramic with metal rivets. To embark on an olfactory journey, one can remove the gold-finished metal lid and place it underneath the candle, as a base. Discovering the fragrant wax poured in Grasse, France, with a colorful detail: a wick coated in a subtle touch of vibrant pigment, also hand painted in Grasse. The wax’s pure, matte white finish contrasts with the gleam of the gold base, while the sensuality of the natural leather handle complements the candle’s promise of warmth. Like foreign souvenirs as an eternal memento of a journey, Louis Vuitton ceramic candles are designed to have a place in the home.
The emotion of the outside world, inside
Wishing to capture the scent that wafts through natural settings and to transport it indoors, Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier Belletrud imagined each of his first four Louis Vuitton candles like a house with windows open to the world — or a poetic breeze that comes from outside and settles indoors. This season, each of the perfumer’s creations draws on landscapes discovered while traveling, as well as the homes where the candle’s fragrance alights. The interaction between the uplifting great outdoors alongside the need for home comforts is a constant duality. The first rosebuds from the garden to infuse the house, the warm island sun steeped in a veil of white cotton, scorched underbrush that permeates clothes during a walk in the woods, the magic of snowflakes as they fall, observed from the window with a fire blazing in the background: these four fragrances have been composed like snapshots of moments suspended in time, which can be relived when the candle is lighted anew. An emotional whirlwind, created from the most beautiful raw materials in the perfumer’s palette.

LOUIS VUITTON X GRACE CODDINGTON COLLECTION
Louis Vuitton has a renowned history of collaboration and, in recent years, celebrated artists from Jeff Koons to Stephen Sprouse and Yayoi Kusama have stamped their mark upon its Monogram canvas.

Louis Vuitton has a renowned history of collaboration and, in recent years, celebrated artists from Jeff Koons to Stephen Sprouse and Yayoi Kusama have stamped their mark upon its Monogram canvas. Now, the emblematic Grace Coddington has applied her idiosyncratic eye to a capsule collection of leather goods, accessories, shoes and ready-to-wear, designed alongside Nicolas Ghesquière and directly inspired by her legendary love of cats.
The illustrations that decorate this collection depict her dear Persians, Pumpkin and Blanket, as well as Nicolas Ghesquière’s dog, Léon. Drawn by Grace, and leaping across orange monograms reflecting her flame-coloured hair or graphic monochrome, they present a new chapter in the Louis Vuitton story: the Catogram.
Throughout the Catogram collection, creative charm is married with the exacting craftsmanship of the Louis Vuitton ateliers: handbags are lined with signed, mouse-printed canvas; every luggage tag meticulously edge-dyed. One facet of the capsule, the Cats On Leather collection, precisely prints and embosses a colourful menagerie across natural leather in an eccentric exploration of savoir- faire. New Classics (such as Petite Malle or City Steamer) and icons (Speedy or Neverfull) are given a fresh twist; even Catogram lambswool blankets and nylon umbrellas are transformed into unique statements. Elegance is seen from a fresh perspective: clutch bags take the cartoon form of reclining cats or sweetly smiling dogs; louche silk pyjamas appear as refined daywear.
This audacious irreverence is in harmony with both Grace’s iconoclastic style and Ghesquière’s fascination with eccentricity – as well as reflecting their mutual adoration of animals.
Here is timeless luxury animated by a playful spirit; a covetable collection of travelling companions.
The Louis Vuitton X Grace Coddington collection will be available in store on November 2nd 2018.
