Chiara Goose ‘Cardboard Luggage’







Although it might not survive the abuse of your local airport luggage handler, Chiara Goose’s ‘Cardboard Luggage’ remains a stylish and playful piece that any weekend warrior can appreciate. Using surprisingly sturdy double-corrugated cardboard, metal rivets, and cotton cording, this piece has a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that speak to both its usefulness and functional design.

The luggage itself ‘unpacks,’ forming a standing shelving unit to organize your various possessions, making the days of digging into the depths of your bag a thing of the past. Chiara Goose’s ‘Cardboard Luggage’ shows that just because your working in recyclable materials, doesn’t mean you have to recycle creative design.

Jean Paul Gaultier and Levi’s















Fashion legend Jean Paul Gaultier revamps the iconic Levi’s 501® jeans at the S/S 2010 menswear (& womenswear) runway. Rugged and sexy models Isaac Crew and Josh Breech are the faces of this daring and impeccably created reinterpretation in this month’s release of L’Officiel Hommes #18, photographed by Milan Vukmirovic.

The bold reconstruction by the ever-youthful Jean Paul Gaultier was not without his signature touches, the chic maritime stripes and bondage accents adorned the cuffs of 501® jeans, and exposed selvage run through the side seams of jeans and shorts – in equally pure and uncompromisingly rigid denim. Epitomizing the America Dream since 1973, Levi's itself is an effortlessly cool and edgy brand.

Fused with Gaultier's genius sense of innovation, and impeccable couture craftsmanship, the street wear collection is a refreshing mixture of chic masculinity with utter authenticity and edge.
