Artist aleXsandro Palombo has reimagined the iconic Apple computer logo with some of the most well-known fashion brands including Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Hermes, and Gucci for the “Happy Apple fashion line.” It’s the artist’s salute (?) to former Yves Saint Laurent CEO Paul Deneve moving to Apple to work on special projects as vice president. We reached out to Siri for comment, but she couldn’t understand us.

(PARIS) Louis Vuitton
The latest LV looks for the hommes designed by Kim Jones are all about adapting to the lifestyle of a well versed globe trotter. Right away it becomes obvious from look une that this Vuitton man is armed and ready…for train travel. The telltale sign? A leather checkerboard satchel, playfully styled with a printed suit and a casual red bandana in lieu of a standard tie. A pair of plaid short-shorts are ready for a summertime hike in the Alps, complemented by a clashing polo and a leather backpack that will hopefully be equipped with snacks for the trail. The only wares adequate for a trek through a Venezuelan jungle, apparently? Dark blue cargo pants cuffed at the ankle and fastened with a rather serious belt.

A madras blazer and a pair of modest shorts seem like a formidable ensemble for the yacht scene in Miami, while a bandana print tee and barely-there shorts would be right at home along the shores of South Beach. For a petit vacance in Paris, a denim-hued suede jacket will provide warmth during the coolest Spring morning. What does one wear to a five-star French feast? One of the many variations of tuxedos will certainly suffice, but there are simply so many choices! Perhaps the shimmering silver jacket and slightly goofy black bowtie will do the trick, or maybe a simple black-on-black tux is just right. No matter the choice, those glistening silver dress shoes definitely need to be in the mix, non?

Keeping it in the family: Delphine Arnault, the oldest offspring of LVMH’s head honcho (aka chairman and CEO) Bernard Arnault, has been appointed executive vice president of Louis Vuitton. The eldest Arnault has spent the past five years serving as deputy general manager at Dior. She has also served on the boards of Céline, Loewe, Emilio Pucci, and Dior.

Louis Vuitton: The inspiration behind Louis Vuitton’s resort collection was clearly the Parisian woman. None too surprising for the French maison! There were plenty of chic, understated pieces that took a sophisticated read on a bohemian aesthetic. Denim was a big theme in this collection and while we Americans have claimed that category to be distinctly ours, it was actually the French who created the classic fabric. More jeans-centric trivia? The word denim actually comes from “de Nîmes” the French region where the fabric was first made.

Luxury’s heavy hitters, revealed! Today, WPP and Millward Brown released this year’s BrandZ Top 100 List, naming the most valuable brands worldwide. Who topped the list for luxury fashion brands? Louis Vuitton nabbed the top spot for the second consecutive year, coming in at a whopping value of $22.7 billion even though the brand has had a 12 percent year-over-year decrease.

There’s not a designer around today who wouldn’t have wanted to dress Karlie Kloss for The Met Ball and the winner is…Louis Vuitton. America’s Sweetheart attended fashion’s fave night in Vuitton and sported a new hairstyle for the big event. KK told reporters that she punkified her hair by dying her hair. Punky chic.

Marc Jacobs welcomed the sartorial set to Hotel Vuitton this morning, or rather the Cour Carrée du Louvre, where the designer transformed the palatial museum into a carpeted runway flanked by damask wallpaper walls and wooden doors opening to intimate guest quarters. One by one, mods wearing dark, shaggy wigs sashayed down the aisle to the beats of Alexandre Desplat’s “River” in sultry ’40s silhouettes—slinky slipdresses edged in lace, coquettish bloomers, velvet or plaid housecoats cinched in at the waist, and pajama pantsuits—before retiring to their respective rooms. As each door swung open, the audience got a glimpse of a shadowy chambre, stacked with LV luggage and lit up with black and white film projected onto the walls showcasing various old-timey bedroom scenes. In the midst of the boudoir-style spectacle, Kate Moss made a surprise cameo in a transparent floral gown as hubby Jamie Hince cheered from the sidelines, along with fellow VIPS Elizabeth Olsen, Jessica Chastain, and Naomi Watts. Post show, Jacobs made his own appearance at the PJ party in, what else, red silk jammies.

Givenchy creative director Riccardo Tisci has extended his contract with the French luxury house, according to WWD. The Italian designer has signed on for the next three years, and the timing couldn’t be better. LVMH, the luxury parent of 30 brands including Givenchy, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, Pucci, and Bulgari, posted a 12 percent boost in net profits in 2012, ringing in the new year at $4.4 billion.
