Hong Kong based retailer Lane Crawford collaborates with 12 leading fashion designers to create garments influenced by their notion of Olympia. The designers are: 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Burberry Prorsum, Costume National, Emilio Pucci, Givenchy, Maison Martin Margiela, Neil Barrett, Rick Owens, Stella McCartney and Yves Saint Laurent.
My favorite is the one by Phillip Lim because it reminds me of ballet class (although it's a tennis dress:)
What do you like best?

BIG BLUE BALL

I went to the "Big Blue Ball" exhibition at the Ludwig Forum Aachen a few weeks ago. This exhibition highlights the connection between art and fashion and shows some very imaginative creations from fashion students across Europe.
