Jim Lovell, Buzz Aldrin and Sally Ride in Louis Vuitton's Core Values Campaign Ad

Aside from her "Disney's Year Of A Million Dreams" campaign ads, I also love Annie Leibovitz series of photos for Louis Vuitton’s Core Values. This 2009 Louis Vuitton fashion house celebrates the greatest journey man as ever known which is conquering the Moon. To commemorate this event, LV launches an ad that convinces the audience that one’s personal journey may be a voyage that is worthy to be celebrated.



Captioned as "Some journeys change mankind forever", the ad features three individuals who had their own personal outer space journey. Buzz Aldrin was the second man to set foot on the Moon when he traveled with Neil Armstrong on July 2969 for the Apollo 11 mission. Jim Lovell was the commander of unfortunate Apollo 13 mission in 1970 and guided his crew in returning back to Earth. Sally Ride became the first American woman to travel in space as a crew member of Space Shuttle Challenger.

Trivia: The tag line of the ad was from Neil Armstrong own words.

Ageless Fashion Styles: Menswear

1940 Menswear

Many decades ago, there is a great distinction between men and women’s wear. Men were stereotyped to wear trousers/pants while women have to put on skirts. With this perception, women prevented themselves from trying pants so that the society will not be offended.

In 1913, Paul Poiret designed one of the first pants for women. His creations were known as harem pants that were inspired by costumes of an Arabian opera show. Meanwhile, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel wore this tabooed outfit and began to create her own designs too. Chanel focused on creating comfortable pants that will be worn by women in sports activities especially horseback riding.

It was Marlene Dietrich and Audrey Hepburn who always include trousers in their fashion style. In addition to this publicity, Vogue magazine featured models in trouser in their 1939 issue. Since then, they became one of the most worn fashion style for women. Later on, they were matched with jackets to complete the business look.
