LOUIS VUITTON "LADY TRUNK" CREATED IN 1906
THE LOUIS VUITTON "LADY TRUNK" WAS DISCOVERED WITHIN THE FIRST YEARS OF THE COMPANY. THE YEAR OF 1906 FOUNDER LOUIS VUITTON DECIDED TO CREATE A MONOGRAM TRUNK FOR THE LADIES. THIS SPECIAL TRUNK WOULD MAKE PACKING SO MUCH EASIER FOR FEMALE CLIENTS OF LOUIS VUITTON THAT OTHER WOMAN AND THEIR MAIDS WOULD LACK. INSIDE THE TRUNK WOULD INCLUDE FOUR REMOVABLE TRAYS: ONE FOR HATS; ONE WITH DIVIDERS FOR ACCESSORIES THAT WERE PROTECTED SUCH AS GLOVES, FANS, JABOTS, AND ALSO SHAWLS. ANOTHER DIVIDER FOR UNDER GARMENTS; SUCH AS PETTICOATS, CHEMISES, CORSETS, AND HOSIERY.THE LEFT SPACE WAS FOR MUCH LARGER ITEMS WOMEN WOULD NEED USE FOR SUCH AS COATS. THE DESIGN OF THIS TRUNK WOULD MURDER COMPETITION AS THE THE BIG "LV" STANDS ON THE OUT OF THE TRUNK IN YELLOW GOLD. IF MY TIME WAS AROUND THE YEARS OF THE EARLY 1900'S I WOULD MAKE SURE MY WIFE HAD THIS TRUNK STASHED AWAY IN HER CLOSET. THIS VINTAGE TRUNK DESIGN IS CLASSIC. YOU ARE NOW LOOKING AT THE "LADY TRUNK" OF 1906.

THE HISTORY OF MCM IS DEEPER THAN YOU THINK. EVEN THE BIRTHPLACE OF MCM STILL STANDS WITHIN WITH THE NAME OF OF THE HIGH LUXURY BRAND. "MUNICH" OF MCM IS A REAL CITY AND THE CAPITAL OF BRAVIA , GERMANY. WE NEVER KNOW WHERE SOME OF THE TRUE HISTORY OF OUR FAVORITE BRANDS EXACTLY COMES FROM. MCM HAS A LOAD OF HISTORY BEHIND THE BRAND AND I INTEND TO FIND IT. STARTING WITH "MUNICH CITY" I AM GOING TO BRING YOU TRUE FACTS BECAUSE IT PLAYS A BIG PART WITH THE LUXURY BRAND AND IS THE BIRTHPLACE. MUNICH CITY IS THE LAST "M" OF MCM AND IS THE CAPITAL OF BRAVIA, MUNICH CITY IS LOCATED ON THE RIVER ISLAR NORTH OF BAVARIAN ALPS IN GERMANY, THE MUNICH CITY CITY MOTTO IS "MUNICH MAG DICH" IN GERMANY MEANING "MUNICH LOVES YOU", MUNICH CITY HOSTED THE SUMMER OLYMPICS IN 1972 AND IS A CANDIDATE FOR WINTER OLYMPICS IN UPCOMING YEAR 2018, LAST MUNICH CITY IS THE HOME OF OCTOBER FEST WHICH IS TO CELEBRATE THE MARRIAGE OF PRINCESS THEREASE VON SACHSEN- HILDBURGHAUSEN AND PRINCE LUDWIG.

LOUIS VUITTON "LIBRARY TRUNK" IN 1923 (PLEASE READ)
FICTION OR NON- FICTION. THERE IS NOTHING UN- REAL ABOUT LOUIS VUITTON IN THE EARLY YEARS OF THE COMPANY MAKING AN EXCLUSIVE TRUNK FOR BOOKS TO BE SAFELY SECURED. IN 1923 LOUIS VUITTON CREATED ONE OF THEIR MOST USEFUL TRUNKS YET FOR THEIR CLIENTS THE " LIBRARY TRUNK". THE LOUIS VUITTTON TRUNK WOULD HOLD UP TO 80 HEFTY BOOKS AND IF YOU WANTED A CUSTOM DESIGN OF YOUR INITIALS ON YOUR LUGGAGE NOW WAS THE TIME TO ASK. NOT ONLY WOULD BIBLIOPHILES AND COLLECTORS OF LV CAPTURE THIS EXCLUSIVE LV PIECE BUT OUTSIDERS OF THE BRAND AS WELL. TWO HIGHLY KNOWN WRITERS ERNEST HEMINGWAAY AND FRANCOIES SAGAN WERE HAPPY OWNERS OF TTHIS PIECE. IN THE PHOTOS PROVIDED YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE LOUIS VUITTON "LIBRARY TRUNK" OF 1923.
BIG BANG-G-DRAGON AND T.O.P. (KNOCK OUT) MV
MEMBERS G-DRAGON AND T.O.P OF THE KOREAN BAND "BIG BANG"HAS SHOT THEIR "KNOCK OUT" VIDEO AND IT TOUCHES DOPE. IF YOU WATCH CLOSELY THE VIDEO CAPTURES ARE DONE WITH SIMPLE TOUCHES BUT ADD UP TO COMPLETE ILLNESS. ALSO THE PIECES SHOWCASED IN THE VIDEO ARE ON POINT AS IT OFFERS LOOKS FROM KAWS, LOUBOUTINE, PLAYBOY AND WHAT REALLY STOOD OUT WAS THE CUSTOMIZED MCM PIECES. IT'S RARE FOR US TO SEE RAP ARTIST ACTUALLY GO IN THE WAY THESE TWO DID. ALSO BEHIND THE BEATS IS NO OTHER THAN DIPLO. AS YOU LISTEN TO THE SOUNDS DIPLO KILLS THE BEATS FOR THIS COLLABORATION. G-DRAGON AND T.O.P. IT'S DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THE STATES HAS SEEN. CLICK THE YOUTUBE VIDEO PROVIDED.

LOUIS VUITTON " TRUNK FOR FLOWERS" 1910
IN THE YEAR OF 1910 BROTHERS GEORGE AND GASTON-LOUIS VUITTON CAME UP WITH ONE OF THE BEST CREATIONS THE LOUIS VUITTON FRANCHISE WOULD EVER SEE. TO GIVE THANKS TO WOMEN CUSTOMERS THAT WOULD MAKE PLENTY PURCHASES YEARLY GASTON AND GEORGE DESIGNED TRUNK FOR FLOWERS. I KNOW YOUR THINKING HOW COULD THEY MAKE THIS, WOULDN'T THE FLOWERS EVENTUALLY DIE OUT. THE METHOD FOR THE "TRUNK FOR FLOWERS" WAS SIMPLE. GASTON AND GEORGE DESIGNED THE TRUNK WITH A ZINC TUBE THAT PROTECTED THE FLOWERS FROM WATER AND HUMIDITY. THIS WAS A MUCH BETTER WAY TO THANK THEIR LOYAL FEMALE CLIENTS THAN SENDING FLOWERS IN TISSUE PAPER AND ASPARAGUS FERNS. DAMN IT LOOKS LIKE I'M WISHING LV MAKES THIS AGAIN WHEN I GET MARRIED TO THAT ONE LUCKY LADY,SHE WOULD FALL OUT IF HAD THIS LAID OUT ON OUR BED PROBABLY. THIS IS THE "TRUNK FOR FLOWERS THAT WAS DISCOVERED IN 1910 BY GASTON AND GEORGE- LOUIS VUITTON.

MCM HISTORY: MCM AUTOMOBILE 5856 AND MCM JEEP 8252
THE HISTORY OF MCM HAS NOT ONLY LAID THEIR CREATIVITY WITHIN LUGGAGE AND GOOD FASHION BUT ALSO INTO CAR CRITERIA . IN THE PHOTOS PROVIDED ARE TWO EXCLUSIVE AUTOMOBILES MCM HAS DESIGNED IN THE PAST. I FEEL NOT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THESE TWO EXCLUSIVE MCM CARS AND I WANT TO PRESENT THEM TO YOU. TO KNOW THE (M)ODE.(C)REATION.(M)UNICH HISTORY IS VERY CRUCIAL TO KNOW IF YOU'RE DIVING HEAD FIRST INTO THE LIKES OF THE BRAND. THE BRAND STRONGEST POINT WAS IN THE MID 80'S. IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY INTO THE PHOTOS PROVIDED THE MCM CRITERIA CHOSEN FOR THE AUTOMOBILES IS THE "COGNAC MONOGRAM". SADLY WITH THE LITTLE INFORMATION GIVEN FOR THESE TWO VEHICLES I CAN NOT SUPPORT THE YEARS OF WHEN THEY WERE CREATED BUT I FEEL IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT ONE IS DEEP VINTAGE AND THE "JEEP" WAS MADE IN THE EARLY 90'S. THE ONLY INFORMATION THAT IS OBVIOUS IS THAT ONE AUTOMOBILE IS FROM THE COMPANY "JEEP." I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PHOTOS. THESE ARE TWO OF THE BEST PIECES MCM HAS EVER CREATED!

LOUIS VUITTON " COMPLETE WARDROBE TRUNK, SACHA G". 1913 (PLEASE READ)
THE HIGHLY MENTIONED LUXURY BRAND LOUIS VUITTON HAS BEEN AROUND SINCE THE MID 1800'S. IT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND WITH THAT BEING SAID THERE ARE SO MANY STORIES THAT LAY WITHIN THE BRAND. LOUIS VUITTON HAS LASTED 5 GENERATIONS OF THE LOUIS VUITTON FAMILLY. LOUIS, GEORGE, GASTON, CLAUD, AND NOW WHO IS AT HAND PATRICK-LOUIS VUITTON. NOW AND DAYS I FEEL THERE IS A NUMEROUS NUMBER OF US THAT LACK KNOWLEDGE OF HIGH LUXURY BRANDS. STILL LACKING THE KNOWLEDGE ON THESE BRANDS SOME ARE STILL MAKING PURCHASE AFTER PURCHASE IMPULSIVLY. I HAVE NOT ONLY WITNESS THIS AT FIRST HAND BUT I CAN SENSE IT IN OTHERS. WHEN I AM HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH SOME PEOPLE I CAN SENSE THEY ARE MAKING PURCHASES ON BRANDS ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE "DOPE STAMPS" ON OUR CULTURE. I AM NOT ONLY HERE TO GIVE YOU PHOTOS OF PIECES THAT HAVE MADE THESE LUXURY BRANDS WHAT THEY ARE TODAY BUT I WILL ALSO GIVE YOU THE STORIES BEHINDE THEM. STARTING WITH LOUIS VUITTON I WANT TO GO THROUGH SOME OF THE HISTORY WITHIN THESE BRANDS THAT HAVE MADE THEM WHAT THEY ARE.
I WILL BE OFFERING LOOKS FROM LOUIS VUITTON TRUNK PIECES FROM THE YEAR OF 1886. FIRST TRUNK IS THE "LOUIS VUITTON COMPLETE WARDROBE TRUNK, SACHA GUITY".FAMOUS ACTOR SACHA GUITRY STORY WITH LV IS KIND SALTY.SACHA GUITRY IN 1913 STEPPED FOOT INTO ONE OF THE FIRST LOUIS VUITTON BOUTIQUES WITH A LADY AND WANTED TO PURCHASE TWO "COMPLETE WARDROBE TRUNKS". SACHA GUITRY INTENDED TO PURCHASE TWO TRUNKS BUT WAS AT A LOSS OF FUNDS. SACHA STRONGLY ASK TO TAKE BOTH TRUNKS ON CREDIT. LOUIS VUITTON NEVER OFFERED BILLS TO BE TAKEN ON CREDIT BECAUSE THEY WONDERD IF SOMEONE NEVER PAID THEIR BILL.WITH SACHA GUITRY, LOUIS VUITTON WAS NOT GOING TO START BILLING ON CREDIT.
SACHA GUITRY GETS UPSET WITH THE LOUIS VUITTON BOUTIQUE AND WORDS ARE NOT SO KIND GEXCHANGE.AT THE END OF THE STORY SACHA GUITRY DOES NOT GET HIS TWO "LOUIS VUITTON COMPLETE WARDROBE TRUNKS" AND THE REST IS HISTORY. THIS IS THE STORY BETWEEN LOUIS VUITTON AND SACHA GUITRY NOT GETTING HIS AMAZING "COMPLETE WARDROBE TRUNKS" IN 1913.

EARLIER TODAY IT WAS ANNOUNCED PHILLLIP MOORE IS NOW STORE MANAGER AT ABAKUS SNEAKER BOUTIQUE. GREAT MOVE FOR PHILADELPHIA
CRAYOLA STEEZE. LEARNING YOUR COLORS FROM CRAYOLA
CRAYOLA CAN BE HELPFUL IN SO MANY WAYS THAT WE MIGHT TAKE FOR GRANTED. WHEN CREATING AN ART PROJECT OR CLOTHING LINE ALOT OF PEOPLE FORGET TO LOOK TOWARDS THE DIRECTION OF CRAYOLA FOR HELP. SOME PEOPLE THESE DAYS SUFFER FROM CHOOSING THE WRONG COLORS WHEN FINISHING UP A PIECE OR A CLOTHING LINE. SOMETIMES ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOOK AT YOUR TOOLS THAT YOU USED DAILY AS A LITTLE KID. I HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE BEST BRANDS COME OUT WITH GREAT DESIGNS BUT WHEN YOU SEE THE COLORS THEY USE IT RUINS THE WHOLE PROJECT. CRAYOLA CAN ALSO COME IN HANDY WHEN YOU HAVE TO LEARN DIFFICULT COLORS THAT CAN BRING YOUR PROJECTS TO A HIGHER LEVEL THAN YOU EXPECTED.ALSO, SAY YOUR IN A MEETING AND YOUR ASKED TO MENTION ALL OF THE NAMES OF A DARK BLUE. CRAYOLA CAN HELP YOU BY STUDYING THE SIDE OF CRAYONS. MOST IMPORTANT USE OF CRAYOLA CAN BE USED WHEN PUTTING TOGETHER DOPE OUTFITS.WE SHOULD KILL THE ALL BLACK SCENE, IT'S TOO EASY. READING THIS POST YOU MIGHT THINK I AM A LITTLE WILD BUT TRUST ME IF YOUR EVER IN NEED OF PUTTING TOGETHER ANY FORM OF ART PROJECT RATHER IT'S CLOTHING OR PORTRAITS DON'T HESITATE TO STUDY THE COLORS OF CRAYOLA. I AM TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE IN THE EASIEST FORM THAT I CAN TO TEACH YOU THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW. A BOX OF CRAYOLA PENCILS, MARKERS ,OR CRAYONS CAN HELP YOU LEARN ALOT ABOUT COLOR SCHEMES AND WHAT DARK AND LIGHT COLORS LOOK DOPE TOGETHER. JUST KEEP A BOX OF CRAYOLA GEMS NEXT TO YOUR BED YOU WILL FEEL THE DIFFERENCE AND SEE IT AS WELL. THIS IS A COLOR LESSON I AM LEARNING FROM THE KNOWELEDGE OF MY MENTOR JMR. THIS IS THE METHOD I CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO STUDY COLORS AND HOW I AM LEARNING MYSELF. CRAYOLA STEEZE!

DOWNTOWN PHILADELPHIA IS HIGHLIGHTED WITH SECTIONS FULL OF ART. THE DOWNTOWN AREA OF PHILLY OFFERS A NUMEROUS NUMBER OF ART OPTIONS YOU CAN VISIT DAILY INCLUDING THE ART MUSEUM, FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, PHILADELPHIA ART MUSEUM, AND IF YOU WERE HIP TO CULTURE ART YOU WOULD INVOLVE CHINA TOWN HIGHLY AS AN ART. AS SOON AS YOU WALK INTO THE HEART OF CHINATOWN YOU CAN FEEL THE CHINESE ART CULTURE. IF YOU LOOK ABOVE IN THE PHOTO PROVIDED FOR THIS POST WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT IS A VIVID PHOTO OF PHILADELPHIA'S ENTRANCE WALKING INTO CHINA TOWN, IT'S DOPE. THAT'S NOT THE ONLY ART PIECE CHINA TOWN VALUES. WALKING INTO CHINA TOWN'S BOOK STORES, $1 DOLLAR STORES, CLOTHING THRIFT STORES, LIVE SEAFOOD MARKETS, AND MINI MARKETS WHERE THEY CARRY REAL TOKYO CANDY AND FOODS ARE DOPE. ALL OF THESE SHOPS MENTIONED HAVE A UNIQUE STYLE TO THE STORE AND THERE IS MORE THAN ONE. WITH CHINA TOWN RESTAURANTS THEY LOOK SMALL AND MAY NOT LOOK LOUD OUTSIDE BUT ONCE YOU STEP IN YOU WILL BE SHOCKED. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO EAT IN CHINA TOWN YOU SHOULD NEVER JUDGE BOOK BY IT'S COVER, YOU WILL BE THE ONE TAKING THE LOST SO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A STEP IN THESE RESTAURANTS.
BUT WHAT REALLY CATCHES THE EYES OF ART IN CHINATOWN IS THE ONE AND ONLY SNEAKER BOUTIQUE ABAKUS. FOR THOSE THAT HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT ABAKUS IS AND YOUR LIVING IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA YOU SHOULD GET TO KNOW YOUR CITY AND WHAT IT OFFERS. ABAKUS IS HIGHLY RESPECTED BY MYSELF JUST ON THE FACT THAT I HAVE SEEN THEM GROW INTO SOMETHING REALLY SPACIAL.THE ART AND INTERIOR DESIGN ALONE OF THE ABAKUS SNEAKER BOUTIQUE WILL HAVE YOU APPRECIATING THE SHOP. THREE YEARS DOWN THE ROAD ABAKUS IS STILL CARING ON THEIR "ABAKUS TORCH" HIGH IN THE AIR AND BY THE LOOKS OF EVERYTHING FOR THE TEAM THE COMPANY IS ONLY GETTING STRONGER BY THE DAY. KY, RICK, JUSTINE, AND JACKSON HAVE CREATED A GOOD THING FOR PHILADELPHIA AND AN EVEN BETTER LOOK FOR CHINA TOWN. WHEN EVER YOUR IN THE CITY AND YOU NEED TO CATCH UP ON SOME FRESH STREET WEAR CLOTHING OR OG JORDAN'S MAKE A SPOT IN CHINATOWN TO PAY A VISIT TO ABAKUS, YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED.

10DEEP PRESENTS "A DAY AT THE PARK WITH JAMAL SMITH"
THE HOMIE JAMAL IS KILLING THE 10DEEP VIDEOS WITH JUST BEING HIMSELF AND DOING WHAT HE LOVES TO DO. JAMAL IN THIS VIDEO IS SKATING SOME ILL TRICKS AT A SKATE PARK IN CALIFORNIA I WANT TO SAY, I'M NOT SURE WHERE THE LOCATION HELD. WHEN THE HOMIE JAMAL WORKED AT UBIQ ON WALNUT STREET HE WOULD ALWAYS SKATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET KILLING SHIT. I REMEMBER CAMPING OUT FOR WEEKS AND JAMAL WOULD BE SKATING AND BREAKING BOARDS LIKE IT WAS NOTHING WITH NO STRESS LIKE "FUCK THIS BOARD" BECAUSE HE WOULD BOARD IT UP ALL DAY. AND WHEN MAL WOULD BE WORKING I WOULD ASK HIM WHEN IS HE GOING TO BOARD IT UP AGAIN IN THE STREETS BECAUSE THE HOMIE IS ILL ON THE BOARD, THIS DUDE HAS DONE TRICKS I HAVE NEVER SEEN. THE FUTURE IS LOOKING STRONG FOR JAMAL WITH SKATEBOARDING AND 10DEEP. IT'S DOPE TO SEE THE HOMIE JAMAL DO WHAT THE HE WANTS WITH A STRONG ESTABLISHMENT AS 10DEEP. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!

IT HAS TO HAPPEN! I HAVE POSTED PLENTY LOOKS OF MY ROOM JUST TO SHOWCASE WHAT MY INTEREST ARE AND WHAT FLOWS THROUGH MY BRAIN. BUT I FEEL I HAVE TO SHOW EVERYTHING CLOSE UP THAT IS IN MY ROOM ONE LAST TIME. MUSIC, STREET BRANDS, LUXURY CLOTHING, STYLE, COLORS, AND ART THAT IS DISPLAYED WITHIN THESE PICTURES ARE TRUE TO ME AD I HAVE HIGH RESPECT FOR IT. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THERE HAS BEEN ALOT OF LEARNING DONE WITH ME WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING I CAN THINK OF AND I AM HIGHLY GRATEFUL FOR THE THE THINGS I HAVE TAUGHT MYSELF AND PEOPLE THAT REACHED OUT TO ME. EVERY ART PIECE, ARTIST, MUSIC TUNE, BRAND, PROJECT, PERSONAL PROJECT, METING,OG, CARTOON, AND PEER THAT I HAVE PAYED ATTENTION TO I CHERISHED THE MOMENTS AND I HAVE GREW FROM THEM. WITH THE NEW YEAR HERE I ONLY WISH FOR IT TO BE BETTER. THE PHOTOS ARE SPECIAL TO YOUR BOY, EVERY DAY I SEE THESE DOPE PIECES IN MY LIFE AND THEY KEEP ME GOING AND THAT PUSHES ME TO GO HARDER IN LIFE AND KEEPS MY CREATIVITY AT A HIGHER POINT FROM WHAT IS ALREADY INSIDE OF ME. EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND SEE THE KAWS POSTER WITH THE MODEL CHICK TOP OF CELLING AND THAT SHIT WORKS FOR ME TO KEEP GOING IN MY FIELD. MY ROOM WAS THE START OF EVERY THING, IT'S WHAT WOKE ME UP TO INDEPENDENCE AND MADE ME BELIEVE IN MYSELF. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PHOTOS.
