The in-sole also features the leopard print, along with the signature bananas by XLarge.

The collection weighs heavily on the dark side of the color spectrum, with classically punk-rock inspired accents by way of leather, studs and leopard print. Hedi Slimane’s iconic Dior Homme look shines through, through an more LA leaning, YSL-flavored filter.

Taking as their starting point George Orwell’s seminal 1937 publication The Road to Wigan Pier, a sociological investigation into the bleak living conditions of the working class in Yorkshire and Lancashire, six newly graduated students of photography were commissioned by Impressions to record and document social aspects of the North of England. Each worked independently and each took a personal viewpoint.
These non-judgemental, yet sometimes shocking, photographs show us a way of life that was in terminal decline. This picture of Orwellian dystopia acts as an elegy of the northern urban landscape and its people, on the brink of irrevocable social and cultural change. Today, in-post industrial Britain, we are perhaps inclined to forget the recent past as many of the symbols of poverty and neglect have been replaced by regeneration.

Annet Gelink asked the three most prominent female Dutch artists Rineke Dijkstra, Marlene Dumas, and Marijke van Warmerdam to make a selection of works by Ed van der Elsken.
Dijkstra, Dumas and Van Warmerdam have each made their own selection which provide interesting insights on Van der Elsken and the three artists. Jhim Lamoree: “Ed van der Elsken’s photographs had a range of expression, and the selections made by Marlene Dumas, Rineke Dijkstra and Marijke van Warmerdam attest to this. Each was drawn to a different aspect of his work. They, too, observed and made choices. The connection between Ed, Marlene, Marijke and Rineke is their ability to seek out the other without losing sight of, or a sense of, themselves. They size up the world in a humane, personal manner. Their attitude is similar, but the aesthetic results of each differ entirely. The selections cause an intriguing and enigmatic doubling to occur: the show not only gives a varied portrait of Ed’s oeuvre, but also a self-portrait of the oeuvres of Marlene, Marijke en Rineke.”

The photographs display the versatility and timelessness of the iconic Chanel jacket through 113 photographs shot by Lagerfeld himself, with each personality adapting the garment to reflect their own inimitable style.
The project, which was the brainchild of Chanel’s creative director Karl Lagerfeld and ex- Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld, began with a coffee table book consisting of photographs of ‘friends of the House’ – models, stylists, actors, designer and musicians, all wearing Chanel’s classic little black jacket in different ways.
The accompanying book, “The Little Black Jacket: Chanel’s classic revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld,” will be available this autumn.
Exhibition runs from October 12th to October 28th, 2012
