The one with the runaway digest

Today I'll show you a bunch of catwalk news, which are really creative!

Louis Vuitton commercial
 

How to make your runaway similar to your concept? LV knows best.
ARTIST Daniel Buren has described collaborating with Louis Vuitton as "a really incredible" and "totally crazy" experience. The conceptual expert designed the striking checked staging - complete with escalators - for the fashion house's most recent spring/summer 2013 show.

"I received a very nice letter from Marc Jacobs - in his letter he didn't ask about a collaboration, he just said that he'd like to meet me," explained Buren. "I was quite surprised. We did not meet until August 28 and I thought we had too little time to do anything [for this season]. My only reservation was when I realised the time scale. I thought they might be wanting something for next year! With time so short, I said, 'This is totally crazy'."

 

 

Pregnancy Emergency

 

SARAH BURTON wants to be first in line to create the Duchess of Cambridge's pregnancy wardrobe. 

 

 

 

"I hope I will be," she laughed when reporters asked her whether or not she will design the royal's maternity wear.
The Alexander McQueen creative director famously designed the Duchess' wedding dress last year - but, despite the months-worth of work that went into its creation, apparently it wasn't too tough a commission.
"Kate looked so beautiful, she's got such an amazing sense of grace and style - it was quite easy to make her look good," Burton told The Telegraph. "It was a real labour of love and a real collaboration, for me it was a huge highlight of my career. It came completely out of the blue, it was very exciting and I felt very privileged."
Yesterday, Burton visited Buckingham Palace to collect her OBE from Prince Charles - a man she believes has "an amazing sense of style" and "impeccable taste". The conversation soon turned to the royal baby.
"We talked a little about the dress and I said congratulations for the Duke and Duchess - I'm over the moon for them," she said.

Royal Runaway

 

A CATWALK will be built in the gardens of Buckingham Palace next year, as part of the four-day Coronation Festival - which will celebrate the 60^thanniversary of the Queen's coronation. The catwalk, which will be available for public viewing, will showcase the products of royal warrant holders - companies and businesses that have supplied goods or services to Her Majesty, the Duke of Edinburgh and the Prince of Wales for five years or more.

The display will be an eclectic one - featuring brands such as Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes and Dege & Skinner, alongside Hunter wellingtons, Milborrow chimney sweeps and the bespoke Tom Smith Christmas crackers bought by the Queen for celebrations at Sandringham, reports The Evening Standard. The event, which will take place between July 11 and July 14 - will serve as a candid insight into the products the royal family use and love.

 

Fashion Helper

 

 

 

DIESELCEO Renzo Rosso has sponsored the restoration of one of Venice's most famous landmarks, the Ponte di Rialto. The businessman has donated€5.5 million (£4.46 million), towards improving and maintaining the 16^th-Century bridge.

"There is no city in the world that is more beautiful in terms of architecture - and it's the city of love," Rosso toldWWD. "It's close to my heart, where I went to university, and a point of reference for me."

Work on the bridge is expected to last 18 months and be completed for February 2016. The Diesel boss described the landmark as "the most important bridge historically, one of the world's wonders".
Rosso dismissed accusations that the sponsorship was simply a publicity stunt, adding that he wanted his involvement to be "creative, not invasive".
"Let's give back to the territory," he said. "A modern entrepreneur should help, not replace, the public administration that is often overburdened with costs." The donation was made through Rosso's holding, Only the Brave Srl, which controls Diesel, Viktor & Rolf and Maison Martin Margiela, among others.
