HERMES-NEW COMPANY. NEW SHAREHOLDERS
Luxury powerhouse LVMH recently bought up 14% of Parisan leather house responsible for the famous "Birkin" and "Kelly" bags. Hermes joins luxury elites like Fendi, Celine, Givenchy among others who have caught LVMH's interest. The purchase led Hermes International stocks to reach historic heights, with a trade up of 14% in shares today. LVMH traded up 3.5%. The purchase has lots of people asking questions. We will see if this is another potential buy out--hopefully one that keeps Hermes the family business that we all love!
Other changes to Hermes include its launch of SHANG XIA in September 2010. Chinese designer Ms. Qiong Er has set up the SHANG XIA company in Shanghia to create a 21st century brand from the best of traditional Chinese and other Asian craftsmanship and design. Focusing on the home, the collections include furniture, decorative objects, accessories, garments and an extended experience of tea. It will be interesting to see how this move works for Hermes. Will the Asian market accept SHANG XIA?

BEST FALL BAG--REED KRAKOFF!
American designer, Reed Krakoff, has out done himself with his "Boxer" tote. I am OBSESSED! The Boxer is an updated take on the ever-classic Hermes Birkin, with a little bit of structured rockstar edge added in! The former Ralph Lauren and Coach designer debuted his own line last spring for F/W 2010, and is already being copied in ZARA boutiques internationally. Reed is definitely one to watch and snag--if you can!

NEW LOVE- RUTHIE DAVIS
I recently discovered the kick-ass, femme fatale shoe designer, Ruthie Davis. Her Robot shoe below was at the forefront of Dennis Basso's SS 2011 show at NYFW. It turns out this high heeled maven had a history in the shoe industry long before her own launch in 2006. Ruthie Davis has been at the helm of Reebok and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as being responsible for the international fashion success of UGG Australia. Check out a couple of her designs below--and good luck, ALL of her styles are difficult to come by. Check out her website for videos, celeb favorites, and all things RUTHIE!
