Bringing unique designs to the world is what Louis Vuitton does. And Objets Nomades is no different. The collection features stylish, travel-inspired objects crafted by revered design stars ranging from the likes of the Campana Brothers to Hong Kong’s own Andre Fu, who combine their talents with the unparalleled savoir fair of Louis Vuitton to create pieces characterised by complex craftsmanship and innovative design.

This year, Objets Nomades returns to Hong Kong for the second year, but this time the exhibition will be on display at the former Central Magistracy, marking the historic building’s first public opening. The revitalised structure, part of Tai Kwun, dates to 1914 and, complete with evocative colonial architecture, is one of the most historically significant buildings on the site. It will be further enhanced by acclaimed Hong Kong designer Joyce Wang, who is behind the avant-garde interior scenography that frames the travelling collection.

This edition of Objets Nomades welcomes new pieces, including award-winning design duo Raw Edges’ DOLLS playful chairs, on display for the first time internationally. London-based creatives Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay are behind this wildly dressed family of collapsible chairs, each featuring a range of fun fabrics and whimsical elements.

“Inspired by culture and folk craft, the chairs can be configured with a subtle human touch; the way we dress them gives each chair its unique context,” says Raw Edges. Each piece can be customised to make it as unique as its owner, in the tradition of Louis Vuitton’s famed trunks, which the Maison has been personalising for more than 160 years.

Aurel Aebi, Armand Louis and Patrick Raymond are the design minds behind Swiss brand Atelier Oï and its new Serpentine Table. Influenced in its design by the free-flowing movements of traditional dance, there is nevertheless a pleasing balance of weight and tension. American walnut legs are held together by finely worked straps made using blue Louis Vuitton leather, yet are foldable for easy storage.

Quality materials and fine craftsmanship are fundamental to Atelier Oï’s creations, and, as the collective put it, “We were immediately taken with the opportunity of collaborating with a House that stands out for the quality of its savoir-faire.”

The final new addition to Objets Nomades saw designer Alberto Biagetti and artist Laura Baldassari of Atelier Biagetti fashion the fabulous Anemona table, the undulating base of which is covered with rich natural tan-coloured Louis Vuitton leather on the outside and a contrasting deep blue hue on the inside.

“We did not want to create a portable object; on the contrary, we wanted the object to transport us,” says Atelier Biagetti. “So, we thought about a table – the domestic object par excellence – because it brings people together; it is convivial and inspires the telling of stories and sharing of tales. Then we thought about the sea, the very symbol of freedom, but also the setting for important forms of nomadism today. Our table emerges from the waves into the home as a symbol of hospitality, refuge and peace.”

"To be honest, I'm more of a shoe person. But I do like to match bags with shoes,” Noi Aswari informs us as she arrives at Klots in Kemang for Prestige’s it bags shoot. We selected a number of the season’s best designs for her to model.

“My first bag was a Chanel, in fuchsia lambskin,” Noi says as she begins posing. “It was a limited edition for Valentine’s Day, and I got it as my high school graduation gift. It’s certainly been the most memorable bag in my life.”

The gorgeous beauty and fashion enthusiast, who studied at Trisakti University, Jakarta, has a wry sense of humour, describing herself on Instagram as “part-time dentist, full-time dreamer”. She’s a big fan of the Mini Lady Dior. “I think it really represents me right now, since I’m a petite woman and, again, I like a little twist,” she explains.

“I think women around my age are more into the medium to small-size bags these days because of their simplicity and efficiency. You can easily carry around a few essentials like your phone, wallet, powder and lipstick. A small bag gives us freedom to move. The other ones I go for are the timeless styles, like the Valentino bags with their iconic studs.”

Noi shows up for the shoot with an item she borrowed from her mom, a Fendi Peekaboo studded, floral-embroidered leather satchel from the 2017 Resort Collection. “This one belongs to my mom,” she admits with a giggle. “Now, she really is a bag person. I might borrow one from her when I have to carry more stuff to work, like books and stationery, a water bottle and food, a makeup pouch, sunglasses.”

Wearing a white blouse and pants and sporting a short haircut, Noi looks feminine and edgy. She is quite possibly the most glamorous dentist on the planet. “I’m working on opening Tawa Dental Studio in Pondok Indah, together with three friends who are also dentists,” she tells us.

Knowing that many people are afraid to visit a dentist, Noi chose the name Tawa, which means “laugh” in Bahasa Indonesia, to help put clients at ease. She wants them to know that it is possible to go to the dentist’s and come out smiling.

“This is a joint-venture clinic with US dentists who have worked in Singapore for more than nine years and have opened seven branches, including Australia and Cambodia,” Noi adds. “When they decided to come to Indonesia, we become their partners.

“I see a dental clinic nowadays as more like an aesthetic clinic. People don’t just go for the sake of their health, but to improve their appearance. It’s so important to look after your teeth because they have such a big impact on your body’s health and also on how good you look.”

Noi says she grew up idolising her mother. “I liked to try everything in her closet, from scarves, bags and clothes to makeup. She is also a fashion enthusiast, and I pretty much look up at her. I also have a sister, and the three of us literally share a lot of stuff and go shopping together.”

She describes her style as feminine, while “having twist in it that is quite difficult to describe. I love a little bit of femininity in everything, but it should have an edgy touch – sexy, but not too sexy. Olivia Palermo influenced the way I dress up.

“Something versatile also captivates my interest, like the designs of Sapto Djojokartiko. He’s a brilliant guy. Everything is hand-drawn until the lace part. His stuff is not just clothes but a piece of artwork.” Noi enjoys the shoot, never tiring as she switches from one bag to another. “I do photo shoots for fun, since I like to be photographed,” she grins. “But I also spend a lot of time with loved ones, family, friends and my fiancé. I take singing courses and I’m planning to join a cookery course. I want to cook something simple but tasty.

“I just came back from Raja Ampat, that’s my best destination so far this year. I lived in the boat, did diving for the first time, saw sunrises and sunsets, did a lot of watersports and hiking. It was great to spend quality time with friends and be away from the internet life for a while. I found out that it’s really good to remember your true soul.”

The new Show Notes pages offer a glimpse into what I jotted down during each collection. Every editor’s notebook is different, but then that’s why each magazine has its own mind, character and way of seeing the world. Here’s mine, now an open book, for you.

The post Spring/Summer 2019 Show Notes From the Front Row appeared first on Prestige Online - Hong Kong.

The recent passing of Karl Lagerfeld may have cast a shadow over the Fall/Winter 2019 runway collections, but Paris Fashion Week is ending on a high note tonight, with Louis Vuitton's FW19 ready-to-wear runway presentation. The much-anticipated show will be held at an iconic location -- the Louvre -- but you won't need to be in Paris to enjoy the best seat in the house. All you have to do is watch the livestream right here, which kicks off at 1am HKT on 6 March 2019, from the comfort of your own home -- or wherever you may be.
