Bloomingdale’s celebrates music and the Grammys; Ermenegildo Zegna delivers the new man bag

Share

If you’re flummoxed as to what to wear to that Grammys viewing party on Sunday, here’s an idea. Bloomingdale’s recently launched its “Music Is Universal” collection, partly in conjunction with artist merchandise company Bravado, spanning a range of rock-inspired pieces including bomber jackets, skinny leather pants and concert tees. These separates can be worn year-round, conveying something of a pop-rock sensibility.

“Musicians have some of the biggest influences on fashion,” said Kevin Harter, Bloomingdale’s group vice president of integrated marketing, who helped curate the collection. “It’s more than seeing their image on a T-shirt, but trying to emulate the artist from a point of their personal style.”

The 253-piece offering extends beyond clothing and accessories to include accessories for the home as well as speakers and turntables. The collection is available at a pop-up at Bloomingdale’s in the Beverly Center in Los Angeles and online until the end of February. Prices range from $12 to $2,500. The Grammy Awards will be presented on Jan. 28 in New York and air on CBS.

Hit Rodeo Drive to enjoy the surprising sight of a retro Volkswagen van emblazoned with tropical prints parked outside the Louis Vuitton store.

The Traveling Pop-Up from the venerable French luxury house was curated by the brand’s outgoing men’s artistic director, Kim Jones, who conceived of a way to highlight the label’s lightweight, colorful, vacation-friendly spring/summer 2018 staples. That would be to put those pieces in a van and send them to three U.S. cities known for their beachy lifestyles.

The vehicle containing Vuitton’s tropical-themed apparel, accessories and palm-tree-patterned surfboards had its debut in Miami, and will be in Los Angeles for a couple of weeks before ending its run in Honolulu in mid-February.

Guests at the Ermenegildo Zegna Couture fall/winter 2018 show in Milan earlier this month saw more than the sleek and sporty attire that the Italian menswear brand is known for. Also debuting during the men’s runway show was the new XXX Reversible Bag ($995), a deerskin and calfskin combo in three color ways with the triple-x hand-painted onto one surface. The shopping/gym/carry-all bag is part of Zegna’s “see now, buy now” initiative, releasing certain products for instant sale instead of having to wait until the new season arrives.
