An LV punching bag by Karl Lagerfeld? Why not! Today, WWD reports that Nicolas Ghesquière and Delphine Arnault are launching a new project, The Icon and the Iconoclasts, in which six heavy-hitting creatives will put their own spin on monogrammed bags and luggage. The designers, artists, and architects include Lagerfeld (who is, in fact, producing a punching bag), Cindy Sherman, Rei Kawakubo, Christian Louboutin, Frank Gehry, and Marc Newson.

The project instantly calls to mind the collaborations Marc Jacobs championed during his tenure at Vuitton: Stephen Sprouse, Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, and Yayoi Kusama all interpreted the LV monogram in a unique way. But Ghesquière’s take brings Vuitton’s team-ups to a whole new level.

Images won’t be revealed until later this fall and prices will range between $2,725 and $5,450. That’s a pretty penny, but considering the bags will be available only for a few months, we’re thinking they qualify as the ultimate splurge.

Hussein Chalayan is on a hot streak. If you’ll remember, last season he began his new role as the creative director of Vionnet Demi-Couture. He just created the costumes for the L.A. Phil’s Così Fan Tutte, and today WWD reports that after eight years, the designer is reviving his dormant menswear collection. For Spring ’15, Chalayan, known for his cerebral approach to design, will release a twenty-two-look menswear capsule comprising T-shirts, outerwear, sweaters, sweatshirts, and shirting. “We had a really good following,” he said, “especially in the worlds of art and architecture, and our customers haven’t stopped asking about it. Some are still wearing their old clothes.” Surely his fans will be thrilled that they can soon pick up some new threads, but it’s nice to be reminded that good design never goes out of style.
