When I have given talks to middle and high school students about design and Designer Louis Vuitton Replica Handbags my life as an aspiring fashion designer, I have come to realize that the perception of what goes down does not necessarily correspond with what most teenagers think, or rather wish for.

These are the first pastel and candy colored works I have seen by the artist who usually tends to use more demure colors. I have to say that I a big fan of his new use of color!

At the National Museum of China (!), I stopped by to see the Louis Vuitton Voyages exhibition which runs until August 30th. The exclusive fashion brand of luxury suitcases showed promise as it raved to show hundreds of handmade luggage.

The exhibition did not let down! It wowed me completely, not only by the sheer size of the show but also the range of items on display. Customized luxury suitcases for every imaginable activity and whim, including features necessary only for camping,

The house which is used both as a mansion and entertaining venue is also used as a gallery displaying art by selected artists. It is a masterpiece, filled with exclusive and quirky art and decor as well as several statement pieces of furniture designed by David Ben Kay () himself.

The Renaissance sculptor and painter Michelangelo David appeared to play a vital role in the decor. A plastic chair made in the shape of David severed nose stood as a center piece and a large sideboard made of marble in admiration of his lips.

Here you can see the ever so lovely David in pink however, with his missing lips, nose, and ear.

As I was exploring the house/gallery there was also a photoshoot/ photo installation by French visual artist Niko de La Faye that was being documented. Exciting!

Yellow Signal, as the exhibition is titled has been shown in four seperate chapters in order to show an evolving process. Yellow Signal is about the familiar yellow traffic light and how it is both a signal and signifier. Resting in between red and green, the yellow light also shows permission and prohibition. Lately this has been a very hot topic among Chinese replica louis vuitton handbags artists who continue to push the boundaries themselves, not only on permission and prohibition but also as to what can be considered art. In this exhibition Wang Jianwei shows that he is not afraid to explore different medias as his exhibition was comprised of film, furniture, and other installations. I loved the fun and funky geometric cabinets.
