Text by Harriet Walker: “Freshly resurrected this season from the inner circle of hell: the bum bag: on the catwalks at Louis Vuitton, over the counter at American Apparel, and now king of weird Walter van Beirendonck has presented his own take on the style during Paris Menswear Week. Known for clashing colours, hyper-cool new fabrics and bold add-ons (he once attached a black leather dildo to the front of some bondage trousers, oo-er), Van Beirendonck has linked up with bag brand Chris&Tibor to make fanny-packs that spell out words, your initials, you name it… Or simply play it safe with one of the plane-shaped rucksacks instead.”

PARIS FASHION WEEK – CHRIS&TIBOR SHOWROOM
Chris&Tibor team just got back from Paris, where we were showing the Autumn Winter 2010-11 Collection to international buyers and press in the past few days. The presentation was really great, our showroom was located in the heart of Fashion Paris: The Marais. Literally next to the world famous Pompidou Center , Stravinsky Fountain and The Saint-Merri Church. We want to thank to everybody who have visited us…what a wonderful and successful week it was!

SPOTTED: KANYE WEST AT THE WALTER VAN BEIRENDONCK PARIS SHOW
We spotted uber cool Kanye West in Paris at the Walter Van Beirendonck catwalk show today. Kanye has arrived with girlfriend Amber Rose, American model, socialite and former exotic dancer. I have to say that Chris and Tibor loves the new Christian Louboutins studded Rollerball Loafers what Kanye West was wearing at the show. By the way, Christian Louboutins website is really really cool, so if you have not visited the site yet go and check it out, our favorite is this (turn on the speaker before you click): “Dont tell me the price, but how much is this?”
