Metro is the world’s largest free newspaper and the fourth biggest newspaper in the UK. Bel Jacobs style editor features the Autumn Winter collection of Walter Van Beirendonck+Chris&Tibor.

“Feeling bored of ordinary backpacks? Knock yourself out with those larger-than-life creations by mad Belgian Walter Van Beirendonck for accessories label CHRIS&TIBOR. Can’t decide between the Rocket backpack, the Fly beltbag and the Fire beltbag? We can’t help; we want all three. Next spring, things jump even further leftfield with huge tiger and crocodile-shaped packs you wear wrapped around your shoulders. All that without mentioning the robot-shaped pack. Stick your name on the waiting list.”

Dolce & Gabbana are an iconic and true inspiration for Chris&Tibor and our brand. This year they’re celebrating their 20th year in menswear design. For this special occasion the CNN Revealed crew filmed Italian design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana at their holiday home in Portofino. Revealed goes behind the scenes at Dolce and Gabbana’s Autumn/ Winter 2010 fashion show, and the huge 20th anniversary celebration this June in Milan.

The 20 minutes, three parts ”CNN Revealed” documentary can be watched on CNN website.

Can we just draw your attention to perhaps the coolest character seen of late on the boulevards de Paris. Type suave into google and this would be your match. Fred Astair meets Jack the Ripper? But perhaps what we love the most about this outfit is the way he wears his Chris&Tibor Clerkenwell leather tote bag, bringing out the modern man amid the array of Vintage styles here.

Those of you who think you could match this dapper fellow.. why not send us in a photo of you carrying your Chris&Tibor bag? You too could be the talk of the town. We’d love to see how you’re wearing yours.

Thursday June 25th at 2pm saw the Walter Van Bereindonck show hit the Bataclan in Paris’ trendy 11th district for Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2011. As our second season collaborating with Walter, this year’s collection is bigger, better and crazier… featuring the larger than life tiger and crocodile backpacks as big hits on the runway as well as the robot backpack. Further to these, the new Spring Summer 2011 collection includes the tiger and hope belt bags, the nylon W gym bag, the ‘Read my W skin’ side bag and leather belts, the W side bag and leather harnesses - available in a variety of checked fabrics too – the W laptop case, in a choice of leather, croc leather or nylon and a case for the ‘au courant’ Apple iPad in black leather or nylon. Lastly the not to be forgotten leather ‘W’ wash bag. The colour range this year is red, green, white and black with the additional checked range.

For you eager beavers we have decided to repeat last season’s successful 2 weeks pre-order option, available on our online shop from the next week and following this the collection will be stocked in the world’s most coveted couture boutiques and department stores from January 2011.
