Have not heard it yet, so sound off in the comment section on how it sounds.
Weezy F calls from prison
DJ Scoob Doo video tapes his conversation with Lil Wayne from Rikers. Wayne talks about having Gucci Mane shoot his part for a music video for “We be steady mobin” with Gucci, plus talks about them finding contraband in his cell (charger + ear buds) as well as an iPod in a nearby cell… and then the phone beeps.
Weezy has also been getting weekly visits from Baby & Slim, his babymoms, and other wellwishers such as Diddy and Drake.
World’s most valuable luxury brand
What is the world’s most valuable luxury brand? According to a study released today compiled by market research firm Millward Brown Optimor, the most valuable brand is France’s Louis Vuitton with a brand value of nearly $19.8 billion.
Hermes, with a brand value of $8.45 billion, landed in the second spot, followed by Gucci ($7.58 billion), Chanel ($5.54 billion) and Hennessy ($5.36 billion).
Millward Brown used an economic use approach to the valuation, with brand values based on the intrinsic value of the brand derived from its ability to generate demand. The values reflect the sum of all future earnings a brand is forecasted to generate, discounted to present-day value.
“The big takeaway is that brands that focused on heritage are the ones that topped the list,” says Lauren Sherman, editor of Fashionista, a fashion news website. “Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Gucci all focused this year on heritage.”
According to Sherman, Louis Vuitton’s advertising campaigns focused on travel, which ties to its history of being a maker of steamer trunks, while Hermes began to again market their saddles and also sponsored a horse show in Paris, which they haven’t done in years. “They are going back to the basics.”
Gucci, on the other hand, is focusing on its vintage bags. The company recently formed a partnership with Christie’s in which the auction house will provide appraisal services for owners of vintage Gucci leathergoods. “Gucci Collector: Presented by Christie’s” provides auction estimates for vintage Gucci items that are of a type and value typically sold at Christie’s. The service is provided free of charge. “Gucci wants to bring back the company from mass luxury which it had become,” says Sherman.
Millward Brown used the BrandZ database of its parent company, WPP, which owns several marketing, advertising and public relations firms, among others. BrandZ tracked sales and marketing for more than 1,000 brands over the course of a year to come up with the list.
The brand that saw the most growth on the list this year was Hermes, with an increase of 8%.
Perhaps most surprising about the list this year were the brands that didn’t fare well. The brands that are more closely associated with trends and high fashion, such as Prada and Burberry, did not rank high on the list—in fact, Prada & Burberry was knocked off the top ten list altogether.
Chanel’s ranking dropped from where it was a year ago and lost 11% of its brand value. “Chanel will always sell perfume and leather goods which are classic products, but compared to Gucci and Louis Vuitton, they are more associated with high fashion,” says Sherman. “Any brand where the runway is more important than the boutique, suffered a bit.” source
Ad campaign with the message, “Some journeys change mankind forever”. Louis Vuitton Core Values ad campaign celebrates the greatest journey of all, the latest commemorating the 40th anniversary of man’s conquest of the Moon.
Buzz Aldrin, Jim Loveli, and Sally Ride are featured in the campaign, bringing light to three exceptional figures whose own remarkable personal journeys have taken them into space. Buzz Aldrin was part of Apollo 11 with Neil Armstrong, and became the second man to step foot on the moon. Sally Ride is the first woman in space and Jim Loveli was a commander in Apollo 13.
