Alexander McQueen is foregoing a traditional runway show for his S/S men's collection in favor of "something very special" his publicist says. [WWD]

The Louis Vuitton store in Tokyo got the full-force Murakami treatment, filled with his artwork and toys. He's promoting his Multicolor collection, and there's even an interesting promotional short. [Yeh Word!]
