Jewellery in our collection

November 28th, 2021

We are proud to announce that we have added the brand Rosa Maria to our collection. Rosa Maria is a jewelry maker, based in Libanon. Big silver rings with various precious stones like Smokey or Beer Quartz surrounded by black, silvergrey or cognac coloured diamonds. Small, elegant, perfect imperfection are all styles of Rosa Maria. We have mainly chosen rings, in silver, but gold is a possibility (takes around 4 weeks to manufacture). But also a version in copper is available, which looks like old gold, but is much more affordable in price.

Rosa started her brand Rosa Maria in 1998 together with her three sisters, after having been inspired by her years in fashion and their childhood rising in cosmopolitan Beirut, the centre of the arabian culture. We managed to follow the brand in our business trip to Paris on the Tranoi fashion fair. Year after year they have amazed us with their creation and timeless pieces, which perfectly combines with the LUUKS brands. To stay updated on how to wear her jewellery or just be insprired by her beautiful collection go to @rosamariajewellery or follow us on INSTAGRAM to see more of our selection.

Hidnander new brand @ LUUKS

August 15th, 2020

One of the new brands we will carry in our collection from this season is Hidnander. We love this brand because of it's mixing with retro elements and the excellent quality. The Starless is a timeless shoe, a perfect mix of the well known 70's icons Allstars (Converse) and the Superstar (Adidas). The Threedome take late ‘80s and early ’00s in a new direction, fusing the retro running silhouette with a modernist’s vision for shape and originality. You will find both styles for men and women in our collection.

Premiata Sizey

March 1st, 2020

The Sizey collection, which has been launched at the end of 2018 by Premiata is the newest line in their collection. It started with the release of the Sharky sneaker. Only launched at a few high-end stores and LUUKS ;) was sold out immediately. Just recently the DRAKE sneaker has been added to the Sizey family. We love this funky big "unisex" sneaker.... Another big succes of Premiata. For this spring you will find a lot more colors of both styles in our collection....

iris-in-paris-from-272164

Iris in Paris from 27/2-16/4

March 8th, 2016

Iris Apfel went to Paris last week, and quite honestly, the city may never be the same. The 94-year-old New Yorker is the subject of “Iris in Paris,” a fashion exhibition and pop-up shop at Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche department store that celebrates her famous, forthright style. And rightly so.

So when the Bon Marché called, “I thought it was wonderful!” she said. “It gave me a reason to come back to Paris!” For the installation, she selected a handful of items the store could sell — she wanted useful things, not trinkets. So there is her signature cross-body Mongolian lamb handbag/muff; Iris-like pinball-sized bead necklaces; Iris-style big resin bangles; Iris in Paris notecards; Iris in Paris notebooks, totes and umbrellas — even an Iris in Paris coffee mug. The show is organized around 10 tableaux: “Iris at the Museum,” “Iris at the Flea Market,” “Iris on the Bateaux Mouches” and so on. The French illustrator Eric Giriat produced witty sketches of her dressed in each scene for the store’s windows, and the installation includes a short film of Apfel at home, talking about Paris, among other things.

In the shop with Deborah Baker..

October 17th, 2014

Deborah Baker, Fiorentini + Baker

Distressed, weathered and lovingly given that worn in look – there’s no need to scuff up Deborah Baker’s heels before their first outing.

The founder of Fiorentini + Baker – the recent addition to Rivington Street’s shopping scene – Baker has mastered that new-but-not-new quality in footwear that only months of pavement pounding or feet dragging replicates, earning her kudos among the fashion set. After all, on the days when prim or proper should neither be seen nor heard, gleaming shoes would be the ultimate of style sins.

Launched in 2001, Fiorentini + Baker keeps quality close to its heart. Produced in a small factory in Bologna each pair of battered brogues, buckled boots or wardrobe staple biker boots are the product of traditional artisan techniques that are made to last.

Never far from the F+ B action – Deborah’s Italian home is located in Bologna, while her London home is just one floor above the East London shop floor – Deborah has steered the brand to success.

Eager to find out more? Here is a quick chat with Deborah...

How do you start each day?

BBC Radio 2 or 6 depending on my mood before i go to sleep and the time I’m aiming to wake up.

What’s the first task on the list?

I check to see where I am and what time it is!

If we opened your closets what would we find?

A bit of a mess, possibly a sleeping black cat, plenty of vintage especially jackets , and a few of my mum’s seventies dresses and lots of Fiorentini + Baker boots of course.

When travelling, what can you not live without?

Well apart from the obvious, which I sadly sometimes forget… my laptop.

What would we find you doing on a rare day off?

Wallowing in the luxury of not having to do anything, along with a catch up with friends and a long walk with the dog.

Do you have a place or city that inspires your work? 

A great many: antique/vintage markets are a favourite; places where different/eccentric people tend to be; little underground bars in Soho; some clubs and music festivals; the V&A , I could go on and on…

When would you say you’re most creative?

Paradoxically when I have to be; a deadline usually works. And, when I’m happy and relaxed with some good music in the background.

Do you have a memorable fashion moment?

I think meeting Anita Pallenberg – I have loved since I was a teenager.

If you could live anywhere it would be… in the sixties and seventies flitting between the Chelsea hotel, New York and Chelsea, London.

This year you will… stop smoking (again).

tabi-exhibition

Tabi exhibition

September 23rd, 2014

Martin Margiela had his first collection of the Tabi shoes in Spring Summer 1989, 25 years ago. Since then the Tabi shoes of Japanese inspiration are present each collection.

“For over 25 years the Tabi shoe has stood tall as one of the Maison’s most emblematic objects. Symbolizing one of our founding and most dear principles, transforming what is already known, or reinterpreting it,” says the Maison. “The Japanese Tabi, the traditional workmen’s footwear of choice becomes a stylized women’s shoe, bountiful in its styles and fabrics.”

Today Margiela celebrates to celebrate this iconic ‘Tabi’ shoe, the Maison, in collaboration with Relish in Washington DC, and presents the retrospective ‘Tabi Shoe Maker’ exhibition. A selection of Tabi shoes from 1989 till now will be shown.

Antwerp academie

September 9th, 2013

Spotted at a graduate fashion show at Antwerp's Royal Academy of Fine Arts this year: a T-shirt with 'Van Gogh studied here'. Look closer and you'll see the small print underneath: 'For 2 weeks'.

This year the Academy celebrates its 350th birthday - and the prestigious fashion department its 50th. The department has proved fertile breeding ground for talent, helping to launch the careers of Dries van Noten, Ann Demeulemeester, Martin Margiela, Haider Ackermann, Raff Simons, Veronique Branquinho, Walter van Beirendonck and A.F.Vandevorst. In the coming months Antwerp will host a series of creative events and exhibitions celebrating a city regarded as the fashion capital of Belgium.

'Happy Birthday Dear Academie' is at Fashion Museum Province of Antwerp, Nationalestraat 28, from 8 september 2013 untill 16 February 2014.

Punk: Chaos to Couture at the Met

June 29th, 2013

Spending summer days in New York doesn't necessarily brings you to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but if you are interested in fashion (and apparently you do otherwise you wouldn't spend you costly minutes to read this blog) you should visit the exhibition Punk: Chaos to Couture.

This extraordinary well curated exhibition about the Punk wave and its influence on fashion then untill now is worthwhile a visit. Around hundred designs of contempory designers who are still now influenced by the Punk movement in their current designs are on display (a.o. Martin Margiela and Viktor & Rolf). It is presented as a multimedia experience with period music videos and soundscaping audio techniques. Enjoy.
