If the bride-to-be happens to like a dress she tries on

Don't plan on buying a ticket on the Louis Vuitton Express unless you're ready to drop a lot of dough!

The fashion house used an $8 million train for their fall runway set, and for the very first time, resumed on the same track for their fall ads!

The campaign was shot by Steven Meisel, but wasn't photographed on the train itself. A backdrop of the locomotive was created to follow the same idea!

Marc Jacobs, LV's artistic director, said of the set:

“We wanted to continue the journey we started with the fashion show. The glamour of travel and the romance of going somewhere.”

The expensive choo choo will be making its way to Shanghai next month for another epic show like the one that was done in Paris, and we can hardly wait!

All aboard!

When G-Star opened entered the Chinese market with the company's second flagship in 1996, they planted the seed for a 20% annual sales growth.

With that kind of financial encouragement, they plan on expanding their business all across China — 200 outlets in the country isn't enough.

G-Star RAW commercial director, Camiel Slaats, explains the direction the company's headed in:

Our growth has been very healthy from start to now. We are adding five to 15 shop-in-shops and monobrand stores per year, and we are now in all the main cities.

The Chinese consumer is getting more fashion-conscious, and there is a bigger group of Chinese consumers who are looking at fashion and denim products.

And they plan on continuing their 5-15 units for at least the next five years.

They also plan on building another flagship in Shanghai coming October. We're so excited for them!!

Scarlett Johansson was in China this week to fulfill her duties as the face of Moët & Chandon.

The redhead made an appearance at Shanghai's Peninsula Hotel Monday night in an emerald dress with "glitter dots" and lace insert from Marc Jacobs' A/W 2011 collection.

Rihanna also wore this dress in her spread for Glamour and she made this dress look sexy.

Scarlett, however, just looks old and frumpty dumpty.

For some unexplainable reason, Mischa Barton was at the opening ceremony for the Shanghai Film Festival this weekend.

Mischa walked the red carpet in an equally confusing ensemble that was half dress and half mermaid gown.

We don't know what to make of this. Everything from the waist up has potential, but anything below that is a hot mess.

Do U agree???
