Often the best plans are the simplest ones. This clutch is as sleek and minimal as can be, but Anya Hindmarch proves subtlety can be a most powerful force. At least when the leather is gorgeous, the details are perfection, and the trim is, well, trim. What makes the effect so smooth?
Now that Reed Krakoff is free of his consuming Coach duties, I am confident his line will continue on as a strong contender in the snob world. He already has all the A-listers on his side, and he will likely gain a few more with this deliciously laid-back addition. I’m loving this new style, even though it’s not quite as versatile as I would like it to be.
It is all about camouflage for Fall ’13, and Prada didn’t have to try too hard to properly jump on the bandwagon. Out of the Marmo capsule collection, two of their signature tote styles make a fine palette for a pallid camo print, one that really hits the spot.
Sad news – summer’s coming to a close (although you wouldn’t know it from the sweltering heat I’m in). Now is the time to fill your closet with a new season’s worth of accessories, and what better way to transition into fall than with ombré? Choose a subtle barely-there illusion or go dramatic à la the neon degrade on Proenza’s dot clutch.
