High Tech Couture: The Future of Fashion
Fashion designers have never been afraid to break the mold, and with the rise of 3D printing, they can now create a brand new one with each different design. They’ve already experimented with the medium on everything from ready to wear (Francis Bitoni and Michael Schmidt’s dress for Dita von Teese) to bags to jewelry.
Snob or Slob? Jimmy Choo Castina Sequined Shoulder Bag: Fraggle Rock ‘n’ Roll
Frisky and fun or funky and fugly? While there is something definitely smile-inducing about this baby evening bag, I can’t help but keep thinking it resembles a house-cleaning tool that resides under my sink…
Elise Dray Dragon Articulated Ring: A Jewel of Fire and Ice
Chalk it up to me being in Asia (and a Game of Thrones addict), but I’m suddenly drawn to all things dragon. If I can’t have a real one to turn my enemies to ash, I’ll just have to get my ice and fire from Elise Dray’s articulated full finger ring. Even though the French designer’s collection is only four years old, the fantastical scope is far from small.
Smythson Panama Tote: Happiness is Shopping
While most totes are bottomless abysses, Smythson’s Panama has a sense of organization. It has a detachable pouch (stamped with the letters “HAPPINESS IS SHOPPING”) that can moonlight as a clutch. There’s no closure, though, so some risk is involved. I would just use it to transfer my essentials from bag to bag.
Sergio Rossi Suede Flared Cutout-Back Pump: Pink Peacock
Like father, like son! There must have been some shoptalk at family dinner (wouldn’t you love to be a fly on the wall at that house??) because this season both of the Rossi men are creating covetable flared back pumps. The Rossis are too talented – Gianvito’s their third generation of shoe designing genius.
Moreau Brégançon Tote: French Class
Maison Moreau has been perched on Paris’ coveted Rue Saint-Honoré for well over a hundred years, where they make high-luxury trunks and leather accessories.
