Love Tom Ford but hate the hefty price and weight of his bags? The Jennifer is one of his most iconic styles, but the earlier version featuring a giant zipper-trimmed flap adds so much heft, you have no choice but to wear it crossbody if you want to walk straight.
While I may not be adventurous enough for a crazy, fun hairstyle these days (the ’80s were a whole different story!), I can definitely project that side of myself with the right bag. Like this twist on the fur-covered front flap by Valentino.
The most common question I get asked when people find out what I do is: “So, what’s the hot bag right now?” Of course I could tell them to just read my blog, but instead of being snarky, I opt to be helpful and rattle off a list of current bags that are the most relevant.
I love Tom Ford’s version of the classic Hermès Kelly top-handle tote. A riff on the quintessential style, the Icon is still infused with his signature details, like an oversized zipper and well-placed, high-impact hardware.
Father’s Day, Mother’s Day…or don’t wait! Beeline for Bergdorf Goodman if you can afford a small splurge because even the most jaded will have a hard time not getting excited to start playing with Tom Ford’s new launches.
I’m a sucker for a fun fashion gimmick, but I have to admit I’m a little taken aback to find the above one from Tom Ford (this kind of creative design kitsch is more Chanel, no?).
