Ma’am, your purse is open
It’s kind of stupid but I secretly like the wonkiness of these half-open-half-closed handbags. Fendi came first with its Peekaboo (now in umpteen sizes, finishes and colours), followed by Celine with this zippy number (above). It’s part of the whole ‘I’m so busy I just don’t care’ thing that’s going on and is popular with the type of girl that throws her coat over her shoulders because she doesn’t have a spare second to put her arms in the sleeves.

SS13 trend report: Chanel accessories
Chanel’s ready to wear doesn’t always do it for me but the accessories are a different story altogether. SS13′s surpass themelves – these Lego-esque Boy Brick box clutches are future collectibles, while the triple-strapped shoes have the right mix of fabulosity and femininity. And my favourite piece of jewellery is this huge ‘pearl’ bangle which fastens with a powerful magnet. Wonderful, no?
Accessory alert!

Loewe: I made this
Loewe:
Masters of Leather on Nowness.com.
Loewe has done a lovely job of highlighting three of this year’s biggest macro trends – craft, heritage and luxury – in this short film by Matthew Donaldson for Nowness (ah ‘fashion film’, there’s another tick). Using Richard Avedon’s In The American West as a visual reference (oh to have a copy of this collectable tome), it’s a celebration of the leather workers’ graft and craft in creating the signature Amazona bag.

LFW ss12: Anya Hindmarch’s Lost & Found
As I mentioned before, Anya Hindmarch likes to take a theme and run with it. For her SS12 showcase at London Fashion Week, she hired the defunct Strand tube station along from Somerset House and themed her collection accordingly. Continue reading
Watches and Clutches
Watches and clutches – don’t they we go well together! I don’t know if it’s Tommy Ton’s attention to micro-styling or simply the breadth of choice out there, but I can’t help noticing how many people are coordinating their clutches to their watches. Even Garance is at it… Continue reading
