NYC Fashion Week Spring 2008 – Street Trends

There were two things that really stuck out for me in New York. 1. Men carried Manbags. All kinds of guys with all kinds of bags, not just the fashion insiders. I liked the look actually and I hope it spreads. Hell, I even liked the guy rocking the clutch at Phi. Find your Man bag here. 2. Goyard is king. I didn’t see a lot of Louis Vuitton, but I saw a lot of Goyard, fake and real. You could get Goyard fakes on every street corner. At night, every street corner had a bunch of guys selling handbags out of garbage bags and boxes. Fucking hilarious. For those that don’t know, Goyard is an old french company that makes very expensive luggage and handbags. images: balenciaga.com and businessweek.com

Natalie Envelope Clutch by Posse NYC My black clutches leave a lot to be desired; I would love to own this one and put the others out of their misery. Because like the Highlander, there can be only one. It looks like lizard skin but it’s only leather. Posse NYC also makes a creme version. As always there are no Canadian retailers but you can try online at www.possenyc.com www.couturecandy.com www.fengjunk.com image: fengjunk.com

Coach is now open in the Eaton Centre

I visited the new Coach store with a co-worker last week. That store offends all my sensibilities. I was bombarded with the horrible CC monogram those horrible patchwork bags were all over the place. I can’t remember the last time I saw so many fugly bags in one place. Actually, I don’t think I’ve every seen so many fugly bags in one place. The store is accessories only, no clothing. I didn’t see any shoes, but I could be wrong. Look at this hideous thing, who finds this appealing. I want to know. They did have the only thing I could find on the website that I liked. images: coach.com

Louis Vuitton Icone bag, 2006

It’s a monogrammed LV bag I can get into. This Louis Vuitton Icone bag is designed by Zaha Hadid. LVMH commissioned the bag for an exhibition. In the spirit of Marc Jacobs, who has constantly reinvented the House icons with flair and genius, Louis Vuitton has invited nine exceptional creative talents—artists, architects and designers—to celebrate nine iconic bags in an exhibition that will run from September 15 to December 31, 2006 at the “Espace Louis Vuitton”. The Louis Vuitton Icone bag is made of moulded plastic and comes with its own stand and two stools. LVMH press release image: zahahadidblog.com

Convertible Bag by Antrobus This is one of my favourite bags ever. All the different compartments and the added clutch and shoulder bag duo are great features. It’s pricey of course, $1,250USD Article that talks with Alison Antrobus, the designer. via luxist.com images: vivre.com
