I had the all the colours of the rainbow and various fabrics but not handbag 101: black, functional, multipurpose. I would always admire the Rebecca Minkoff M.A.B. (Morning After Bag) Bag at the a2zane store on Queen. I finally bit the bullet at a2zane and purchased the M.A.C. Clutch which is smaller than the M.A.B. bag.

You see this shoe which will is the standout of the bunch with it’s own heel spike. I wonder if this shoe will actually be produced for retail.  It’s a bit cyberpunk for the Ice Queen. As always these shoes will be hot commodities.   You can try your luck  with the selection Holt Renfrew brings in or you can call your closest Alexander McQueen shop and get on the waiting list. UPDATE: I found some more great photos to share. images: eastnews.ru, vogue.com
