Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2021

The star of the Rebecca Minkoff Spring/Summer 2021 New York Fashion Week collection was, of course, the bags! I once had a Convertible backpack like the one in this collection- it doubles as a hobo which is just so versatile it would be the envy of the gays. Here, it was paired with a leopard…

Moschino Fall 2019

The show stealer this season: object bags! The collection expanded upon previous spray paint and Fresh cologne bottles and phone cases to include bags that look like Windex, toothpaste, champagne, slot machine, cash register, hair spray, a blow dryer, dish soap, a quarter, and an iron…I love the campy ironic and nostalgic aesthetic Jeremy Scott…

Fendi Spring/Summer 2017

Laser cuts, stripes galore, intricately gorgeous bags, the Fendi Spring/Summer 2016 runway show was full of utilitarian pockets, voluminous sleeves, truly wearable takes on the PJ’s movement, and how Karl can anything be without shade(s)? There was something odd about those aprons…err- slip dress mutations, and I can only see them serving as a cover…

Betsey Johnson Rips Off Moschino & Fendi

      Betsey Johnson’s got some adorable inspired-by’s, taken from muses Moschino (Milk carton bag) and Fendi (bag bugs and those cute monster backpacks).  I honestly think her originals are more cute.
