The Bags of the Season: The Clutch

The Alexander McQueen answer to this season`s clutch.
Trends to watch for on this season`s It clutches:

  • Super simplicity
  • Extra long lengthhhhh
  • Gothic or baroque detailing
  • Retro glitz (anything covered in sparkly stuff, from crystal to rhinestone!)
  • Conceptual kitsch (over-the-top and unique ideas)
  • Elegant feathers
  • Ribbon-entwined chains
  • Scarlet reds
Remember: this season's evening wear and accessories is all about old school Hollywood GLAMOUR.

3.1 Phillip Lim makes a clutch almost as simple and elegant as his fashion line's name/

This Bottega Veneta clutch is reminiscent of a McQueen- but very much toned-down.

This awe-inspiring piece of clutch-art is a Judith Leiber creation- with a subtle back-drop this piece could steal the show at any cocktail party or dinner!

If you just can't handle having a miniature zebra in your palm, there's also this more reasonable (but no less glamorous) fan clutch by Leiber. 

This Lanvin clutch captures more than one of the season's trends- ribbon-entwined chain, elegant feathers, and a gothic feel.

Who could resist this classy yet playful Louboutin stunner-of-a-clutch?

Maison Martin Margiela produced this clutch- a lesson in how stunning minimalism can be.



OH MY GODDD: Why is this Miu Miu clutch SOO cute?!

One heck of a gothic clutch from McQueen- love the finger holes.
