Animal-Inspired Clutches by Judith Leiber

Lately every fashion lover has acquired at least one item featuring animalistic print. The most popular motifs among them there are doubtlessly leopard and zebra prints. So if you did not believe in the success of exotic prints, here you are. Now the trend for the prints have come our expectations. A famous fashion designer Judith Leiber has launched a series of animal inspired clutches.

These are not bags you can carry with just anything, this crystal embellished clutch looks probably its best when paired with all black. Hardly had the clutches appeared in boutiques, a wave of critics and admiration raised. Some women fell in love with a new trend, or it is better to say a new manifestation of the popular trend. While others consider new clutches absurdly extreme and inappropriate.

Actually, the clutches look super aesthetic: gracefully crouching animals’ bodies are covered from head to toe in hand placed Swarovski crystals. The few surfaces that aren’t crystallized are gold tone hardware, including the push-clasp fastening and chain handle that can be hidden inside for true clutch fashion. The interior features gold leather lining, wildcat clutches sport paws engraved on the base. And, of course, there you can see a tiny designer plaque.

Judith Leiber is known as the favorite designer of most celebrities, that is why I wonder if we will see any fashionista carrying an animal inspired clutch from Judith Leiber. The answer is unpredictable, I think. Anyway, these clutches are perfect for glamorous events, they are the sparkliest way to drive everybody’s attention and get numerous compliments.

And the last thing which is the least pleasant of all, the new clutches by Judith Leiber are really pricey. The price ranges from $ 4995 to $ 5495 depending on the animal. Do you think the trendy clutches are worth that much money?

Minimalistic Trend for Fall 2010 from Chloe

The world renowned fashion house of Chloe presented the Fall 2010 Collection where they returned to the signature aesthetic. As the face of the Fall 2010 campaign was chosen Raquel Zimmermann, the fashion model who has been noticed in Vogue US and has worked for Gucci.

The Fall 2010 collection by Chloe is based on beige hues. The only accessory that stands out on the background of infinite beige is handbags. Chloe has presented a great selection in handbags and the looks for the fall 2010 collection are gorgeous.

The bags feature an array of colors from deep plums, to candy reds, and warm chestnut. I was especially amazed by the diversity of styles: ranging from satchels to totes and shoulder bags there’s truly something for everyone.

Experts say that Chloe handbags for Fall 2010 are minimalistic, some say that they are rather boring. The thing is the designer returned to the classic shapes and classic styles. And I am sure that lots of women will appreciate this step at its true value.

Among the bags I would like to pay your attention to there is Chloe Aurore Bucket Bag. The distinctive feature of the bag is a drawstring that fastens the item. Aurore is made in traditional beige and can be bought for $ 1695.

Chloe Aurore Top Handle makes me think about travelling. For some reason I associate the bag with a suitcase. Gold tone hardware on the top goes well with the color. A very stylish and fashion conscious choice, I would say. But the item is quite pricey, it is available for $ 1995. Not that little!

I cannot but mentioning that Chloe presented several bags featuring pleated handles. Personally I adore the idea as it makes the bag look a bit romantic yet modern and urban.

Also there is a designer stamped padlock enclosed. Seeing from the magnetic clasp, the interior has a zipped pocket that is fully lined in black satin. The clutch is 12″ x 6″ x 4″ with a 15’’ handle drop.

Fashion experts advise to pair this designer clutch with a blazer and jeans, which allows you to add some chic and glamour into everyday lifestyle.

As we know nothing in the world is only good or bad. So while thousands of fashion lovers are saving money to purchase the novelty, there are those who seem to be frustrated by the new clutch from Marc Jacobs. They see it pretty boring, without rockchic style and too conservative. Many men, many opinions. The last thing to mention is the price - Marc Jacobs 2010 Rockstar Clutch costs $ 850. Do you think the bag worth the price?
