Celebrities Fave "IT" Bags

We bring you a sneak preview of the must-have 'it' bags for spring/summer 2008, and the stars who are already ahead of the fashion pack.

Kylie Minogue and Mischa Barton with Chloe's Bay

Chloé's Bay has already achieved cult status, with devotees from Kylie Minogue and Misha Barton wiht multi-pocketed casual leather luxe - if we owned one in each colour.The taupe or gold versions are right in there with the metallic trend, but the Bay also comes in white, black, brown, shopper and mini version, for smaller budgets...

Jess and Jen with YSL Besace

YSL's newest creation defines everything that's now: laid-back, understated luxe.

Wear this one slung casually over a shoulder for a too-cool-for-school style. Only trained observers will be able to guess the price of your bag - the rest of the population will just think you're effortlessly chic

YSL's bag of the season is seen here in daytime version in beige or black matte leather. It also comes in a more glamorous grey velour with croc embossing, or - our personal favourite - crackled gold leather.

Lily Allen and Kirsten Dust with Chanel Croco

Chanel croc. Ideal for stepping out in style, but more practical than a standard clutch. Lily Allen has the answer: Chanel's Croco quilted bag. Kirsten Dunst recently sported her purple Croco with a red dress for a beautiful spring daytime look.

Halle Berry and Lindsay Lohan with Darel Python

The Python is a statement all on its own: it screams superstar, but superstar with clutter, just like the rest of us mere mortals. Halle Berry is a fan of the roomy, chic Python, and we love her very A-list look, with oversized sunnies for added glam. It's glam but not OTT. Lindsay Lohan has a metallic version (erm, how many designer handbags does she own?). Maybe it helps her chauffeur spot her when she emerges from nightspots a little the worse for wear?

Let us see what's the Spring 2008 designer handbag trends that you can carry all through summer.Spring 2008 designer handbag trends include simple black and white frame bags, exotic skins in multicolored form, and eye-catching candy colored handbags that top off any simple ensemble in style. Here are the top designer handbag trends for Spring 2008, straight from the runway:

Spring 2008 Designer Handbag Trend: Oversized Hobo Handbags
The hobo is back this season as a giant, multi-purpose tote instead of the basic carryall. Look for oversized styles that are fit for traveling with, especially in bright and bold hues including yellow, green, red, and bright blue. The Burberry Huxton Studded Hobo is a great example of this trend.
Spring 2008 Handbag Trend: Black and White Frame Bags
Zac Posen led the way in this spring trend with a textured trapezoidal bag with gold accents. Simple and sophisticated, black and white works well with a variety of outfits and will easily become the focal point of your outfit. Pair it up with black, white, or tan sandals, shoes, and ballet flats this spring for a complete look.
Spring 2008 Designer Handbag Trend: Exotic Clutches
Exotic skins continue to be a strong trend this spring, and the lineup includes oversized clutches with removable straps. Take your pick of luxe leather, metallic prints, and glossy patent leather for an eye-catching look this season. The Lauren Merkin Lucy Snake Clutch is made with snake-embossed suede, and available in navy or champagne.
Spring 2008 Designer Handbag Trend: Candy Colored Handbags
Candy colors are a top trend this season with pink, red, yellow, and orange leading the way. Pink is especially popular this spring and summer, and can be found in clutches, totes, hobos, and wallets. Use these pieces as the focal point of your ensemble and balance out the rest of the outfit with either a perfect match, or subdued colors. The Aerin Patent Mini-Satchel in cherry red is a great pick for this trend.
Spring 2008 Designer Handbag Trend: Camel and Black Combinations
This is a surprise color combo for spring since camel and brown are usually reserved for Fall season. Spring 2008 offers a fresh spin on this combination with weekender bags, oversized clutches, and even minaudieres decked out in these simple hues. Look for chic white piping for a sophisticated and clean-cut look. The Fendi Multicolor Spy Bag captured this trend for Fall, and continues into Spring this year.

Spring 2008 Designer Handbag Trend: Crocodile Tapestries
Multicolored crocodile skin bags add a playful touch to an otherwise super-sophisticated look, and Dolce & Gabbana led the way with this look over Fashion Week in September. Take your pick from bold colors with snkaeskin and crocodile blends, or just a multicolored croc in a bowler or oversized tote. The season's top color choices include pink/brown, camel/black, black/white, and red/orange.

Posh - Mr. Blackwell's annual worst-dressed List

The style guru Richard Blackwell's named his top best dressed list, included the two Australia's expected mums- Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett and also included Reese Witherspoon, Jemima Khan and Angelina Jolie.

But with the Hollywood new comer fan of skinny miniskirt Victoria “Posh” Beckham named the worst dressed on Blackwell's annual best and worst list.

Blackwell, an 85-year-old Los Angeles-based former fashion designer, first released his Ten Worst Dressed Women List in 1960, with Queen Elizabeth II, Martha Stewart and Dolly Parton past alumni.

"Forget the fashion spice - wearing a skirt would suffice," Blackwell said in announcing his list.

"In one skinny-mini monstrosity after another, pouty Posh can really wreck-em."

Beckham edged out another Brit for the unwanted honour, the drug-troubled, tattooed eyeliner-lover, Amy Winehouse, who was named second worst-dressed woman.

"Exploding beehives above, tacky polka-dots below ... she's part 50's car-hop horror," was how Blackwell summed up Winehouse.

Third on the worst-dressed list was former wonder twin, Mary Kate Olsen, whose style was described as resembling "a tattered toothpick-trapped in a hurricane" and fourth was another songstress, Fergie, who Blackwell said was "couture chaos".

Rounding out the worst top 10 was fifth placed Kelly Clarkson, derided for her "belly-baring bombs", then French Bond girl Eva Green ("Stuck in neon nightmares"), followed by Avril Lavigne ("Gothic make-up courtesy the mad spatula"), Jessica Simpson ("She's a global fashion curse"), Lindsay Lohan ("Fashion frenzy strikes again") and in 10th, former Little House on the Prairie bad girl Alison Arngrim ("Looks like a 1940's fashion editor for the Farmers Almanac").

Last year Britney Spears ("Style-free and fashion deprived") was named worst-dressed, beating out Camilla Parker-Bowles who Blackwell described as resembling a "parakeet from the Jurassic age".

Joining Kidman, Blanchett, Witherspoon, Khan and Jolie on this year's best-dressed list were Beyonce, Helen Mirren, Katie Holmes, Katherine Heigl and Prince William's on-again, off-again girlfriend, Kate Middleton.

Jennifer Connelly in Balenciaga 2008 Campaign Ad

Balenciaga Spring-Summer 2008 Womens Ad Campaign featuring actress Jennifer Connelly.

The Model-

Jennifer Lynn Connelly (born December 12, 1970 is an American film actress and former child model.. Although she has been working in the film industry since she was a teenager and catapulted to fame on the basis of her appearances in films like Labyrinth and Career Opportunities , she did not receive wide exposure for her work until the 2000 drama Requiem for a Dream, and the 2001 biopic A Beautiful Mind, for which she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress .

The Design

The clothing designer shapes, with their standout shoulder lines, hand-span waists, and belled (almost panniered) hip volume, marched in on vertiginous knee-high woven-leather gladiator boots. "Instead of a put-together thing like last season, I wanted total looks—ensembles, as we say in French," Ghesquière explained, "with graphic volumes like car bodywork. Sports cars!" Each look came with its undulating folds sutured together with curvilinear topstitching, the sculptural surfaces backed with sports-derived foam, and the hems sliced short by a high-tech ultrasound machine. There were dresses and matching "ensembles" articulated as jackets over mini-pelmets, over tiny shorts.
But would this be wearable? What a silly question. If Ghesquière's extreme embroidered "robot" leggings can sell out for squillions of dollars a piece, and last season's jodhpurs, blazers, scarves, and ikat prints can fuel a global industry of knockoffs, what has he left to prove? By the time you read this, the flower-printing mills of the world will have been activated overnight. Even when Ghesquière turns to intensely rich, rarified "explorations" of detail—check the cloisonné bejeweled heels of those boots—there is something so relevant in the execution that it is capable of turning on the fashion fanatics to whom price is no object, while also sending the mass market into overdrive. In that way, Nicolas Ghesquière is one of the very few who can have his cake, sell it, and sit back and watch the rest of the market scramble for the crumbs. (source..)

The Designer-

Fashion Designer BALENCIAGA, date of creation: 1937 It is not surprising that Spain has produced a genius like BALENCIAGA, capable of the most daring innovations in a superbly classic style. What is surprising is that this Spaniard became the leading French fashion designer.

His story began something like a legend : born in 1895 in Guetaria, a small fishing village on the Spanish Basque coast, Cristobal BALENCIAGA was still very young when it became apparent that he was destinated for Couture.

At the age of thirteen, he astounded the Marquise of CASA TORRES with his comments on her elegance. Realising his interest in Couture and his aesthetic potential, she allowed him to make a copy of the Haute Couture clothing she was wearing. Trembling, he did his work so well that she awarded him by wearing it. (more..)
