An object lesson in the importance of designer handbags in this year’s Paris prêt-à-porter catwalk shows for Autumn - Winter 2008. Or maybe the designers just have a bondage fetish, who knows? The fact is, designer bags have expanded the earning potential of all the big fashion houses and more than half the models carried bags as they strutted their stuff in Paris (March 2008).

With identical short, black, fringed bobs hiding their eyes and dark plum staining their lips, the 38 Yves Saint Laurent models marched through the bright, white, modernist tent in the Grand Palais to a hyper-techno beat with a precision that matched the impeccable and passionate tailoring of their clothes.

There was just one look for each – “I’ve learnt not to try and show every single thing,” said creative director, Stefano Pilati – and not a single handbag on show. “Everyone knows we do bags, why clutter?”

“Coco” Chanel once remarked “there is no fashion for the old”.

	Lagerfeld transformed classic Chanel items into fresh, young looks

In Paris yesterday, her successor at the famous French fashion house, Karl Lagerfeld, seemed intent on proving this was true.
As the singer, Rihanna, 20, and the boho-dressed Olsen twins, Ashley and Mary-Kate, 22, watched from the front row, Lagerfeld offered one of the youngest collections ever to bear the Chanel label.
Models with messy teenage hair, sprinkled with gold, and hardly any make-up, save for a slick of gold shadow on their eyelids, appeared in ripped denim mini-skirts with black, knitted ‘sloppy-joe’, boyfriend jumpers.
They wore clingy, girly sweater-dresses in grey, trimmed with baby-pink, and accessorized with berets with a badge on the front, or tight, clubby dresses in black crochet or black PVC. Even the classic, Chanel ‘cardigan suit’, which opened the show, had drunk from the elixir of youth.

In a creamy, pastel tweed, the jacket had its collar tucked under and featured a deliberate “designer hole” in one elbow, while the mini-skirt was decorated with “customized rips” in the same manner as way teenagers tear open and fray the knees of their jeans so they look “distressed”.

The mood of high spirits and youthful fun was reinforced by the catwalk in the Grand Palais, which encircled a pale cream, specially-made carousel with oversized Chanel quilted bags, strings of pearls, earrings, bottles of scent, logos and shoes replacing the traditional, painted wooden horses.

t was possible, however, to discern the occasional item not designed for the under-25 market. The cardigan suit, for example, also appeared in more conventional form, with a belted jacket and maxi-skirt to the ankle. The length had something to recommend it: It hid most of the curious two-in-one tights which were black from the back and nude, textured or lacey from the front.
There were also well-cut tweed dresses with long, egg-shaped, cardigan-coats, trimmed with Mongolian goat-hair, and one classic, tailored black suit, with white cuffs and collar and a white camellia, the signature Chanel flower, at the neckline. The Paris prêt-à-porter season for next autumn/winter, concludes this weekend with the collections of Chloé, Hermès, Nina Ricci, John Galliano, Lanvin and Louis Vuitton. Read more »

At the Spring Collections in Paris, American designer Marc Jacobs mixed past and present to come up with a formula for fashion’s future in a radical showing for Louis Vuitton on the closing day of the Paris prêt-à-porter season.

	Marc Jacobs used mix of dusky tones and black for his Louis Vuitton collection

Jacobs recreated 17th-century pannier skirts in cashmere and corduroy and paired them with 21st-century tailored jackets and polo-neck sweaters - plus, of course, a chunky Marc Jacobs Stam bag as shown in the photo.

The metal “cages” which fashionable women of the era wore underneath their skirts to keep the wide shape were re-styled as a form of clearly visible large “belt” or jewellery for the hips.

Accessories gave the finishing touch with the addition of a stylish “super-Fez” in black plastic or satin plus architectural chunks of stainless steel, in the manner of a modern building by Frank Gehry turned into gigantic necklaces, chokers and cuffs.

Jacobs, who has been creative director at Louis Vuitton for ten years, named the collection “my French fashion fantasy”.

This collection, which will be worn by Louis Vuitton fans in for autumn/winter 2008/09, was shown in dusky tones of pale sage, cream and rose, contrasted with black, with the emphasis always on the oversized shape.

Sculpted jackets with squared-peplums came with “tulip” skirts, with folds of fabric at either side, or balloon-leg trousers, tapering in at the ankle and shown in both pastel cashmere and black leather. An alternative trouser suit was comprised of a red, sleeveless tunic with matching red leather ‘zouave’ trousers.

Evening gowns featured a tight-fitting bodice allied to a balcony-style skirt, attached at the hips by a series of deep folds and were worn with musketeer-style gauntlet gloves.

The footwear was just as modern: clumpy shoes and boots balanced on a platform sole and stack heel.

When you buy a Designer Handbag, make sure you get your stuff organised. The value of your Bag can be severely reduced if the lining is smeared and dirty, so take care of it. Here are some ideas to help you:
1. Do not overload - apart from anything else, a heavy bag is bad for your back, but being overloaded also ruins the line of a bag and stretches the leather. I carry a tote as well as my handbag to work, which acts like a mobile in-tray. Choose one without built-in dividers as these can be really annoying when you’re trying to squeeze in something big like a file. Read more »

When the House of Louis Vuitton first revealed Murakami’s Multicolore Design Bag at its Spring 2003 show, the phones were red hot. Every batch of these bags was sold before they even left the factory, such was the excitement that fuelled solid demand for these designer bags. This is a design that you will either love or hate - it makes the Luella Gisele look positively discreet! Featuring numerous images of Louis Vuitton’s intricate LV logo in 33 colourways, the design is difficult to imitate. But that has not deterred the counterfeiters, so make sure you are buying the real thing - if you can afford it.

Things I never thought I would say: ‘can I sit in the massage chair now?’ But since my Mum bought one of these cuties there has been a queue every time anybody visits her! This black leather armchair looks really funky but it conceals a mechanism that ripples and buzzes in order to relieve those twinges and aches. Just the thing when you have been toting a heavy designer bag around all day!
