MARC by Marc Jacobs Leola Zip Hobo
I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a Marc Jacobs bag, by either the diffusion line or the main one! Actually, I've never been excited by a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. This Leola Hobo is the perfect mix of trendy playfulness and polished design. The zipper has undeniably replaced the studs this season but instead of randomly throwing zippers for the sake of the trend, this design incorporates it in elegant asymmetrical style.

Emilio Pucci Marquise Bag
Peter Dundas is a seriously underappreciated talent. This former designer at Roberto Cavalli and Ungaro--now creative director of Emilio Pucci--has never let his passion for cutting-edge design be marred by trends or corporate restraint. The same can be said for the Marquise bag, his first bag (not to mention the only one launched with a name). While it was first introduced for resort, I think it's a fabulous bag for year-round use. It just reeks of seduction and aristo-rebel attitude but is elegant enough for dinner at Mr. Chow or Kaviar Kaspia. When Peter first showed this bag to me over coffee at the Mercer Hotel, he explained that it was named in homage to the Palazzo Pucci, infusing the luxe Florentine house with some indie rock n' roll spirit that only he could provide (I was just thrilled that nary was a colored swirl in sight!). Available in two sizes to suit all statures, the classic box shape is wrapped in black suede while a fully-lined canvas interior keeps the bag as light as can be. Sure, naysayers will note its similarity in style to Chanel or Lanvin bags, but check out those killer silver ring piercings that edge the entire bag! Break out the Balmain or Alaïa mini! The chain shoulder straps are great, too--perfect to wear as a normal handbag or across your body for a girl's night out. For the quintessential--not to mention updated--Pucci girl, this bag is right on target.
Small ($1,435) & large ($1,595) available at Pucci stores, Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.
Tips For Sneaking Into New York Fashion Week
New York Fashion Week is mere days away and the invites to the most coveted shows were sent out long ago. If you’re not a celebrity, fashion editor, socialite, or 13 year old blogger with a kooky hat, then your presence was not likely requested for this season’s tents–but you can still watch some of them from home, on your computer.
Anyway, if you happen to be in New York, a fashion show is not necessarily contingent about being on the VIP list; it’s all about dressing the part and feeling confident. Since the theme of “tent-crashing” has been a hot topic in the news this week, we’ve put together a list of 5 separate pieces to help you fool even the cleverest of PR door bitches–not to be worn together, of course.
Massive Sunglasses
Lying to the best fashion PR people in the business can be more than a little nerve racking, but the last thing you want to do is show the fear in your eyes. Larger than life lenses give you an instant poker face. Bonus points if you keep your shades on throughout the show à la Anna Wintour.
Roxy, $75
Loud Prints
In the world of high fashion, in order to blend in inconspicuously you must dress conspicuously. This means if you show up in a boring black dress you won’t fit in with the dozens of fashionistas waiting to enter the tents. People who work in fashion pride themselves on personal style, and save their most eclectic outfits for fashion week. A loud print will speak volumes of your style savvy. Also remember to play it cool and casual, if you look like you’re trying too hard, like showing up in an evening gown, you will immediately be deemed a fashion nobody.
Elizabeth & James, $275
Elaborate Heels
As painful as chic heels can be, fashion week is not the time to bust out your flats. Slip on your favorite funky shoes that you saved for months to buy, and strut your stuff.
Rock & Republic, $214.35
Vintage Jewelry
Fashionistas love to show off their individual style with one-of-a-kind vintage jewelry. Turquoise, western inspired pieces are a good way to get the vintage look without having to sift for hours through dirty thrift shops.
Anthology, $98
Chic Caplet
A basic jacket is oh so passé in the world of fashion. Throw on an unexpected caplet and you’ll sweep right through the velvet ropes and into the front row.
Organic by John Patrick, $202.50
If you don’t have immediate access to the fashion tents, you can catch many of this season’s shows streaming live on the Internet. Prove your style skills and take one of our taste tests.

Move in a unique fashion brand Burberry, electrical his upcoming fashion show in 3D live at exclusive events around the world this month, also in Dubai.
Burberry is the first time that a live 3D broadcast of their Autumn / Winter 2010 Womenswear collection directly from the job in London. The show will feature some of the top supermodels in the world and always, dozens of celebrities.
Dubai, along with Paris, Tokyo, New York and Los Angeles, was chosen to design the invitation to host-only event in the vicinity of the luxury label for the occasion.
"This unprecedented event, so people's energy and experience the atmosphere of this event from around the world," said Christopher Bailey, Burberry's chief creative officer. "3D technology will our global audience in the London area to show them the colors and fabrics, try to bring the music to hear and a part of that time, when it finally comes together."
The event represents something that is a development, both in the way in 3D and during the decommissioning of fashion often impervious to the exclusive club.
Following the success of movies like Avatar in 3D, which is more than 1 billion U.S. dollars worldwide since its release held in December 2009 the technology will move into the television screen. With a 3D televisin and a few not-so-stylish glasses, the possibilities are endless for 3D rendering. Last week was another first - the screening last week of a Premier League football in the United Kingdom.
And during the two annual fashion shows in London, Paris, Milan and New York were once the exclusive domain of wealthy, powerful journalists and fashion industry insiders holding coveted invitations to events with a stricter door policy as the Pentagon, the Internet opens the fashion world to the public. During the final round of runway shows in September and October 2009, began like many labels, including Burberry, streaming their shows live on the Internet and the opening of what was once exclusive event for anyone who cared to see - and lead to an army the Fashion bloggers.
