The Lady Dior for next autumn
May 16th, 2013
The Lady Dior needs no introduction; it is one of those famous bags that remains timeless, as suggested by the fashion house Dior itself.
The Lady Dior is a leather bag, and one that is a true work of art. It has managed to accumulate many fans around the world. The company is well aware of this fact and does not miss an opportunity to make sure the bag doesn’t fall into monotony.
Given the above, Dior often uses images that provide a new look to the accessory. The company has again chosen for Dior’s muse as image, Marion Cotillard, who in turn gets to represent the character of the French house.
Jean-Baptiste Mondino has led the photographic campaign and the actress poses with the new Raf Simons designs. In spite of being a collection for the fall season, we cannot find any of the usual colours for such collections.
With the campaign and the actress chosen as muse, Dior tries to add a sophistication air to the collection. And the result of the campaign is worth it, as the photographic work proves to be of high quality.
Between the possible variations of the popular Lady Dior model, we highlight the following, as seen accompanied by Marion Cotillard.
This bag has very little, if any, autumn colours, and I believe it would be more suited for spring. By choosing a pastel colour for the autumn season, it might be a gamble, but, then again, it could also turn out to be a success.
The colour and fabric chosen for this bag is slightly more suited for autumn than the previous model, however, this bag makes a far bolder statement.
As already mentioned, colour seems to be the most important feature for this popular model. Dior has also opted for a strong colour here: orange.
The campaign delivers, although it is clear that the fashion house did not want to take a risk. Instead, Dior has opted to use the image of the Oscar winner for the fifth year on a row. Marion has adopted the role of Dior muse since 2008, and is seen as a style icon by many women. Until thus far was the nature of the relationship between Dior ant the actress, and now, she has taken it one step further and created a leather bag for the French house.
Inversely proportional
May 13th, 2013
Over the past seasons I have written a number of the articles. You might have noticed -on more than one occasion- that my favourite type is the clutch. I really try to go for other bags, especially tote bags, as I find them practical and very easy to carry around. Yes, those are the words I would use for describing the main difference between a clutch and a tote bag: large bags are practical.
Now, in the latest collections, we see that small-sized bags overrule any other types of bags. If you find that clutches are quite small already, than check out these minis… they could become an even bigger problem.
Designers have seen a niche in creating handbags that are not necessarily used as bags, but rather a piece of jewellery in the shape of a bag. This word, jewel, is one of the most recurrent words in the fashion business today, as designers want to turn everything into just that, jewellery.
Martina, the springtime handbag by Roberto Verino
May 9th, 2013
This season, Roberto Verino has decided that his leather handbags should be the main features of his fashion collection. And he intends to do this by presenting one of his creations called the Martina bag.
This leather bag is meant to represent the spirit of spring. For that, bright and cheerful colours are the perfect options for a springtime feel. The colours chosen by Roberto Verino are done consciously. You could say that green would be one of the best colours to represent nature; red is one of the most used colours; fuchsia is one of the most feminine colours of this time; silver has been replaced by gold; and last but not least, the essential colour black.
