Paris Fashion Week FW07 Wrapup III

Instead of looking at the clothes, for a change, I'm only going to look at the accessories. Admittedly, I don't like Vuitton's new collection and I feel so-so for Miu Miu, but the reason for focusing on accessories is that the accessories are the main selling point to me (and most customers) of these two brands anyways.

Louis Vuitton
OK, for a brand that's supposed to be major bag sellers, these bags are just terrible. I don't care that the designs are collaborations with artists. The colours and designs are just not what I would expect from a luxurious house. But there's no doubt that come spring, I'll see rich women carrying the new multi-coloured monogram bag on the streets.
I seriously dislike that PVC, yellow and denim-monogrammed bag on the left. It's tacky even if you plan to carry it just to the beach. As for the purple bag on the right, I still have mixed feelings, (but would definitely not even consider buying.)

Miu Miu
Miu Miu is usually a major accessories galore for girls in their 20's. They're girly, cute, sophisticated with a funky edge.
For SS08, Miu Miu's shoes were all about the ankles -in different forms of ankle straps.
Even simple pumps had straps around the ankle. Some of the outfits also had this cream-coloured piece of cloth (whatever it's called) around the models' ankles or wrists.
It's SS08, why were there boots? I don't care they have holes along the calves! You have to be a serious fashionista (or fashion victim) to wear these boots!
As for bags, I didn't see many of them in the runway photos. The only bags I saw were these clutches. Cute, slightly bohemian and very girly, but I'm not too sure on their practicality.

  3. Hot damn, those bags are beyond fugly! The nerve of these designers to offer up ugly, tacky PVC crap at sky-high prices really offends me. Do they really disrespect their clientele that much? Do they really think we're all such slaves to fashion?

    Sometimes, I'll see a frumpy boring bag, with amazing materials and amazing construction (some of Bottega Veneta's stuff falls into this category, and RL stuff, too), and I can sort of see why women bother to buy them, but here-- it's an aesthetic ZERO, a construction ZERO, and a materials ZERO.

  4. GOD I HATE DESIGNER LABELLED BAGS!!!
    I mean why WHYY would you want something with dior or louis vuitton all over the front!?
    Great clothes speak for themselves, without a giant logo on the front.
