Fara Collection Spring / Summer 2011

August 23rd, 2011

Fara Collection is a young brand launched in 2007 by designer Tiziana Fara Turin. Make your bags by hand, choosing lines and uniquely decorated with the utmost rigor and demands that the production is entirely Italian and more limited edition which supports high quality. For a few years this has become a very popular brand. The idea is a bag that is also a piece of art, yet easy to wear, extremely functional.

 

The spring-summer 2011 takes into account all these factors. The line pads Leone recover the old packaging, or advertising of the famous candy bags of aromatic revisited that summarize the entire color palette of the trend this year, the fluorescent green to orange to bright blue. Each bag combines the tastes of candy colors. There are green tea, Merchant of Venice, Licorice and Cinnamon. But a selection of handbags is also inspired by the confetti, recycled and applied to the bag.

 

Iris bags instead choose the lace, decorative fabrics of a more feminine than ever, a real must-have for a few seasons in this part and still protagonist accessories. But there is also room for the python (which we saw also appreciated for next season by Chloé).

 

lady gaga and the Birkin studded

August 15th, 2011

We have already seen that like to customize Lady Gaga – some would say ruined – her bags, especially the most valuable. Do not care, or maybe doing it on purpose, the barbaric violation of a style icon that horrifies any purist but also who would be the a Birkin bag in a different way without encroaching on the religious and obsessive care of a fetish.

 

First it was the turn of the white Hermes Birkin botched by written greetings to their Japanese makes, but this time a large black Birkin is covered with black-tipped studs. It is not clear whether this was a special order or if the house is the work of Lady Gaga. What do you think? A demonstration of a mess ol’ennesima huge egos?

August 9th, 2011

The blonde Ashley Olsen, famous for her looks as a woman, a lover of fur and the good life, felt a need to have the Hermes Birkin bag.

 

Olsen, now also become a fashion designer, wants at all costs to have the diamond pattern Crocodile, made with the best crocodile skins and manufactured by artisans Carthusians.

 

The bag is not only expensive, but has fourteen carats of diamonds, a very long waiting list and a cost of $ 65 000.

The company Hermes said:

 

We have a massive demand. We can not fulfill it because they are limited by our ability to train new artisans

 

And ‘the case to say one thing: $ 65 000 for a Hermes handbag, surely so beautiful, but expensive as hell. Just a snob like the Olsen could want at all costs!

Birkin from the Rolex, the accessory as sculpture

August 1st, 2011

Since the object of worship (to wear) to an object of worship (to show). From leather bag covered in plastic. From container contents. Shelter Serra by Hermès. From the Birkin handbag Homemade.

 

Conceptual artist, artistic Serra in his complaint, stripped of its function, the bag, which becomes a container without content. A different result in form but not substance than that seen at the Frieze Art Fair 2010 (of which I have escaped the author’s name).

 

But not only Birkin bag. Serra applies a concept similar to the Rolex, turning the wrist watch in a timeless, reminiscent of Natalia Brilli Leather.

 

These and other objects are on the new site Grey Area. Interesting project in which art takes the forms of fashion accessory, but when I noticed that before the artists arrived conceptual designers to create jewelry (rings patch another example of Michelle Lopez, whose form and whose concept do not differ much from those of Isabelle Lenfant).

 

The smartest move that a landowner can do Birkin? Throw a random pattern on the ground next to a model of Hermès Serra (and wear the cloth of Sportina Thursday Friday).
