THE RACK

Fashion highlights from the latest and most stylish happenings.



 

 

FIRENZE TOUCH
The new fabulous Firenze bag from Fendi lets you hold onto a piece of Italy. The inspiration behind the bag comes from the Renaissance streets of Firenze, the architecture of the Duomo, Uffizi, Santa Maria del Fiore and the famous Ponte Vecchio. The bag portrays Firenze as classic, timeless, rich and elegant. The city of Florence is home to the world’s finest leather goods and Fendi’s Selleria craftsmen. The bag is fatto a mano (made by hand) with the distinguishing traditional hand-sewn saddle stitching and contrasting natural wood and plexi doctor frame.

 
 
 
FOXY LADY
The Louis Vuitton woman is sophisticated and she loves fashion. The latest head-turning looks from Louis Vuitton are trapezoidal cocktail dresses, inside-out tweed inspired suits, modern handkerchief-skirted dresses and the ever classic vintage Vuitton blanket exclusively hand-stitched in Scotland. A touch of cheeky fox fur heats up the collection in mittens, leg muffs, and a big sleeveless vest. Leather is everywhere in the collection; in mini clutch bags, a strip at the hem and as fringe on boots. The shoes are sure to raise eyebrows with open-toe, black suede sexy heels and a twist of fancy fox fur to keep you warm.


  MILITARY TACTICS
Pre-fall at Dior takes inspiration from Edwardian undergarments fused with the smart military uniform. Military trenches are given a sexy feel with black fur shoulder detail paired with sexy knee-high socks and cute bow detail. For daywear, sexy lightweight peach and white coloured satin and chiffon lingerie- inspired dresses give a romantic feel. The dress is paired with a militant short leather jacket and tights with satin ribbons.

     
 
SUMMER MADNESS
The colourful Kate Spade Summer collection is super eye-catching for that much anticipated beach getaway. With colourful eye candy straw interwoven bags, shocking pink heels and an aloe vera green dress, you are sure to be the fashionista at sea. It’s off to the beach we go!

  SPECIAL EDITION
Gucci’s partnership with UNICEF enters its 6th year and this year, Gucci launched the Sukey bag in grey “La Pelle Guccissima.” 25% of the retail price for each bag sold will go to UNICEF’s School for Africa campaign. Available in over 20 countries, the bag’s name Sukey derives from a major fundraising event in New York in 2008, when the winner of the auction received the opportunity to name a Gucci bag and chose the name Sukey.
     
   
   
VANITY BLUSH
Check out the cute new Vara beauty pouches from Ferragamo. Great for women on the move and they come in four different shapes and sizes. The design stays true to its iconic style with a little Vara bow decoration and metal finishes with Ferragamo’s signature on the zipper.
