I always encourage people to shop second hand because it offers the buyer versatility in style. I am not “ANTI’ mainstream fashion, all I want people to do is realize that fashion caters to you! Meaning we should not compromise for fashion. If the dress isn’t what you want then don’t buy it! If you buy it, then adjust it to your taste! Fashion trends are not a requirement, they are tools of the trade for creativity! Etc. Etc… Now, what does all this have to do with that fabulous bag above? Well, it’s the basis of my point. The bag above is from a collection inspired in a way by “DIY” fashion. The design house Fendi recruited stars such as Adele (who created the purse above), Tracey Emin, Cara Delevigne, and others to help design handbags for charity. The sales of these “Peek a Boo” bags will go to a UK-based charity Kids Company, which supports inner city children. I love when fashion helps to improve life beyond clothing. Fendi is embracing the agenda that I’ve been pushing the most… Fashion is YOU! Customization is something that the High End markets are grasping quite quickly. Micheal Kors and Marc Jacobs offers customizable mens watches and now even COACH bags are jumping on board by adding customers initials to their Bleeker Sleek Brief mens shoulder packs. I have a feeling this will become the norm in the future, especially since the 3-D printer is available to the public. I will actually be doing and article on 3-D printers soon; it’s impact on the Fashion industry is remarkable. For now, just bask in the glow of that lovely bag above and remember, YOU make fashion, not the other way around.
