TORY BURCH Metallic Hobo

At the fashion shows of 2011, designers granted us a rich and blissful visual experience thanks to the generous use of metallic shades. While traditionally more associated with Fall/Winter fashions, gold, silver, as well as the endless shades of these base tones have been employed to decorate the various Spring/Summer clothing and accessories.
This metallic hobo from Tory Burch (“the most copied designer in America,” according to The Los Angeles Times) is an elegant example of how to do the metallic trend right. A nice-size bag with grand glamour and flirty (detachable) tassel detail, this hobo is a real eye-catcher and just the ticket for any kind of outing, be it work-related, or an afternoon with friends.
(RRP US$395)


This season, apparel and accessories of all sorts -and even make-up- get amped up with heavy metal, on and off the runway.


Kanye West missed out on music’s biggest night --the Grammys, that is, on just this past Sunday (13 Feb), where, incidentally, the metallic trend hit a high note -- in favour of attending the NYFW, including bestie Tory Burch’s presentation.
