Having
devoured the September issue of Vogue (did anyone else think it was unusual for
Vogue to use a largely unknown model – at least, Daria Werbowy is unknown to me
– instead of the usual celebrity promoting something for its September issue?)
in half an hour, I noticed all the A/W ‘13 trends seem to be pointing to one
thing – comfort in those long cold months. I know, I know. It’s odd to be
thinking of winter clothes in the midst of all this lovely August sunshine, but
it can’t be helped when all the magazines are full of editorials with gorgeous shearling
jackets layered over oversized jumpers. Unusually, for fashion, it’s all about
the practicality:
New this
year though, are fuzzy purses from Fendi and Phillip Lim. Pretty yet comfy right?
Everytime you need a hug, just have a cuddle with your clutch! I can’t help
thinking this furry trend is all down to little Quvenzhané Wallis, star of Beasts of the Southern Wild, who used
awards season earlier this year to show off her series of stuffed animal purses
(which she called her “good luck charm”), which all matched her dresses. The
bags grew so popular after Little Q wore them on the red carpet that the
creators, Poochie & Co, struggled to meet demand in the days after the Oscars.
I like to
think this Proenza Scholer lilac shearling bag is the grown-up version of
Little Q’s puppy purse. This Fendi one just took me right back to my childhood
on Sesame Street with the Cookie Monster. My heart melted at the sight of both,
to be honest. Would any of you judge me if I took the bags to bed – or at least,
a high street version of them - like a little teddy bear? Nope, thought not.
