Rebecca Minkoff wears her "Becky" jacket inside her NYC studio.
In 2005 Rebecca Minkoff‘s “Morning After” bag crashed the fashion world. Almost overnight the M.A.B., as it’s called for short, earned a reputation of being the ultimate partner-in-crime for the work-hard-play-hard girls of New York City. Seven years and a six-month-old baby later, Minkoff’s name-stamped goods are bigger than ever, and although you might expect this new mom to drag around a decked-out diaper bag, like her “Knocked Up” carryall, she sticks with her roots, even if her days of being out ’til dawn are long over.
M.A.B. Mini Handle Tote
“I’ve been switching off recently between the East West Skull tote and the M.A.B.!” she says about her everyday go-tos that for now double as diaper bags. “The M.A.B. is the very first bag I designed and it’s still a staple for my personal wardrobe.”

The clutch is the bag of choice for fashion bloggers this season. The grab and go accessory that comes in more than a handful of hues is the necessary complement to Spring’s overflow of color and pattern. Get a grip on how to style the holdable handbag from some of the freshest faces in the online fashion sphere.
Stylist turned blogger Chriselle Lim, of The Chriselle Factor, works her butter yellow Rochas clutch in with a similar-hued snakeskin belt, a neutral blouse, soft leather separates, and tortoise shell sunglasses.
Paula Patton covers the Neiman Marcus Shoe & Handbag Book.
On-the-rise actress Paula Patton graces the pages of the NM Shoe & Handbag Book this season. The stunning screen siren, whom you might reconize from the most recent film chapter of Mission Impossible and the Oscar-winning film Precious, is a proud new mom with a killer figure, a dazzling smile and a talent for captivating the camera. For the spread, shot by photographer Walter Chin, Patton played the role of herself, an in-demand actress who has the confidence to wear bold color and print, carry a statement-making handbag and effortlessly brave a pair of scene-stealing, sky-high heels.
“It’s fun to get dressed up everyday, and we should do it more often,” Patton says when asked why she loves fashion. ”It’s not just for other people, it’s for yourself. It puts you in a better mood and it’s a way to express yourself artistically every day.”

When influencers from the worlds of technology, film, music and indie fashion converge upon the SXSW festival in Austin, the diverse expression of casual yet creative personal style can be dizzying. However, some clear themes emerged: bold color, denim/chambray shirts, florals and tribal prints. Booties, hats, statement handbags (including clutches for day) and loads of bracelets were the most popular accessories. We found much inspiration for spring/summer wardrobes and we can’t wait for next year! Photos by Kristen Spaulding and Jean Scheidnes.
It might be a stretch to compare a 21st century American designer to a 19thcentury French trunk maker, but that’s the ambitious conceit of the new “Louis Vuitton – Marc Jacobs” exhibit that just opened at Paris’s Musée des Arts Décoratifs and runs through September 16th. Visitors who climb the stairs to the first floor of the multi-media exhibit are immediately confronted with formal portraits of the two men: Louis Vuitton drawn in 1892 by Studio Reutlinger and Marc Jacobs peering out of a highly stylized Rankin photograph. The show, dreamed up by curator Pamela Golbin, compares the work of these two innovators in the context of the seismic cultural and industrial shifts of their times. In broad strokes, it’s an analysis of the fashion industry during two decisive periods of enormous change—19th century industrialization and 21st century globalization. That’s really where the similarities between Mr. Vuitton and Mr. Jacobs end. After all, what do 19th century steamer trunks have in common with $3,000 Murakami bags?
You would be surprised.
