Deconstructed: The Anatomy of a Marc Jacobs Bag

Deconstructed: The Anatomy of a Marc Jacobs Bag

It’s fair to say Marc Jacobs has launched his share of shock-value campaigns – he made Miley Cyrus the controversial face of his S/S 2014 campaign and Jacobs posed naked for his Bang men’s fragrance ad in 2010;  but his newly launched Incognito bag gives homage to ‘understated’.

Deconstructed: The Anatomy of a Marc Jacobs Bag

A modern interpretation of a doctor’s bag with clean lines and hand-constructed pleat detailing, the Incognito is now available at Marc Jacobs stores in a range of custom colours and materials (price ranges from $2,100 – $38,000).

TMagazine brings us this up-close exclusive video, showcasing the painstaking process of constructing a Marc Jacobs bag (comprised of 124 different pieces) at Jacobs’s atelier in Milan.

Check out our pictorial of the new ‘Incognito’ bag – deconstructed!

Beautiful Editorials: Fashion At The Circus – A Freak Show

Beautiful Editorials: Fashion At The Circus - A Freak Show
Looking back at some of the best fashion shoots we’ve seen, we stumbled across this blast-from-the-past and realised we’d not actually featured it in our Beautiful Editorials section. Given this ‘fashion at the circus freak show’ is animated (we’re a little obsessed with all things GIF) it’s certainly worth featuring as one of the best and beautiful (albeit slightly nightmarish) editorials to date.  Thanks to the duo fashion photographers Pamela Reed and Matthew Rader (AKA Reed + Rader), Freak Show takes us on a whimsical journey held in a circus setting. Meet all the different performers in this animated fashion shoot…

Graceland–Inspired, “Attack of the 50 Foot Woman”, photographer Cara O’Dowd created this fashion story featuring Grace as a giant with some killer style. Wearing pastels selected by stylist Lydia-Jane Saunders, Grace poses in a lush garden setting modeling designs from the likes of Lovisa, George Wu and Gucci.

Style Files: The Hot Three

style files, hot three, boohoo boutique

There are three items of clothing that I’m somewhat obsessed with right now. Actually, the obsession goes beyond ‘right now’… I placed my order for this trio the moment the new boohoo Boutique range dropped (thank goodness I purchased these before viewing the range, as all three sold-out straight away and they’ve only recently restocked) and I’ve been enamoured from the moment my delivery arrived over a month ago.

Those that know me will confirm I’m regularly donning one of the three and had I not deleted my entire photo shoot by erasing the wrong memory card (less than ideal) which showcased how I style each piece, you would have been able to see just how wearable & versatile each one is. Oh, and if you follow me on YouTube, you’ll recognise one of the dresses from my last video.

Each piece is well-tailored, fits perfectly, is totally versatile and transcends just one season. I’ve worn this trio throughout the final days of summer paired with sandals and heels, and now that the cooler season has arrived I’m still wearing all three, only now I’m pairing them with tights and boots (and I’ve been overwhelmed with how many compliments I’ve had when wearing them, and by how many people have asked where I got my dress from). So if you’ve perused boohoo.com recently and were wondering which items to choose, I can absolutely guarantee, you won’t be disappointed with The Hot Three…
