Who What Wear
Another year, another season full of exciting designer collections to ogle over. With the latest batch of fall runway shows coming to a close, it’s time to dive into what we do best: trend spotting. In this installment, we’re taking a break from the clothes to dive into the handbags that blew up the runways (and in turn the internet.)
While a number of enduring classics made an appearance—Valentino’s beloved rockstud totes and the famous Hermes Birkin were two examples—designers also weren’t afraid to dabble into the experimental side of things. The overall theme of this season’s emerging handbag trends was bold and multi-dimensional, playing on exaggerated shapes or outlandish proportions that almost dwarf its wearer. While some of the trends we’ve spotted are so dramatic, they’re certainly bound to be the subject of endless Twitter threads, other trends skewed way more practical. Regardless, we assure you they’ll be everywhere
