I love beautiful bags

The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul have experienced a series of “FBTR quakes” in the past thirty days. The sizeable 8.5 FBTR quakes have left some business leaders dazed in this major metropolitan area of 2.7 million people while inexplicably others such as Kara Richter, founder of From Bags To Riches, have proclaimed this event to be “a welcomed surprise” and stated “this may be just the beginning.”

In January 2005 Richter was interviewed by Leeza Gibbons on her nationally syndicated show Leeza at Night. FBTR has benefited from numerous feature print articles that have appeared in: Fort Worth Star Telegram, Saint Paul Pioneer Press, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Minnesota Business Magazine and I talk News. In addition Bags To Riches has appeared on WABC NY, CBS4 Denver and Arizona 12 News.

Company Chairman, Samuel Mangiere stated, “The large quake is the synergism affect received as a result of the expansive media attention.” For the period ending May 31, 2005 company officials released data showing FBTR product orders increasing 300% over planned sales and corresponding web traffic quadrupling since the first of the year.

Company founder, Kara Richter, credits the strong growth in luxury designer brands and the hundreds of FBTR raving fans in conjunction with the overwhelming media attention for her new company’s strong sales performance. Richter states, “Consumers are tired of faux, fake and replica designer products that don’t deliver pride of ownership and are of poor quality. FBTR’s goal is to deliver Authentic Designer Handbags at a fraction of the cost of ownership while delivering the feel good confidence one gets from wearing an original Louis Vuitton or Chanel.”

FBTR is an internet based and Home party direct-sell woman’s handbag emporium that encourages customers to borrow an authentic designer purse for a month and for a nominal fee, and then exchange it for another. FBTR was launched October 2004.

Louis Vuitton EPI Alma

A cute Louis Vuitton EPI designer replica handbag is always on my wish list. Browsing through it’s history, in 1985, When Louis Vuitton introduced the Epi leather line, people who go in for fashion recognized the deep relationship between EPI leather and color. Through great effort, Louis Vuitton had used a variety of colors in it’s EPI bags.

Among the wide range of LV EPI bags, the EPI Alma is particularly favored among business women. It is beautiful and elegant, actually. It is made of luxurious EPI leather with smooth leather trim. It has no exaggrated Louis Vuitton logo, while a LV signature at the bottom of one corner. It features rolled leather handles and zip top closure which can be secured with a small extra padlock for safety and easy access if you’re travelling with it. Even if you want to compare the bag to the padlock on your friend’s Chloe Paddington, it would never let you down.

This elegantly hand-held carryall has excellent capacity for holding agenda, cosmetic case, phone and essentials. I’m sure that the replica Louis Vuitton Epi Alma is very classy and will always be along side with the Speedy. If you are a woman who wants something understated and not too showy, that’s the perfect for you. Thanks to the simple and gorgeous style, it will match well with everything you wear.

I really want to know why is it named the Alma – the name comes from the Paris square, Place de l’Alma. The underpass below the square was where Princess Diana was killed in a car crash in 1999. Diana was a big fan of Louis Vuitton designer handbags, and this bag is an overdue tribute to her.

I like the purple Alma. What about you? Such an oversized bag that can be dressed up for formal occasions, or can be adapted for casual wear. Replica handbags of the line are just waiting for owners.

I’ve got to have it

When everyone was flush and willing to spend, flaunting an item with a wait list conferred a special status that mere money could not buy. But now the whole notion of systematic exclusivity is being reordered.
“You know it’s all artificial,” confided one seasoned salesman at a Madison Avenue designer boutique. “We just reorder if someone wants something that badly.”
A former executive of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton confirmed this suspicion. “I think the numbers are greatly exaggerated,” the executive said. “And do the people actually show up when the merchandise comes in? I don’t think so.”
It was probablyPrada that first brought the wait list to mass-produced fashion, back in 1995. Suddenly women all over the world who were used to paying any price for the look of the moment found themselves frantically adding their names to long lists in a pedestrian-looking looseleaf notebook the Prada handbag salespeople in New York called “the reserve book.”
“That was the first time anyone ever handed me a book when I was shopping,” recalled Samira Nasr, a freelance stylist. “Prada understood that women obsess about things that are hard to find. If I see a whole pile of sweaters I’m not going to want them, but if you tell me there are only two of those sweaters, then I might think: ‘Oooh, do I need this? Yes, I’ve got to have it.’ “

It is fashion

There is a dress with the United States called “natural beauty.” “Nature” has a lot of explanation, we put this in the garment with the United States and refined as follows:

Choose your own shoes

If the chrisitan louboutin shoe doesn’t fit, don’t buy it. It won’t stretch enough to be comfortable and goodness knows, your feet will never shrink. Make sure you follow these guidelines:

There should be about 1/2″ between the tip of your biggest toe and the end of the shoe.

Stand up when being fitted because feet are longer when you’re standing.

Buy shoes at the end of the day when feet are largest.

Measure both of your feet - they may not be the same size.

Stay healthy
It may sound chic to say you have to suffer for fashion, but corns, bunions, hammer toes, shortened calf muscles and ingrown toenails don’t sound like “must-haves” for the fash pack. These afflictions may be exactly what you’re getting when you reach everyday for the stilettos instead of the Rockports.

A report last year from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons found that only 21 percent of women wore high heels (more than two inches) to work, compared with 34 percent 10 years ago, according to OnHealth.com. Instead, women are reaching for sensible chrisitan louboutin shoe

The ideal shoes? Some podiatrists recommend one-and-a-half to two-inch chunky heels with padded insoles and plenty of room for the toes to move, according to eFit.com

Improve foot health

Limit the amount of time you wear high heels. Alternate with good quality flats for part of the day, and choose comfort shoes for weekends and casual use.

Choose shoes that give your toes room to move. Experts recommend laced, rather than slip on shoes for best fit.

Make sure your sandals have straps.

For high heels with thin soles, you can even have a thin rubber sole cemented to the bottom of the chrisitan louboutin shoe to cushion the foot.

According to Dr. David Stege, a specialist in foot and ankle disorders, even nylon pantyhose can cause excessive perspiration which may encourage fungal infections like athlete’s foot. “Inexpensive nylon pantyhose can also cause forefoot problems…the cramping and pressure of the hose can contribute to ingrown toenails and hammertoes,” according to his web site.

Special foot considerations
If you’re over 65 make sure you choose lightweight, shock-absorbing soles that are not slippery and  leather uppers that breathe.

If you’re pregnant, realize that your feet may grow a full size — give up the high heels! Look for substantial, comfy styles with thick, supportive  chrisitan louboutin shoe

Comfort resources
Rockport - Athletic, career, trend — this company makes it all. Great quality and design make this a comfy classic.
Hushpuppies- The famous suede flats were hot a few years ago, but the comfy sleek styles still look modern with plenty of casual and corporate casual looks. A cult classic

The fashionable news about handbag

THE MOD SQUAD: These ’70s-inspired bags come in acidic patent brights. “A bright orange, lime, black Jimmy_choo goes well with the hot solid patent shoes,” says Poste,adding that patent also gives a polished accent to the season’s shiny fabrics. Black and white are key, especially in solid patent or two-tone stripes, checks, dots or houndstooth.
PEARLIZED PATENT: This is a softer finish than slick high-gloss patent. “White pearlized patent has a warmer finish making it a better match for natural earth tones, compared to stark white,” says Poste.
GOTTA BE GUCCI: Gucci has set some major handbag trends for this season. The Gucci horse “bit” continues to be an important trim. Also bamboo handles and turn locks on curvy, flat front bags. And the return of Gucci’s shorter, wider shoulder strap bag so that you “cuddle the bag when you carry it,” explains Short.
EXOTIC FINISHES: “Python is the most important textile treatment for spring,” says Short, adding that dalmatian spots and zebra stripes will move forward into fall.
PRADA AND PRADA-ISMS: Nylon continues to be Prada’s signature classic handbag fabrication in black, mocha, brown and ivory. “The knapsack is phasing down, replaced by totes, messenger bags and smaller flap-front bags,” says Short, noting that Prada’s new alternative to nylon is black, highly polished calf leather. Also, Prada-inspired nylon “big shopper” totes replace briefcases and update backpacks, says Poste.
STRAW: “The big news is that they’re becoming more dressed up,” says Short.
“This seasons straws can be carried to work or used for dressy weekends. Shapes are larger but not as oversized as beach bags.”

We are all faking it these days

In this, the age of the accessory, women tend to fall into two groups: there are those who adore shoes and there are those who adore bags. Me, I am a replica bags lady. At the last count, I owned about two dozen. They are my fetish object of choice and they come in all shapes and sizes - in canvas, leather and string, and in wool, crochet and basketwork. Some I bought on whim, others I chose only because they matched a certain dress or skirt. I have one - a crocodile-skin clutch - that I inherited from a great aunt. It’s the most divine thing. I do, however, have my limits. The most I have ever spent on a handbag is - whisper it softly - £280, for a leather number by the Irish designer Orla Kiely. (Look, it’s beige, so it goes with everything .) To spend more than £300 on a bag is, I think, just plain stupid. Would I like to own an Hermes Kelly bag? Of course, preferably in baby blue. But the truth is that even if I could bear to christian louboutin join a waiting list, the sums involved (£8,000) are ridiculous. The same goes for the Louis Vuitton Sac Plat. For reasons I cannot quite explain, I adore the Sac Plat - a shopping bag for women who have their hair blow-dried every single day. How much is a Sac Plat? Oh, only £400.  It was the Vuitton Sac Plat that I pictured in my mind’s eye when I began researching this piece. I wondered, in the first instance, how easily I might come by a decent copy. I chose the Sac not only because I covet it, but because it is a ‘classic’ bag rather than a ‘hot’ bag and is thus less likely to be a target for counterfeiters (who, just now, are concentrating their efforts on the Murakami, which features the LV logo in several colours on a white background). My search did not take long. In fact, I did not even leave the house. I simply put the words ‘fake bags’ into Google. Two seconds later the entire Louis Vuitton range was on my screen. A remarkably slick-looking facsimile Sac Plat could be purchased for £60. The many internet sites now selling fake luxury goods stand as testament to the increasing sophistication of the world of the counterfeit. Fashionable but impoverished girls in search of a bit of Gucci used to head straight for the nearest market: Wembley and Portobello in London, Canal Street in New York. There, they would pick up the latest bag, belt or sunglasses for a song, and who cared if it didn’t last beyond the end of the season? No longer. These days, some fakes are so good, even the editor of Vogue would be hard pressed to spot the imposters (which is why they’re more expensive than their 10-quid-a-throw predecessors). Moreover, you can buy them with a credit card, the same way you would a book on Amazon. In the end, as a kind of trial run, I ordered a ‘Lous Vuitton’ (sic) wallet from a site spe******ing in leather goods and watches called www. bestreplica.co.uk. (Counterfeiters often make the mistake of thinking that slightly changing a brand name protects them from the law, but this is not the case: the Trademarks Act specifies that it is an offence even to use any design or logo that is ‘confusingly similar’ to that used by its owner.) It set me back £49, as opposed to the real thing, which costs upwards of £150. I was not entirely hopeful that anything would arrive at all; the site worked OK, but the bags themselves were photographed against a background of white skirting board and beige carpet, which was not exactly reassuring. Ten days later, however, my postman handed me a padded envelope with a Chinese postmark and customs label. Inside was a battered but perfectly genuine-looking gold-brown Louis Vuitton box. Inside this was an equally genuine-looking Louis Vuitton felt pouch. And inside this was my wallet. It was not a bad fake, but it was not a brilliant one, either. The monogram design did not look like it would wear away in seconds, which is the usual problem with Louis Vuitton copies, and it did at least appear to be made of leather. On the other hand, the thing was held together with glue as well as stitching; the credit-card slots were roughly cut; and the clasp, given a good yank, was in danger of coming off in my hand. Still, the fact that the wallet was an expensive disappointment was, in another way, probably a good thing. Given what > < I subsequently learnt about the murky world of the counterfeit, had it been exemplary, I would have been in an agony of indecision as to what to do next. Log on again and get myself that oh-so-longed-for bag? Or switch off the computer like a good global citizen? According to a recent survey by the UK Anti-Counterfeiting Group, a third of us would knowingly purchase counterfeit goods if the price and quality were right, and 29 per cent of us see no harm in the selling of fake goods unless the purchaser is in some way at risk. Meanwhile an estimated £6.4bn is lost to the economy every year - the government alone loses £1.7bn in VAT to counterfeiting and piracy (the clothing and footwear industries lose around 3.2 per cent of their annual revenue; the toy and sportswear industries an amazing 11.5 per cent). The effect on the economy, however, is only half the story. According to the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol), counterfeiting and piracy - a global trade worth some $ 250bn - is rapidly becoming the preferred method of funding for a significant number of terrorist groups. Trafficking in counterfeit goods is still a relatively low-risk criminal activity. In general, the law enforcement agencies do not treat intellectual property crime (IPC) as a high priority, and when they are initiated, investigations tend to be seizure-based and rarely extend to following onward flows of money. Sentences are, moreover, relatively low when compared to those for, say, drug trafficking, while profit margins are high. Interpol estimates that profits raised from counter feiting are similar to those from drug trafficking. ’Unfortunately, the big guys are attracted to counterfeiting because the risks are still relatively low,’ says Ruth Orchard, the director general of the UK Anti-Counterfeiting Group (ACG), whose members include Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Chanel, Gucci, Rolex and Burberry. ‘The manufacturers and importers rarely get stung. But their profits fund some very dodgy activities.’ Asked to come up with a specific instance, Orchard told me that the Organised Crime Task Force in Northern Ireland estimates that 41 per cent of organised criminals are involved in intellectual property theft and two-thirds of organised gangs in the province have paramilitary involvement. To give you an idea of the size of the figures involved, in 2002, the police in the province seized counterfeit goods worth in excess of £6m. The vast majority of these items were cigarettes and DVDs; a significant proportion, however, were luxury goods including bags and watches. Interpol has yet more examples. In Kosovo, a significant proportion of consumer goods available for sale are counterfeit, profits from which are likely to benefit both organised criminals and ethnic-Albanian extremist groups. The same goes, to a lesser extent, for Chechnya. In 2000, a joint operation between Russian law enforcement agencies and private industry resulted in the break-up of a CD-manufacturing plant. According to the officials involved, the plant was a source of financing for Chechen separatists. Interpol is also aware that North African radical fundamentalists are financed through IPC. One militant, who has been active in Europe for the past decade, has been recently convicted of trafficking counterfeit goods. There is also evidence that both al-Qaeda and Hizbollah are involved in IPC-related crime. ‘The public,’ says Bryan Lewin, lead officer for counterfeiting at the Trading Standards Institute, ‘tends to think that fake luxury goods are just a bit of harmless fun. But they are wrong, and need to be educated.’ Cartier is currently involved in 2,500 legal proceedings and devotes $ 3.8m annually to its crusade; Louis Vuitton has more than 1,000 active cases each year. Last month, it was revealed that Tiffany has sued eBay, claiming that the online auctioneer has aided violations of the Tiffany trademark by letting counterfeits be sold on its website. The company claims up to 73 per cent of the ‘Tiffany’ jewellery sold on eBay this year was fake. Lewin believes that, unless sites such as eBay learn to be more attentive, this case is likely to be the first of many. Burberry, too, is highly aggressive in its efforts to protect the exclusivity of its brand. In 2001, when its famous check was enjoying its fashion comeback, the company issued a statement in Draper’s Record . ‘We watch out for our trademarks,’ it said. ‘Anyone who uses our name, or checks identical or confusingly similar to our Burberry check. . . will hear from our lawyers.’ Last April, Croydon council reported a raid on a retailer in which illegal copies of Burberry handbags and scarves were confiscated. Trading Standards officers were ‘acting on a tip-off from an investigator working on behalf of Burberry’. Statistics suggest that only 3 per cent of the traffic in counterfeit goods is seized by customs. So, for most luxury-goods companies, vigilance has necessarily become a way of life. ‘It’s all about intelligence gathering,’ says Ruth Orchard. ‘Shell > < companies tend to disappear very quickly, so you need trained investigators - ex-police and ex-customs - to go beyond them. You also need devices that enable identification of genuine goods, such as holograms and codes, and this must be a rolling programme since the counterfeiters take only about two months to catch up.’ Serial numbers, like those on a genuine Rolex watch, are no longer enough to prove that the item in question is genuine: some counterfeiters put a genuine but less valuable movement inside a more expensive Rolex casing, with the result that the watch is neither properly a fake, nor as valuable as its face might suggest. For this reason, Rolex will no longer tell the owner of a watch whether or not it is genuine solely on the basis of the serial number that it carries; to be sure of its provenance, it must be examined by an expert. But however much indignant noise the luxury-goods companies make about the counterfeiters (and putting aside the links with organised crime for a moment), do fakes really affect their sales? Were they to disappear, would those who used to buy them be found swinging past the doormen who stand outside the stores on Sloane Street? In the fashion world, opinion is divided. ‘There is no doubt that this is a serious problem for these businesses,’ says Roger Tredre, editor-in-chief of the internet fashion christian louboutin bulletin Worth Global Style Network . ‘The luxury sector is pinning its hopes for the future on the strength of demand in China, the biggest market in the world, which also happens to be where the majority of fakes are manufactured. If an entire market ends up being quite happy with a decent counterfeit, they’re going to be in trouble. We’re not talking about a few students; we’re talking about people who could afford, or might afford, the real thing but who end up buying a fake instead. In China, we’re not even always talking about fakes, but surplus goods manufactured in the same factory as the real thing and then siphoned off and sold on the black market. It’s too easy to take a kind of Naomi Klein view of counterfeiting - that it’s great for “the people”. You could be depriving someone of a job.’ Has Tredre ever owned a fake? ‘I once bought a fake Rolex on Canal Street for about $ 10.’ He laughs. ‘And, of course, it never really worked.’ Others are more sanguine. ‘It’s difficult to get to the bottom of the facts,’ says the fashion writer Sarah Mower. ‘I’ve just been to China and I think the counterfeits are a double-edged thing. In remote parts of the country, they create free advertising for when people start to trade up. Apparently, one trend in China is for those who have bought the real thing to keep the sales tag on it as proof. I think the fashion houses should probably be pleased when people start copying: it’s a sign that opportunity is on its way. In theory, Bernard Arnault (who runs LVMH, the conglomerate that owns several luxury brands, including Louis Vuitton) hates it when his designs are copied. But when stuff is ripped off, it’s fashionable. It’s a kind of weather vane. It would be far worse not to be copied. That would be a bit pathetic. In fact, if I were the desperate CEO of a struggling company, I might go out and try to persuade these people to copy my designs.’ Big fashion houses worry about the ‘pollution’ of their brand; they want a certain kind of person (Kate Moss or Gwyneth Paltrow, preferably) to be seen wearing their logos, not the entire population of Barnsley. But even if they could stamp out the production of fakes, they can’t control this, as the famous photograph of the former EastEnders actress and cocaine addict Daniella Westbrook dressed head-to-toe in Burberry check testifies (the picture was proof positive that Burberry’s fashion moment was officially over). In truly hip circles, logos are only worn in an ‘ironic’ way, so a fake really is as good as the real thing. ‘If it’s obvious that something is a fake, it can be funny,’ says Andy Capper, editor of the uber-cool style magazine Vice . ‘I’ve got a $ 15 Rolex. It goes with my gold rings.’ Only ‘Chavs’ truly like logos, he adds. Kira Joliffe, founder of the thrift magazine Cheap Date , agrees. ‘I don’t have ethical reasons for not buying fakes,’ she says. ‘But honestly, who wants to wear real Louis Vuitton, let alone fake? It’s sad.’ Unsurprisingly, at an organisation like the Anti-Counterfeiting Group, such blase attitudes fall on deaf ears. Ruth Orchard is uncompromising. In fact, she and her members would like to see the law changed so that it becomes an offence to be caught buying or in possession of counterfeit goods. ‘I don’t regard the idea as too swingeing. The only way to stamp out counterfeiting is to dry up the markets. We can educate consumers, but a change in the law is the only real way of doing that.’ What about those who genuinely believe they are getting the real thing? (Apparently, lots of women turn up at Rolex clutching watches that they have been generously given by ex-lovers, only to discover that they own a rather deft fake - these watches are known in the trade as ‘fuck-me gifts’.) Orchard is frosty. ‘Mostly, people know exactly what they are buying.’ I think about my ‘Lous Vuitton’ wallet and my hitherto urgent need for a fake Sac Plat and, feeling suitably chastened, I quickly hang up.

Perfect Christianloublutin shoes

Christian took a flagging business and gave it a flagship, the Christian Louboutin Pumps. Liz Smith reports on the fashion insiders’ favourite accessory and a business reborn
The sharp shoulder pads that were in fashion during the power dressing of the Eighties might have been designed for one purpose. They served as the perfect supportive cushion for the gilt chains on the decade’s most popular bag. The reborn Chanel classic bag, originally created in the Thirties in quilted leather with chains slotted through with leather strips, remains one of fashion’s most powerful status symbols.
Practical and decorative, it has spawned hundreds of chain-handled imitators. Most are sued by Chanel. All are spurned by fashion purists for whom nothing will do but the original.
Little seemed to challenge the Christian Louboutin Evening until the arrival on the fashion insiders’ shopping list of another original. Halfway through the Eighties the alert among fashion professionals discovered in the glass-domed Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele in Milan a new bag and a new label. Although it had the familiar gilt chain handles slotted with leather it was indeed an original. The chains were held through sturdy gilt grommets punched into a quilted bag made beautifully out of tough-looking industrial nylon, in bright orange, red and yellow as well as black, navy and beige. It had a snobbish air of luxury lightly worn. The fusion of classic craftsmanship with industrial materials looked modern and very Milanese. Inside each nylon bag was a small navy leather-bound booklet with the history of the bag, justifying its price tag of Pounds 175 up. Today, on the small metal triangle embedded on the outside of each bag was the new name to tote with considerable pride, Prada.The standard size bag, approximately 10in square, costs Pounds 210. A 13in x 19in bag with wooden handles is Pounds 205.
The only comparison today between the Chanel bag and the Prada (chain handles have long since gone into the general fashion vocabulary) is the status they share in the style-conscious mind. The bag with which Miuccia Prada turned around the flagging fortunes of her family business (founded by her grandfather, Mario Prada, in 1913) remains the best seller.
But today it is only part of an expanding fashion empire with a Pounds 15 million turnover. In five years its retail outlets have increased from the one showcase in Milan’s Galleria to eight around Italy. There are shops in Paris, Madrid, New York, Beverly Hills, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore. In London, Prada bags can be bought at Browns, Joseph, Pellicano and A La Mode. Prada shoes, sleek shapes in colourful leather, fine suede and wild silk, have been added to the range. Prada clothes were introduced two years ago. Their strong sculptural style in heavy silks and linen or thick cashmere, suede and cavalry twill for winter, have a cult following. They are available in London only at A La Mode and Joseph. A T-shirt sporting the word Prada in sequins costs Pounds 75; a short skirt covered in shells costs Pounds 315.
Everything that carries the Prada label has the stamp of the strong personality of the founder’s granddaughter. Yet Miuccia Prada, now aged 41, was an improbable and reluctant candidate to restore the family fortune. She had taken a degree in political science and spent five years as a mime artist before taking an interest in the family leather goods business, which her mother and aunt had been running since the death of their father. Her interest was no doubt fuelled by Patrizio Bertelli, the owner of the factory that made Prada bags, and now her husband.
‘’I did not think of going into the business. It just became more important to push through my ideas,'’ she says. ‘’Making an expensive bag in nylon was not considered commercial. It had only a limited clientele and the factory did not want to go on with it. But I liked the idea of working with opposites. I wanted the contrast of the artisanship with a modern industrial product. It all began with a nylon bag with two zips, like a camera case, beautifully finished in leather.'’
Prada is still very much a family business. Miuccia’s brother, Alberto, is the financial director. Marina, her older sister, is in charge of special stock for the shop. Her mother watches, in some amazement, the success of today’s unconventional Prada products. ‘’She thinks it was all much better in the old days,'’ Miuccia says.
With two sons, aged two years and nine months, her time is divided between creating the collections and her homes in Milan and Arrezzo, near the Prada factory. She looks on the collections, bags, shoes or clothes, as part of the same lifestyle. ‘’The design is the last thing we think about,'’ she says. ‘’We work on a look. We have the concept. We make hundreds of samples before I am happy.'’
Her grandfather had some avantgarde ideas for his day, too. In the Twenties he indulged such mild eccentricities as making tiny silk bags with ivory clasps carved as monkey faces. He imported the first strong nylon trunks for the Prada shop. The metal triangle of the Nineties logo is taken from one of Mario Prada’s original trunks.
Today, his granddaughter centres tiny beads on square petals of Lycra for a skirt. She makes sweaters out of Donegal tweed to wear over mink shorts. Trapeze capes and hooded shift dresses are carved out of thick cashmere. A cire satin trenchcoat is worn over cigarette pants in stretch cashmere and velvet. ‘’It is the small details that make the big difference,'’ she says.

New name with shoes of Christian

Christian took a flagging business and gave it a flagship, the Christian shoes. Liz Smith reports on the fashion insiders’ favourite accessory and a business reborn
The sharp shoulder pads that were in fashion during the power dressing of the Eighties might have been designed for one purpose. They served as the perfect supportive cushion for the gilt chains on the decade’s most popular bag. The reborn Chanel classic bag, originally created in the Thirties in quilted leather with chains slotted through with leather strips, remains one of fashion’s most powerful status symbols.
Practical and decorative, it has spawned hundreds of chain-handled imitators. Most are sued by Chanel. All are spurned by fashion purists for whom nothing will do but the original.
Little seemed to challenge the christian shoes until the arrival on the fashion insiders’ shopping list of another original. Halfway through the Eighties the alert among fashion professionals discovered in the glass-domed Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele in Milan a new bag and a new label. Although it had the familiar gilt chain handles slotted with leather it was indeed an original. The chains were held through sturdy gilt grommets punched into a quilted bag made beautifully out of tough-looking industrial nylon, in bright orange, red and yellow as well as black, navy and beige.
