This Marc Jacobs Colorblock Pochette is one of those bags were you either love it or hate it. With its conflicting colors, it is on trend; however I can’t help but feel this is one step too far. Instead of looking like a high-end fashion bag that you’ve just got to have, it kind of looks like Marc Jacobs got the left-over parts from his other, more beautiful bags, and threw them together to make this. With the mix-match materials and colors, coupled with the braided style strap, it just doesn’t work for me. Clearly it is popular amongst fans of the bag designer, and where Victoria Beckham goes, others are sure to follow. But for me even the always on-trend Mrs. Beckham can’t make this look like a to-die-for piece of arm candy, but rather like a school project designed by one of her boys.
Rihanna is one of the most beautiful pop-princesses to appear in the charts in recent years, and her music, fashion and hairstyles are always trend setting and make us girls green with envy. But one trend she will not be setting is for this Gucci Darwin Large Backpack. It is not only unsightly but perhaps one of the hardest bags to work out how the heck you are meant to carry it! It looks like a backpack but the strap makes it an over-the-shoulder, and the size and shape of the bag itself doesn’t help to solve that dilemma either. Although the exposed zips are in this season, even they can’t help safe this bag. And with that jacket, it seems Rihanna needs to call ‘SOS’ and hope for a new stylist!
Paris Hilton has it all – money, fame, the devoted boyfriend, and even a sister who is a handbag designer. But it seems that even she can get it wrong. Paris is always seen with couture handbags on her arm, and is a big fan of Fendi, Balenciaga and Hermes. But with its oversized flower and chunky strap, this bag looks like Paris wanted a bit of sister Nicky’s empire and fixed a flower to a beach bag. While this bag might go down well on the beach, it just doesn’t work on the red carpet.
Vanessa Hudgens has an army of young fans and quite a few male admirers, but she has tried to give herself a bit more credibility by becoming a bit of a fashion icon. But it looks like she has got it wrong here. Whilst the numerous exposed zips on this JJ Winters suede zip bag are definitely on trend, the suede just ruins the look and kind of makes it looks like a badly repaired bag. This look would have worked if it was a black leather bag; however this is more like Pocahontas meets Edward Scissor Hands.
Beyonce has always been considered the queen of cool, and in her days since Destiny’s Child she has definitely come into her own in the fashion stakes. However, if this Fendi Multicolored ‘To You’ bag is anything to go by, even the bootylicious Beyonce gets it wrong. Although she can pull of most trends, this one just isn’t for her.
