OK, who came up with the idea that when a women needs her hands as free as possible, that she needs to carry a bag in her hands?! The clutch can be a nuisance, but let’s face it girls, it makes the outfit! How many times have celebrities been shamed on the red carpet because of their bag? (Or praised for it?) I have to say that Alexander McQueen’s new clutch is a revolutionary idea. Instead of having to actually hold onto the bag, you can stick your fingers through the skull jewel-encrusted loops and the bag doubles as a rings and a clutch! The skulls are a trend that has been on the rise for a while. This “trickle-up” trend started nearly a decade ago, and it is my belief that it had to do with 9-11, but that’s just a hunch. For those of you who don’t know what “trickle-up” is, get ready for fashion 101. “Trickle-up” is when a style comes into vogue from the street up to the runway. (And yep, you guessed it, “trickle-down” is when a style comes into vogue from the runway down to the streets, and this one is the most common theory of all… but I digress.) This McQueen bag encompasses everything that one needs in a clutch, and even mimics a “hands free” device. I hope to see other designers using this style to make our lives just a little easier.
Run towards this bag fashion friends!
