It’s official. In the same way I tried to will away skinny jeans and the return of the black tights circa 1980, I must now submit to the fashion powers that be on the staying power of the mega designer oversized clutch that is being carried by mega stars. I love fashion and style and try not to hide from new trends, but I also like function and I must be honest, clutches do not carry well in the NYC when you are hopping cabs and partying at Marquee. Even with table service you don’t want to leave your purse sitting at the table while you and Fergie get Fergielicious. All of that to say-I need a strap on my party bags. However, apparently many stylish women do not have such hang-ups over whether their purses hang-making the large clutch the soon-to-be hottest after hours luxury bag. Can you name the designers of handbags being carried by these hollywood moneymakers.
