Bag of Noten

Saw this in the August issue of American Vogue and had to post as this is really cool. Dries Van Noten bag within a bag. I love the idea of the mock croc prim and proper handbag inside this battered looking khaki satchel looking like something Indiana Jones might keep an artefact in. I haven't seen it anywhere else on the world wide web, apparently it's available at Macy's. If anyone knows anything else about this bag, please let me know.

Everything in American Vogue is airbrushed to within an inch of its life, so much so that even the model's legs look tubular – like sausages – okay then chipolatas! All the interesting bits that make up a person's physique have disappeared under the artworker's mouse. Methinks Ms Wintour should ease off the Photoshop a bit.  I don't know about the US, but over here in the UK, there's a bit of a backlash against excessive airbrushing. The latest culprit being Keira Knightley's enhanced cleavage for Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. Keira is famed for her lack of bosom but Chanel have certainly given her more up front.
