Marc Jacobs + Zac Posen

By Andrew Gow, 10:00 Wed 18 Apr 2007

Are these art deco-inspired handbags from Marc Jacobs’ main line the fashion antidote to the oversized bitch-sac? The semi-precious stones you can see in this clutch and satchel include lapis and amber, set squint to give them an earthy vintage charm. Take a closer look and you’ll see that there is even one made of what looks like concrete!

Zac Posen seems to be having a love affair with noirish frills and pleats at the minute. These pieces manage Park Avenue prissiness vs glamorous demimondaine. What a pertinent combination!
