Not been affected whatsoever by the recession? Read on. You’ll need all the extra coins you have to get hold of this piece. At $1,045, it’s not one for the ‘nouveau rich’ as Karl Lagerfeld would say. It sounds odd to say, but fashion isn’t in fashion right now – so carrying a Givenchy backpack might not be the way to go if you’re rocking a workwear-inspired look. Everyone else is free to rock this to their heart’s content. You won’t be ‘on point’ or ‘bang on trend’, but you’ll have a good bag.

I personally think this bag is dope, a little pricey but it will definitely give you an edge over the JanSports out there.

The a-morir by Kerin Rose line of accessories is so bomb. These Sioux Lace shades were worn by Rihanna way before Lady Gaga’s VMA red lace ensemble.

The Barracuda shades are the illest, in my opinion. Damn! And Rih rocked these in Jay-Z’s Run This Town video.

And yes, you can see through these babies.

Lisa F. Pliner, former member of Versace’s creative team and wife of shoe designer, Donald J. Pliner, is launching a namesake collection for Fall 2009. Acting as the Creative Director and muse of Donald J. Pliner (or DJP as I like to call him) for more than 10 years, Lisa is more ready than ever to branch out on her own.

While DJP’s are known for their comfort, Lisa’s line has the same benefits but with a sexed-up vibe. Featuring sky-high platforms, innovative straps, and supple materials like Haircalf, Lizard, Suede and butter soft Nappa leather, comfort has never looked so good. You can pick up a pair at specialty boutiques and Donald J. Pliner stores.
