Lanvin Silver Hero is impossibly chic and just exudes style and polish. You all know how I adore Alber Elbaz, he has seriously never disappointed me. Whether it be dresses (my Lanvin spring dresses are starting to arrive at Barneys! Just picked up the ivory one today), bags, belts, or killer cone heels, Lanvin is the ultimate for me. What other designer delivers on every aspect of it's line? Hermes has it's iconic birkins but the Gaultier designed clothes are so boring, Chanel bags are the good ol' classics but the clothing of late lack inspiration (I mean how many little Chanel tweed jackets do I need? They all look alike after a while), Fendi should have stuck with the ever popular baguette instead of a slew of hideous self proclaimed "it" bags (although I love it's line of clothes by Karl), everyone agrees that Jimmy Choo shoes are fab but the bags should not be seen in the light of day, and Valentino, well you guys knows how we feel about it's line of bags. But Lanvin, Lanvin is magical, and yes, I am biased but don't tell me this bag doesn't make you want to whip out your Amex! We love the chunky chain links, it's more youthful and fresh than classic chain straps and it modernizes the traditional baguette shape. We also love the buttery soft metallic silver lambskin, think of silver as the new black in your bag wardrobe and wear it with everything! $1,200 At Barneys New York Dallas469-221-4723 (The best staffed and stocked Barneys store, including the very dapper Jackson, Barneys' Personal Concierge who can get you just about anything your heart desires)
