When we saw these Raf Simons leather boots on the runway, our first thought was—oddly—Michelangelo Antonioni's classic film Blow-Up. Maybe because they both deal with illusion, or because we can totally see Verushka wearing them.
Lowdown: Motorcycle styling; best worn with slim pants; the zippers are in keeping with Simons' obsession this season with multiple parts.
Price: $950
At: Seven New York, 110 Mercer Street, 646-654-0156

Like the Kelly and the Birkin, this Novak bag from Alexander McQueen is inspired by an actress: '50's ice-queen Kim Novak. Considering her dual roles in Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, her most famous film, we think the double fox-fur pom poms are genius.

Price: $2000
At: Alexander McQueen, 417 W. 14th St., 212-645-1797

If Rad Hourani were writing this blurb, it would be over already. That's because, for the soon-to-explode French-Canadian designer, it's all about extreme minimalism. Thus, the concept behind this one-size-fits-all, unisex, sleeveless T-shirt—printed with the dates and times of a calendar—is that it can be worn by anyone, anytime.

You might think, given his collaboration with leather-goods house Schott, that Jeremy Scott is going butch. After all, Schott created the biker jackets worn by Marlon Brando and James Dean. But no, that manly legacy is given a swishy twist, like this rococo tea print of treasure trolls in pastoral repose. Also this month: Marni, Stella McCartney, Tom Binns and more.
