Where fashion observers talk of oversized accessories for fall, this moon-sized men's travel bag by Raf Simons for Jil Sander—no doubt hunormous enough to be seen from space—eclipses the conversation. It's roomier than some Manhattan apartments.
Lowdown: Made of copper leather with a grid design; closed using a zipper; comes with a shoulder strap.
Price: $5190
At: Jil Sander boutiques in New York (11 E. 57th Street, 212-838-6100) and Chicago (48 E. Oak Street, 312-335-0006).

What do nylon, wood, polypropylene and silk have in common? They're among the eclectic materials found in these architectural sling-back wedges from Marni designer Consuelo Castiglione, who's taken the current techno trend to towering new heights. In its plastic-fantastic frenzy, seems Milan isn't going green just yet.
Price: $627
At: Marni boutiques in New York (161 Mercer Street, 212-343-3912) and Los Angeles (8460 Melrose Place, 323- 782-1101).

Already fashion's martyr, Alexander McQueen based his fall collection on his discovery of a relative who was hanged in Salem for being a witch. This studded leather bag, named 1692 (as in the year), commemorates the injustice suffered. Talk about an accessory to a crime.
Lowdown: Available in burgundy (seen here), bone or tan leather with gold studs, or in black patent leather with silver studs.
Price: $2380
At: Alexander McQueen boutiques in NYC (417 W. 14th St., 212-645-1797) and London (4-5 Old Bond St., +44 20 73550088).

Forget jazz hands. It's all about jazz feet for Dries Van Noten, who said he was inspired by ragtime musicians—as well as the gilded paintings of Egon Schiele from the early 20th century—to create these gold lace-up oxfords. We're not big jazz heads, but we know an instant classic when we see one.
Lowdown: Also available in silver—but trust us, you really want gold.
Price: $525
At: Jeffrey New York, 449 W. 14th Street, 212-206-3928.

Don't bear the weight of the world on your shoulders. Wear it on your wrist instead with this surprisingly lightweight, disco-worthy Globe Bangle from Matthew Williamson, who, as the creative director of Pucci, surely knows a thing or two about flash and splash, swirls and twirls.
Lowdown: Designed by Williamson, but produced by Scott Wilson, the custom-made sequined bracelet is available by email or calling + 44 0 207 813 2660.
Price: Upon request

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. |
