Last week I was invited to the Lucky Brand Jeans and Parsons School of Designs handbag launch.The celebration was held at the Lucky Flagship store in Manhattan and was complete with shopping, chocolate cupcakes and wine.What more could a girl ask for?
(New York, NY) - November 30th, 2009 –Lucky Brand Jeans announces the winners of its design competition, a partnership with the School of Fashion at Parsons The New School For Design promoting creativity through handbag design. Maine native and current student at Parsons, Jordan Weymouth Richards and Ethiopian- born, Benyam Assefa were chosen because of their expertise in design and their impeccable craftsmanship. Their bags were designed with the utmost creative spirit while keeping in mind the true aesthetic of the brand. The handbags will debut at retail for fall 2009 in Lucky Brand Jeans stores, major department stores and specialty retailers nationwide.
Jordan Weymouth Richards and her winning design. I'm loving her cute polka dot dress and her handbag brings a punch of color to fall's muted palette. Jordan’s handbag was inspired by the naturally occurring patterns, organic and flowing in the deep dark jungles along the banks of Africa’s Congo River. Keep your eyes open for her on the fashion scene as she hopes to start her own clothing line that will have a philanthropic twist.
Benyam Assefa won the judges over with his angled twist to the classic black handbag. His design was inspired by the multi-functional use for the bag. The idea was to create a strong identity merging the image of the 4-leaf clover onto the body of the bag while still making the bag functional and keeping with the Lucky slouchy aesthetic. He would also love to launch his own creative lifestyle brand with a focus on footwear and accessories. With how well put together he was (I was admiring his suit all night) I can just imagine how sleek and fab his accessories and footwear will be.
My look for the night...Express snakeskin leggings with simple black wrap top.
Mmmmm cupcakes... They had some kind of chocolate syrup in the middle that was heaven. And the buttercream icing is beyond words!!
I went with my friend Mina and before you knew it we were shoe shopping!

Now these were my faves. Open toe, cognac color, leather straps..need I say more?? I didn't know Lucky made so many fabulous boots!
