Fall's favorite fashion adjective—glamorous—is equally applicable to the season's accessories. Of course, the designers each put a different spin on the word. There were overtly sexy looks, ultra-rich classics and even twisted takes on the time-honored preppy. The common thread? A real embrace of luxury, no matter what its milieu.—Michelle Sanders
Red velvet? Amazing...and totally unexpected. Tom Ford thrills us with his daring, ever-changing ideal of sexy. The master of downtown mix-ology pops a dose of glamorous shine into his collection, here via a versatile scarf. For the organized diva, a prim and proper bag with a distinct Sixties feeling. The bag of the season, period. The Asian-inspired handle and slight detailing of the alligator tail makes this particularly chic. Ethnic-inspired accessories are still important for fall, and this bag with its colorful Peruvian feel is the best of the genre.
From one of the few clothing designers truly obsessed with footwear, Narcisco Rodriguez' macramé shoes add a rich hippie twist to his super-sleek clothes. Karl Lagerfeld has injected a shot of motorcycle madness to his uptown lady's wardrobe. Nicolas Ghesquière got together with shoe designer extraordinaire Pierre Hardy and shazam! An outrageously hot shoe for the brave. If you only get one boot this season (although I encourage more than one), get this breathtaking high-shine croc number. Very blue, very classic, very high heeled and basically still a loafer. Only Viktor & Rolf would attempt—and pull off—fashion irony like this. I love it.
