Bags: Our Lord & Saviour S/S 11

Style Icons like Kate Lanphear were already carrying the cult-clutches last season, now New York luxury handbag label Our Lord & Saviour returns with its second collection keeping its emphasis on sophisticated classic shapes with subtle touches of its acclaimed controversial Christian iconography.

“Olympus Teneo,” the brands signature clutch, featuring its famed crucifix, is resurrected in a neutral palette of natural, black, and bone. This season the clutch is available in polished black box calfskin and a new exotic skin, a beautifully marked ring lizard. For evening the clutch is also carefully executed in a chainmail silver python, adding a bit of restrained flare, which drew inspiration from the amour of the Crusades.

The last time I was super-excited about a handbag was in 2003 (it was Dior`s Koi Saddle Bag) and I already feared I had lost my ability to be thrilled about something until I recently discovered Our Lord & Saviour`s divine Olympus Teneo clutches.

I`m blown away by the classic, sophisticated design and the depth of the iconography. Jesus sacrificing his life for our salvation was the biggest grace mankind has ever received - this highest of all possible sacrifices embodied in luxurious design and finest materials just knocks me off the hook!



THIS IS MY NEW FAVOURITE BAG E-V-E-R !!!

The Style of Kate Lanphear

The australian Kate Lanphear, current Style Director of US Elle, is one of the coolest Fashion Journalists these days. She is therefore always photographed by Streetstyle Bloggers during Fashion Weeks. Let`s take a close look at the components of her style.





Goth / Punk Look:wearing a Slayer shirt, biker jacket, skinny pants and aviator sunglasses to a Chanel Show - how cool is that!?!





Leather: notice how she carefully only wears one piece of leather per outfit - very good!





Black: all-black outfits.





Black & White: the classic, chic & timeless combination that works always & everywhere.





Platforms & High Heels: Kate is known for her extravagant shoe-choices. Awesome!





Silver jewellery: she wears spikes, rivets & chains, originally hailing from Gothic, Punk or Rocker looks and mixes them. Wearing many of them works but notice how she wears them only at one spot of the body, so chose carefully; either bracelets or necklace / chocker.





Sunglasses: the eternal Must-Have for all Fashionistas. Note how she picked Designer Sunglasses without a visible logo!Picture Sources: 1 2
