Givenchy 1956, Givenchy 2008

Despite popular proclamations that the "it" bag is dead, I still find myself searching for the perfect hand bag every Fall and Spring. This year is no different. My journey lead me to Barney's, where I laid eyes on a gorgeous Fall bags from Givenchy. The Nightingale bag looks perfect in any color or size. Red patent leather may not be for everyone, but my sources tell me this is the most popular color.
Vintage Givenchy. I am obsessed with the 1950's-60s fashion and design, and in preparation for the season two premier of Mad Men, I spent last weekend re-watching season one. After watching all the episodes, I began to scour the internet for fashion images and became inspired when I found this ad. The style, fashion, and iconography are so interesting.
