She's So Bonnie!

I'm a Bonnie Cashin lover myself and vintage Bonnie Cashin handbags are to die for. Coach is paying homage to Ms Cashin with a new line inspired by the designer. It's more whimsical than the classic bags of her tenure at the company but there are still some cool vintage elements that make it worth a peek.

Especially cool is the Bonnie timeline - a jazzy history of the designer. Very cool!

Video Thursday: Leathuh

Fashion Parade of 1956 in leather! This one goes out to Stella Zotis of Project Runway. ;)

This video showcases exquisite Bonnie Cashin (the original designing woman of 'leathuh'!) designs for Phillip Sims. I *love* that jacket with windowpane lining and dress to match - sublime!
