  • The beautiful and damned

    Angel-Jackson-Union-Jack

    Another post-fash week recap. Angel Jackson. It deserves the emphasis.  Utterly amazing, lah-vley satchels and clutches–and until discussing these handbags with the helpful LFW team, I wasn’t exactly sure a satchel could be sexy. So wrong.  Dead wrong, in fact because Angel Jackson’s “Damned and Dangerously Beautiful” collection out SS 2010 is exceptional.  What I love best about this line is that it takes grown-up fashion (I’m talking snakeskin bags here), and makes it fresh and hot for a younger generation of shoppers.

    Union Jack is a violent clash of violet, fuschia, fluro orange and turquoise.  I wasn’t into the patriotic clutches that flooded shops this summer, but I would absolutely parade the flag on this bag.  The sequin/ studded satchels (they truly are the perfect size bag) epitomize punk rock chic, while the dangling feather & chain ‘discos’  (Angel Jackson’s name, not mine, but loving it nonetheless) are brilliant.  Modern and mad, the Mohawk bags are perfect for work and play, surprisingly.  Everything is studded, coloured and bold, and I would gladly lug around my nightly equipment (read: lip gloss, Oyster card, debit and mobile) in any one of these options.

    Wear these bags with any of the 80s ultra-luxe looks, studded separates and basically, well anything.  Described as bourgeoise Parisian meet British irreverence, these bags are deliciously decadent.  Sure gives Fitzgerald a run for his money.
