Jil Sander’s Cannolo Bag

August 17, 2024 | Design & Culture by Ed

Jil Sander is having one of the best bag games out there. From sleek shoulder bags to ultra-chic carryalls, the brand offers a range of delightful classics. Very delightful, as the season’s star is inspired with cannoli – the ultimate Sicilian dessert. During Carnival, the phallic-shaped cannolo becomes the token of desire. Traditionally, men would gift the treats to prospective lovers to show their affections, singing: Ogni cannolu è scettru d’ ogni Re… lu cannolu è la virga di Mosè (“Every cannolo is the sceptre of every king… the cannolo is the penis of Moses” – not very demure!). In case of Jil Sander, the cannolo takes a minimalist turn and looks like the future it-bag.

Here are my favorite Jil Sander bags you can invest in now! Thank me later.

December’s Chic

November 22, 2013August 31, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

As every December, Celine is launching a capsule selection of the most beautiful and chic accessories from Resort 2014. While everything seems to be really cool, Phoebe knows what should land on your Christmas wish-list! Definitely a new model of bag called Tie in cognac colour; the cobalt-blue pony hair sneakers and pumps; lacquered leather birkenstocks; orange python cabas and one of these super cute baby-wallets in pastel colours… In reality, all of these already make the look! Just don’t forget something unconventionallychic- called the red nail polish and this Parisian attitude you ought to have!

Look Du Jour: Winter, I’m Comin’!

Acne Studios Bento Box

August 27, 2013September 22, 2014 | Design & Culture by Ed

This funny piece from AW13 Acne Studios collection is not a kind of a modern house decoration. And it’s not a Japanese snack box. It is a clutch! But what kind of a clutch- it looks like made from marble, has a cool emoji sign or Acne’s Stockholm store address and has a mirrored inside interior! You shall fit there everything and anthing, and it’s a “living” piece of modernism in conceptual fashion! Love it!
