When a high-end designer releases a fresh new idea into the fashion world, other designers, whether they’re well known or not, tend to manipulate the original designers idea and make it into their own; that’s if the original idea is influential enough to imitate. For instance, take Marc Jacobs and Takashi Murakami’s creation of Monogramoflauge for the infamous French brand Louis Vuitton. Jean Paul Gaultier is no unsuccessful designer; he is quite popular in the fashion world. Recently, Gaultier took the camo. concept and adapted it onto his latest handbag, meet the Gaultier Camouflage Shoulder Bag.
How do you Bagista’s feel about this handbag? I must say that it really is a one-of-a-kind bag, since I’ve never seen anything like it. Other than that, I definitely dislike every detail of it. There is something about the combination of camouflage and leather fringe that just doesn’t do anything for me, even it’s description sounds freaky enough. Maybe if they had focused more on the camouflage detail and less on the hanging fringes, my opinion towards this bag would have swayed to the positive side. Then again, I am expressing my personal preference. Maybe I’m the only gal who can’t pull this bag off. Whether I stand alone or not, I’m pretty sure some ladies can sport this Gaultier piece, just fine!

WTF is this? First he makes bags that look like piece of clothing — trench coat and boxing gloves come to mind — now this? I can’t imagine anyone wearing this. It’s just so impossible to work with.
