Balenciaga SS 07 Runway | Gold Leggings
$100,000 for leggings? Sad but true. Remember those gleaming bronze and shinny gold metallic robot leggings designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere worn at the Balenciaga S/S 2007 runway? Well the price to get your hands on a pair is $100k, by special order.

Even if I had $100k laying around I doubt I would spend it on leggings, but rather on a black Hermes 30cm bag made of Australian crocodile with diamond-encrusted hardware and the vibrant blue Zac Posen Alexia bag in crocodile.

Victoria Beckham arriving at the restaurant Nobu in London.

We all know that the outfit is equally as important as the handbag, I mean you can’t mix walmart sweats with a Prada handbag (big fashion barf), so listed below and pictured above is the list of designer items needed to complete this Victoria Designer Look. If you want the designer look but don’t want to spend designer prices then check out Frugal-Fashionista!

Chanel Nail Polish – Victoria has been spotted everywhere from casual shopping to special occasion dinner parties with polished black nails, so of course I can’t forget to mention that was the color of choice for this evening. The nail polish pictured above is the Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colore, spot it today at Macy’s

Christian Louboutin Peep Toe Pumps – Every celebrity owns at least one pair of Christian Louboutin pumps. To say one pair is safe, when in fact the number is more like 1-30 pairs. For the occasion Victoria decided on the Louboutin Peep Toe Pumps in black patent with the signature red on the underside sole. I’m pretty sure she is wearing the regular pumps, not the 20mm platforms. The price difference between the two styles is about $180. You can find the Christian Louboutin regular Peep Toe Pumps at Saks for $510, and for a couple extra inches then you will have to spend a couple more dollars, the Platforms are at Net-a-Porter for $690.

Chanel Clutch – From the Fall / Winter 2006 handbag collection it’s the Chanel quilted clutch in lambskin leather. I found one on eBay for $1,350 from an eBay Powerseller, go check it out.

Giambattista Valli Dress – For the occasion Victoria Beckham was dressed up in a Giambattista Valli runway (potato sack looking) dress from the 2007 Spring Ready-to-Wear collection. The picture in the upper right corner is of runway star Lekeliene Stange modeling the dress for the Giambattista Valli fashion show.

Chloe handbag | Spring 2007 Runway
No ‘It Bag’ from Chloe on the spring runway. Nothing to rave about, the bags were pretty simple (slightly boring) which comes as a huge disappointment for all the Chloe fans who had the high hopes that label would have continued their streak of producing covetable accessories. Darn! Can’t wait until Paulo Melim from Marni shows up next season.

The clothes and shoes (ohh the shoes) were nice but nothing from the handbag collection stood out for me, or even caused me to take a second glance – I found myself saying ‘eh’ on almost every photo.

Not even released yet and Lindsay Lohan has been photographed all over Hollywood with the new Chloe bag that made its debut on the spring 2007 runway.

Hermes | Runway Spring 2007
To be honest I don’t know how I feel about the new Hermes Spring 2007 handbag collection. Part of my is in awe for the simple fact that it is a Hermes bag but then the other part of me is saying wtf happened, what was Jean Paul Gaultier thinking – he scrunched up the Hermes Kelly bag and coiled it up with a leather belt! Bag Snob said it best, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”! Although, much thanks to Jean Paul Gaultier for the Hermes Birkin Shoulder Birkin – styled to be worn over the shoulder.

Marc Jacobs | Spring 2007 Handbag Collection
High school memory: Back in the day I took Anatomy (and AP Anatomy). One not so pleasant memory is of a group project were we dissected fetal pigs that had been soaked in formaldehyde. I’m not going to get into detail on the incident but the end result was a trail of speckled formaldehyde landing on the face (and lip). You are probably wondering what this has to do with the Marc Jacobs 2007 Spring Runway, well keep reading. My teacher was a big fan of classical music in fact he played it everyday for the full hour of class. One song in particular that he always played during dissections was Pachelbel’s Canon in D. It’s still my favorite classical song but I can’t help but get the shivers when I hear it. Okay so when I heard that the song Pachelbel’s Canon in D played at the Marc Jacobs Spring Runway Show that memory is what popped in my head.

Dim the lights. Pachelbel’s Canon in D is playing. . . . .

It was a scene at Marc Jacobs: Ashton and Demi attracted such a big crowd that Posh Spice slipped by almost unnoticed. Fifty Cent was there with a date who, it seemed, forgot to wear a top. The kelly green runway was perched atop a river of turquoise bonbons, which Marc Jacobs – so thin and buff when he took his bow you could almost hear the gasp – has clearly not been eating. The show’s very first model got a great big round of applause for stepping out of her uncooperative Lucite slides and carrying them in her hands like it was the newest trend. – Amy Larocca

Ohh ahh very sparkly. This collection takes my breath away.

Metallics aren’t going away anytime soon. Marc Jacobs used plenty of this fabric to cover his bags

Marc Jacobs | Spring 2007 Handbag Collection
Finally the last batch of handbags from the spring showing. Even though I get an awful image in my head when I hear the music played on the runway, when viewing this collection it by far outweighs any disgust that I may have been thinking.

Right now I am chant in my head “where, when, now!”

Luella Bartley | Spring 2007 Runway Handbag Collection
Alright Bagista’s and Bagister’s, we have our first set of designer bags from the spring 2007 Runway, which I have been obsessively waiting for. Sadly though I am not that impressed after viewing Luella’s new collection. Here are a few bags from her collection. Later on today I will post more images in the bag forum, so if you want to view more of this collection and others, feel free to stop in.

I can’t stand the sight of disco balls. The rest of this bag looks okay at other views, however if I had this bag I would have to clip off that disco ball.

Luella Bartley | Spring 2007 Handbag Collection
Luella’s black and white alphabet bags are definitely an eye-catcher but I wouldn’t waste my money on this bag. I have no idea what the retail is, but to me it looks like it belongs in Target (remembering Luella’s Go International at Target Bags).

The floral prints. Ehh I have never been one to decorate my wardrobe for floral prints.

Here are a few snapshots of glam bags from the fall 2006 runway show that I fell in love with.

Frida Giannini did a remarkable job with these gorgeous new Gucci bags for the fall 2006 season. Her designs did slip in some knowingly high-nineties accessories – the metal bags chained to a cuff.
Love it!

Louis Vuitton | Runway Fall 2006
The countdown is on to get on the seasonally anticipated waiting list for the new Louis Vuitton glam bags! No big surprise here when I say that ‘the handbag’ is my favorite accessory. When the pictures came out from the Louis Vuitton Fall 2006 runway show I flipped past the jewelry, belts, and shoes, saving those for last while I daydreamed over the gorgeous new glam bags. Here are a few snapshots of my favorites from the show.

Runway review: Still, what really matters to this house is the bags. This season’s offerings were also a bit transgressive, though playfully so. Some of them came in soft embossed vinyl (a daring departure for a leather-goods house), others in white fur, sprayed with the multicolored blowups of the monogram as famously reinvented by Takahashi Murakami. Still others came in slinky leopard-printed chain mail grafted onto classic LV-stamped leather. The standout: a big patent hand-held tote with a handle formed from a pair of golden headphones. Never mind the clothes, that’s the one they’ll be beating down the Louis Vuitton doors for the minute the first delivery drops. – Sarah Mower
