Tila March is the heartwarming story of one fashion editor’s search for the perfect handbag – functional smarts meets everyday chic. After creating a prototype, Tamara Taichman wore her bag at Paris Fashion Week catching the eye of fellow editors thus in 2006 Tila March was born. In collaboration with her boyfriend leather-goods executive Nicolas Berdugo the designing duo branded Tila March as a combination of the partners’ names plus March, the month they met.
Although there are other styles with the signature tab closure, the Zelig canvas tote style remains the most popular. So coveted is the Zelig that Tila March made a transparent limited edition version with Neon Pink leather trimming for Parisian retailer Colette in 2008. Made of canvas with contrast leather trim the Zelig will take you from office to beach and back again. With the press of a hidden button a clever gusset expands to give you more carrying space. We love the classic simplicity and resort inspired colors, lovely. Also exciting is the shoe collection – think classic Parisian style defined by clean lines with clever cut out straps and butterfly bow details. Pair the Tila March bag with a pair of Charlotte Ronson strappy wedge sandals and oversized shades from Tom Ford and you’re all set for sunny days ahead.

Suit jackets have never looked better, thanks to one of our most favorite Brit designers, Stella McCartney. For her spring ’09 collection, McCartney transformed the mundane office staple into a chic, lanquid, and sexy addition to a myriad of different looks. We saw it take the form of McCartney’s signature jumpsuit, a bathing suit, and layered over a cocktail dress. She spiced up the tone of the collection by pairing sheer blazers with even more see-through glitteryjumpsuits and leotards underneath. Although the jacket was undoubtedly the star of the show, McCartney expressed her dimension and versatility as a designer with provocative black bondage and chandelier-like frocks. Had we been there, we would have given Ms.McCartney a standing ovation alongside show crasher Sacha Baron Cohen’s alter ego, Bruno.

Apparently, an infinite amount, as Karl Largerfeld has once again made the staples of the maintain their covetable classification. New shapes, details, and accessories are the way to add excitement to the storied house, and Karl and his team didn’t hold back one bit this season. From boudoir-like shoes decked out with feathers to new shape and chain positioning for the quilted signature bags, there’s plenty here to set Chanel-lover’s hearts ablaze. The suits received the festoon treatment, with oversized ties, bows, and detailing that you know came from King Karl himself — heavy chainlinks! And last, this review wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the jewelry; it managed to accomplish both vintage and futuristic elements that worked with tweed suits, trenches, long, loose cardigans, and prim blouses.
