You Can Buy The Latest Supermodel Approved It-Bag on Amazon (VOGUE)

VOG622
Every season, designers unveil a new wave of luxury purses to be worn on the arm of tastemakers, leaving stars spoiled for choice. So when they decide to eschew the familiar big names in favor of an under-the-radar option, it’s worth noting—especially if it’s affordable, too. Yesterday, when Emily Ratajkowski stepped out in Manhattan, the modeling star’s striking accessories almost overshadowed her viral denim bra. Dressed in her offbeat take on the Canadian tuxedo, Ratajkowski complimented her Prada double denim with a golden shoulder bag from Los Angeles label JW Pei. The Gabbi miniature hobo features a distinctive ruched handled and vegan leather, but its biggest selling point may be the price—currently available for $70, it’s an on-trend steal.

vm6182
With the country of Greece as its muse, the Dior Cruise 2022 show took place at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens on Thursday. Models took the runway - the track around the historic stadium - in ethereal, Greek inspired pieces. The iconic stadium was illuminated only by the orange glow of fires lined up in the center of the stadium, reminiscent of the Olympic flame. Strobe lights flashed on, illuminating the scene in a heavenly white glow. Then, the sounds of the string orchestra and echoing voices filled up the nearly empty venue, as models began their single-filed walk around the track. The Greek Goddess themed looks included toga-inspired dresses, gold accents and neutral colors. Modernized, however, by gold accented running shoes. Images...
