One casual remark from mother—“Oh‚ that’s an interesting outfit”—and that
impenetrable‚ executive exterior cascades joylessly to the floor. Mercifully‚ it is
a season of layers. A suggestive coat of armor slipped up the wrist by saucy‚
self-assured skins—this is the stealth and racy side effect of gloves by Nina Peter.
The latest collection mines Gothic architecture and the ornamental work of
artist Chris Ofili to feed an already panting‚ white hot provocation. Python‚
nappa and salmon skin metallic gold‚ silver and pink—the designer has her
way with the materials‚ bringing metal studs and sequins along for kicks in this
forward‚ wickedly cool experiment. A cold snap of air is really no match. For

As one of the most famous women in the world‚ Isabella Rossellini can chose a life
of leisure (looking amazing the entire time) and no one would question it. She is not‚
however‚ a celebrity of average pursuits. Unyieldingly graceful‚ Ms. Rossellini is an activist‚
documentarian and artist with a restlessly artistic soul‚ now translated in an exclusive
handbag collection with the famed house of Bulgari. The surprise in her eponymous
line‚ is not how classic or refined the designs are‚ instead how truly‚ flawlessly they
channel her presence. Eye-catching enamel clasps with twist locks and semi precious
stones of aventurine and amethyst‚ a graphic shot of “kamari” safari pony hair‚ the
smart‚ sculpted silhouette—far from cultish or trendy‚ these are accessories with the
enduring essence of an icon. Special editions. To purchase‚ 800 285 4274 bulgari.com
