KOMELY HANDBAG FACTORY
With hairstyle and make-up to match, Jodie Kidd wears a tight –fitting sheath of gossamer-fine yarns and beading that decorates her body like calligraphy.
Seductive and opulent, Julien Macdonald’s work takes the girlishness out of fashion causal handbag. He spins out fiery fantasies like this from his trusty knotting machine.
Karl Lagerfeld, who hired him as fashion bag designer for Chanel in 1996, declared to Vogue, “Julien plays with his machine like Horowitz plays on his Steinway. “While regarded as master of innovation, he pays homage to the traditional craft, making it modern by using fluorescent yarns and luminous mohair (an idea sparked by metallic Nike trainer).
Macdonald graduated from the Royal College of Art in 1996 and designed fashion backpack and the accessories of Alexander McQueen and Koji Tatsuno. He founded his own label in 1997 and in 2001 he succeeded Alexander McQueen as creative director at Givenchy, a post he held until 2004.
