Speaking Style

A lot of new fashion trends in the handbags section saw the light of day – and of the runway – for this Fall season. Fortunately, DKNY is a great fashion one-stop-shop, with most DKNY bags giving not just one but two trends in a single look. What’s not to like about them? Each piece is sophisticated, yet is dressed down enough for an impromptu shopping spree or a night out on the town. Here are some of your best DKNY handbags and satchels to help you get with the new fashion for Fall ’08. 

 

The biker look made a startling entrance onto everyone’s fashion shopping list this season. It wasn’t exactly a runway-born trend, but everyone agrees that it’s very chic for this season. Leather, zippers, belts and studs – everybody’s going heady with the hardware! Bring the biker vogue with you by getting this patent leather shopper with studs ($329, zappos.com). The studs and the sleek look of this particular DKNY handbag add edge to most outfits in the typical closet.

Wild sides are in vogue again as animal designs and prints make the rounds of the fashion trends once more. Crocodile pattern and feather- or fur-lined bags have been flying off the shelves this whole season, this one included. If you’re planning to get one for your own, skip the idea of a dainty DKNY purse and go for the large croc satchel ($395, DKNY.com). Not only does it have the currently popular animal skin texture, but it also has a very structured look – another Fall 2008 trend.

 

If you want to play around more with the current color trend – bright and loud – instead of the textures, grab a medium coated logo satchel. Like the croc satchel, the logo satchel is very structured. What’s great about it is that it comes in three colors – a bold, almost-Barbie pink; a muted mandarin orange and a safer brown. The orange or the pink would fit right in with the color trend of Fall 2008, which is to get striking patterns or bright colors to break the monotony. If there’s anything that can do that, it’s this bag.
