Come nightfall, the dress isn’t the only way to dazzle. One’s evening bag often makes just as much of a statement as one’s clothing.
Especially this fall. The autumn’s crop of bag are equal parts functional objects and objets d’art. For instance, Alexander McQueen showed a white leather version decorated with a fairy-tale scene of a unicorn under a shooting star. Oscar de la Renta offered a hot-pink satin number, heavily embellished with jet beading. At home or in hand, either would be a conversation item.
