EDITOR’S LETTER OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS The old adage goes, “When one door closes, another opens.” Accessories right now, during the largest economic crisis since the Great Depression, might not seem to be among life’s necessities. But those who live and breathe fashion know better. What’s a better pick-me-up during rough times than a fresh pair of heels or a smart new bag? For some, a new purchase may be the result of brown-bagging it at work and Netflixing instead of running out to the latest premiere. And others may be lucky enough to be able to splurge on the very best. Either way, there’s plenty waiting outside one’s door. This season, we’ve pulled together the best accessories out there in every price range. At the top are fabulous couture shoes by Christian Louboutin, a Harry Winston necklace with more than 245 diamonds and one-of-a-kind Louis Vuitton shoes, featured on this page (left). For those scaling back, there is no shortage of great finds to lend a jolt of style. From Erickson Beamon jewelry at Target to a snappy little Anya Hindmarch clutch or the brightly woven platforms by Report Signature, $195, on this page (right), there is a bounty of shoes, bags and jewelry that give your look a lift without breaking the bank. In this issue, we speak with Becki Newton, Ugly Betty’s Amanda Tanen, the subject of our cover story, “The Cat’s Meow.” Newton wears fashion as easily as any runway model. Her character may just inspire budding fashionistas much in the same way Sarah Jessica Parker did on Sex and the City. In “To the Rescue,” we imagine the world of a modern-day superheroine. The featured pieces teeter somewhere in that rarefied air between outer space and great style. Finally, in “Great Escapes,” we set out on a vicarious round-the-world journey in search of international style. For the best spring 2009 accessories, we’ve opened the door. And it’s just waiting for you. —Roxanne Robinson-Escriout

EXTRAS

HAT PARADE A sea of outlandish hats and headpieces will take over London’s Victoria and Albert museum this spring, when “Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones,” opens on February 24. The exhibition marks something of a homecoming for London milliner Jones, who has trawled the V&A for inspiration since his college days at London’s Central Saint Martins. The show will be mounted in a Michael Howells–designed Baroque garden, which Jones describes as “an Italian garden at night.” It will spotlight hats that run from an Egyptian mask A Stephen of Anubis, the god of the afterlife, which dates from 600 BC, to Jones–designed Balenciaga hats from the Fifties, on loan from Princess Lilian of Anubis headpiece the Swedish royal family, to a Dior arrow cloche that belonged at Dior’s spring 2004 couture to prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn. Current designers including runway show. Philip Treacy and Patricia Underwood, as well as emerging milliners Nasir Mazhar, Albertus Swanepoel and Justin Smith, also will have pieces on display. “Hats denote status and power,” says Jones. “The ultimate symbol of royalty is a crown.” That said, the milliner notes that one of his highlights from the show is a lowly Tudor serf’s knitted hat he found in the V&A archives. “It’s knitted in exactly the same way as some hats I was going to do for Galliano,” he says. The exhibition, which will include many of Jones’ creations for designers including Christian Dior and Comme des Garçons, has in turn influenced Jones’ own creations. His spring collection, Vanda, is inspired by the different themes of the exhibition: Inspiration, Creation, The Salon and The Client. “That’s been weird to do—the originals are so wonderful and I would just copy them exactly,” says Jones. “But there’s always something different in my own collection, be it the technique or

Firms include contemporary vegan line Cri de Coeur ($220 to $340, at Endless.com) from designer Gina Ferraraccio. “I realized how toxic the footwear industry was, and I wanted to do something socially responsible,” she says. Olsenhaus ($185 to $255 at MooShoes, New York, 212.254.6512) uses nonanimal materials as well as recycled and green components and minimal PVC in its women’s and children’s shoes. Crie de Coeur For more budget-minded shoppers, Zoe & Zac (at select Payless stores) incorporates sustainable materials like organic cotton, linen and natural aya centeno; mechante of l ondon shoe, ome ll e shoe and raphae young by george chinsee l aya photo by ta Lyons hemp.

EXTRAS Merchant of venice “I don’t consider myself from anywhere. I’m a man of the world,” says jewelry designer Tom Binns, who hails from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and has found a home in a somewhat different climate in Venice, Calif. “But I enjoy living in Venice. It’s cool, dude.” Occupying an 1,800-square-foot loft on a nondescript stretch of Pacific Avenue in the fabled Los Angeles beach town, Binns’ studio is a minimalist space punctuated by his own bright crystal and metal creations, spread out on artist tables and stacked in boxes against the walls. In the back room, the creative nucleus that he calls “my spot,” Binns designs his newest pieces and often trots up a narrow staircase leading to a loft where he keeps more than 500 archival pieces, which he revisits for inspiration. For breaks, Binns, who also lives in the neighborhood, enjoys hopping on his bicycle for lunch at chic spots like Axe on Abbot Kinney Boulevard and Via Veneto on Main Street, as well as coffee at Groundwork Coffee Co. (with branches on Rose and Westminster Avenues) and tea at Jin Patisserie on Abbot Kinney. Although the trendy street is packed with boutiques, Binns eschews shopping in favor of power walks on the beach and people-watching on the Venice boardwalk, or reading a book picked up from Equator Books. “I get inspired seeing all sorts of people down here: the trendies, the rich people, the surfers… even the skaters who try to run me over,” he says. Up next for Binns is a store in New York and a retrospective this year at Phillips de Pury & Co. in London, accompanied by a book published by Assouline. —Marcy Medina

Copper Tone British shoe designer Thomas Murphy is giving a new shine to an age-old metal: copper. Murphy, who launched his first collection last fall, uses the metal for the heels of his handmade shoes. Copper’s natural oxidation process weathers the shoes and gives them a chameleonlike quality, explains the designer. “They change from virgin pink to oranges, reds, purples, blues and greens,” says Murphy, who has worked with designers Ann-Sofie Back and Robert Cary-Williams before going solo. The collection of nine styles of pumps, handmade in one of London’s few remaining shoe factories, sells at Last in Brighton ($500 to $700, +44.127.377.7141) and lastfootwear.com. —Elisa Anniss

DOUBLE DUTCHESS Pop songstress Fergie has topped the charts by singing about what’s in her heart and, quite often, about what she’s wearing (Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi and Donna Karan are among her favorites). Now the hip-hop bombshell, whose given name is Stacy Ann Ferguson, is fashioning a new tune: her own line of shoes—and she’s making sure her fans can afford them. “I love to make a statement,” she says, “and I love a statement shoe.” The collection includes striking stilettos, glamorous gladiators and sporty sneakers ($89 to $129, at Nordstrom, 888.282.6060). She also launched Fergilicious by Fergie, a lower-priced line for the younger set ($39 to $69). Fergie says she’s quite involved in the design process. “There’s a plaid ankle boot that is based on the Ferguson family tartan,” she says, “and the tiara I often wear is the emblem for Fergilicious.” —Meghan Cass

Frye For All Once the preferred footwear of Civil War soldiers and prairie land owners, Frye shoes—founded in 1863 by British cobbler John A. Frye—more likely are spotted on urban asphalt these days than rolling hills. Chalk that up to the fashion flock’s renewed interest in vintage chic, and also to the company’s design director, Michael Petry, who came aboard in 2007 after stints at Prada and Polo Ralph Lauren. “We’re giving it a luxury feel, but keeping the line denim-friendly,” Petry explains. For spring, Petry retains the bench-crafted finishing—detailed stitching; polished, stacked boot heels—while expanding the collection to include more feminine pieces, including T-strap sandals and peep-toe pumps, in colors ranging from lemon to sky blue to lilac, with Frye’s signature tan and deep brown still very much a part of the line. As Petry says, “These are handcrafted, hand-stained shoes, but they’re modern, too.” —Sarah Haight

EXTRAS In these challenging economic times, it seems astonishing that designers would push already-high prices into the five-figure range. But for spring, several designers are offering limited editions loaded with precious embroidery and gems—and prices to match. “I feel responsible to continue doing things that make one dream,” says Christian Louboutin, who collaborated with Jean- François Lesage India, which was founded by the son of Paris embroiderer François Lesage. The resulting Marie Antoinette shoe, of which only 30 pairs have been produced, is completely embroidered and topped with a miniature porcelain head, with heels available in canary yellow, Prussian blue or puce at 4,490 euros, or about $6,500 at current exchange. Meanwhile, Jean-François Lesage France is working with couture shoe designer Mai Lamore on embroidery for her bespoke creations, which she launched last year. Lamore’s client base can afford the 43,000 euro, or $55,995, price tag that comes with her one-of-a-kind jeweled, gold-heeled creations, but if that’s a budget breaker for others, the Bird’s Nest comes in at a relatively Above: The Marie Antoinette shoe by reasonable 10,500 euros, or $13,671.

BACKPAGE Brad Pitt in Troy, 2004.

Tony Roman History claims the Romans invented the gladiator sandal to better traverse their vast empire on foot. But in typical accessories fashion, what was once a functional wardrobe staple quickly grew into a status symbol among the upper class. Egyptian Pharaohs chose sandals with turned-up toes, while wealthy Greek women adorned theirs with precious stones and jewels. Fast-forward a few thousand years to the Sixties, when chic Jacqueline Kennedy and Ingrid Bergman wore similar jeweled styles to traverse their own empires—the sunny isles of Capri and St. Barth’s. In today’s “more is more” footwear era, the trend continues as starlets combat the Los Angeles terrain, turning up everywhere from movie premieres to Starbucks in sky-high styles by Chanel, Balenciaga and Givenchy. —Caroline Tell
