Novak by McQueen

[beaumonde]

Guccigal -- Lanvin has a praying mantis brooch in a 1920s style. Pin it on your bag? =)

Posi -- I agree, the python looks better in the photo. On the bag I saw, the python looked a bit dry and flaky.

Shopping247 -- The lookbooks come with their "personal shopping" service. I'm sure you can just email them and ask for it!

Brian -- What is fish skin? I saw the bag in a cream colour at Harrods. Looked like python but the scales are too big to be a snake.

Brian -- What is fish skin?

... leather made from the skin of a fish... i'm pretty sure that's what the mcqueen bag is made of... however, the species, i have no idea... looks like parrot fish...

 

[beaumonde]

Cute!!

Yes, I like the Q on the clasp as well, but mine doesn't have one! I contacted NAP, and they said it's common for the 2006 ones to not have the Q on the clasp, but on the feet on the base of the bag.

Have you guys seen this A/W Novak? It is very Davy Crockett...



(Vogue)

 

[Graciella]

Wow, which Vogue is this from? It's great!

 

[spiralsnowman]

GGA-

It's from the new A/W Vogue Collections... they have a part in back that is all shoes and handbags

 

[Graciella]

Is it US or UK vogue? or some special edition? I have all us and uk vogues, but couldn't find it!

 

[spiralsnowman]

^ It's an issue that covers all the A/W runway collections, I believe that it only comes out twice a year (once for Fall/Winter and once for Spring/Summer).

I think it's not carried everywhere, and the places that get it only get like 2-3 copies... I had to haunt my local newsstand to find one

Do you have a Vroman's near you? They carry a lot of magazines, you could give them a try...

 

[Graciella]

Thankx,

but I live in the Netherlands. Newsstands here hardly carry any type of vogue, so I guess I just can't ever buy one (at least not in Amsterdam). Are they available online?

 

[spiralsnowman]

Hmm, I'm sorry dear, I don't think so...

I'm having final exams right now, but afterwards I can try to find one, one of the newsstands I asked hadn't gotten them in yet... *please see tFS guidelines*

Would it be possible for you to post a photo of the cover of this magazine? I'm so intrigued! Have been reading Vogue for 8 years, but haven't heard of this 'til now!

Beaumonde-

Here ya go!

Where can I buy this?!

I subscribe to Vogue but this does not come with the magazine.

 

[beaumonde]

Thanks!

There seem to be some copies on ebay...

 

[ilovepositano]

pucci: any international magazine store should have this....they are definitely not sold out here anywhere. they put them next to all the usual suspects...gap press, moda, etc.

 

[pucci_mama]

Thanks ilovepositano, I will have a look for it.
