invest in a classic handbag from Bottega Veneta and you’ll find yourself perennially chic no matter where fashion trends head from season to season. Creative director Tomas maier brought glamour to the label in 2001 when the gucci group bought the company which michele Taddei and renzo zengiaro founded in 1966. But still at the heart of the collection are the three silhouettes that started it all in the ‘60s—the “knot” (top) asserts contemporary flair with scarab and metallic finish; the Cabat (second from top) gets an updated iridescent finish; while the Veneta (bottom) remains a classic in chocolate brown. new for the season: the scarabee iridescent snakeskin crossbody bag (middle) and the scarabee iridescent nappa clutch (second from bottom). www.bottegaveneta.com

Zac Posen on women’s clothes and travel.By shivani Vora | Photography by sven schumann

Dimensional Designer

starlets like natalie Portman, Cameron Diaz and Claire Danes regularly look to zac Posen to dress them for red carpet events, but the designer himself is remarkably understated about his success. “i don’t think i’ve had my big breakthrough yet,” he said during an interview in his Tribeca offices. “I’m constantly working to evolve.” • His own impressions aside, there is no question that the energetic and sharply dressed 30-year-old has fast-tracked in the fashion world. Posen was raised in New York City’s SoHo neighbourhood and was interested in design even as a child, when he would take the yarmulkes from his grandparents’ synagogue to make dresses for dolls. after an internship with designer nicole miller and the pre-college program at Parsons The new school for Design, he received a womenswear degree at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London.

Romancing the Stones

On the CoverPhotography byRobb Aaron Gordon

We were amazed to learn that these dazzling objects are in fact

rings. A love adventure of sorts, these fantastical creations from John Hardy’s Cinta Collection

were designed by the company’s creative director Guy Bedarida

for Hardy’s wife and muse, Cynthia. Fashioned of gold, rare

shell and precious stones from all over the world, each piece is a

unique wonder to behold.
