we're Obsessed!

Tomas Maier has a brilliant way of distilling items down to their sleekest, most fabulous forms, while still tweaking them enough to be standouts. Take, for example, this purse from the Fall 2009 runway. The silhouette is spare, but the lilac leather strips flip to reveal gold lizard skin. Gorgeously simple, discreetly luxurious.
