Kate Moss reveals a series of all-new dream bags.

The stylish supermodel Kate Moss has revealed some extremely exciting news; the A-list celebrity in fact intends to launch a collection of all-new bags for next season. The arm candy is set to go live in January and the model will be collaborating with the high fashion label Longchamp. Kate has been a regular model for the brand for quite some time now and collaborating with the label seemed like a natural step for the model to take.

Longchamps’ CEO is currently Jean Cassegrain and is said to be very excited about such a partnership. Kate has revealed that the new lines are her ‘dream bags’ and that she has designed something that she personally would want to wear. It’s a good job that we all admire her for her style then!

The designs are said to offer both a contemporary but classic appeal and each piece has been created to last, rather than to only be in style for one or two seasons. The model turned designer has recently showcased a few of John Galliano’s creations for London Fashion Week, working alongside Christy Turlington and fellow models Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista. Such moments are a must see for fashion fans everywhere. Kate always looks super stylish; we therefore can’t wait to see what creations she comes up with the Longchamp brand!

Introducing the revamped backbacks and bumbags, a top trend for 2010.

It certainly seemed a fair while ago since Prada’s nylon rucksacks took centre stage on the backs of the urban choice crowd, however it now seems these chic utilitarian creations are about to make a second appearance, especially since the rucksack and bumbag are the perfect tool for today’s hectic lifestyles.

There are an array are styles available from over the top creations in luxurious fabrics to more low-key and hard wearing designs in canvas materials. Marc Jacobs showcased embellished pieces complete with trinkets and fringing details, these details were attached to duffel bags in monogrammed fabrics. Over at Ashish, girls were sporting East Paks created in acid bright colours and ink dyed to keep in with his cyber tribe style. Heikki Salonen revealed an alternative in the shape of a classic leather piece with canvas strap detailing.

If you prefer the more grown-up and sophisticated option, opt for bold buckles in brass and luxurious leather straps, this is the perfect look for the city and still right on trend for the 2010 season. DKNY showcased this grown-up style aptly with hand stitched leather sacs whilst Missoni offered a similar sophisticated style in the shape of slouchy drawstring bags with slashed detailing. Designer Ally Capellino introduced a neutral palette, with designs echoing natural hues and completed with leather binding embellishments.

This season sees another bag style take centre stage in the shape of the old school yet revamped bumbag, innovative and smaller envelope style sizes seemed the most preferred shapes for 2010.
