TIME TO

GET INTO

THE GROOVE

Oh, so you’ve spent all year

trying to avoid diary-dated

catch-ups, brunches and

birthday drinks? Us too.

But we’re sensing a shift.

This season heralds the

return of going out, dressing

up and getting down – the

likes we haven’t seen since

the ’80s. They’re sensing it

at Louis Vuitton, too, with

models at the resort 2017

show holding party-ready,

music-playing boombox bags.

Because if sequins, ruffles

and sparkles don’t get

you in the mood, a verse of

Beyoncé’s “Crazy In Love”

blaring from a luxe metallic

speaker bag definitely will.
