Cosmopolitan India – August 2019

fast glam

The modern mini phenomenon is going strong this season, and while

it might seem like a 21st-century trend (hello, mobile phone!), its roots

can be traced back to the 1900s—at the time, carrying reticules was

considered a status symbol. Circa now, Karl Lagerfeld sent models down

the SS15 Fendi runway with tiny, embellished purses (with oversized

keychains). However, it was French designer Simon Porte’s ‘Le Chiquito’

bag (AW17) that truly revived the trend. Since then, his creations

have been embraced by the likes of Kim Kardashian West, Rihanna,

and Kendall Jenner. It’s safe to say that you can totally jump on the

bandwagon, and embrace a minimalist lifestyle (the less you carry, the less

you have to worry about) without losing out on major fashion points.
