The day Alexander McQueen died was a seriously sad day for Fashion, folks. He was a giant, a rule-breaker, and a tastemaker. His vision lives on in his work, and this Atlantis clutch is the perfect example.
I know this bag isn’t going to be for a lot of people, but it isn’t supposed to be. This clutch is for the kind of girl who bases her wardrobe on the aesthetics of the items in it and not for pedestrian notions of practicality and beauty. After all, most of us don’t need a plastic football-shaped clutch, but those that do will never be able to live without it.
The hard plastic has a space age vibe that is hard-edged, despite the curviness of the shape. I love the fact that it has a semi-sporty look about it: it looks like both a bowling ball and a football. But it is clearly not made for throwing or rolling.
The fingerholes that make it look like a bowling ball are actually used for holding the bag, a minor stroke of genius on a rounded-off accessory. Walking into a cocktail party with this baby hanging from your fingertips is sure to get some conversations started. Damn, those are some conversations I’d like to have.
