Since Alexander McQueen’s death last year, the fashion world has become semi-obsessed with his glam punk aesthetic. As a lover of cutting edge design, I’m thrilled, and it’s great to see high brow meeting low brow in such a fabulous mish-mash. This New Box Knuckle Duster is a great example of how great the combo can be.
The all-gold look of this bag is really fascinating. On a more traditional design, using all gold might be risky, but on something a little odd like this, the choice seems restrained. Actually, this color scheme is what I think keeps the New Box in the the wearable category. It creates stylistic coherence, and gives a very ornate bag consistency.
The shape of the New Box is nice and simple, a perfectly rounded off rectangle. Anything else would be too much to compete with the elaborate handle, which is truly extraordinary. The skull and lotus blossom knuckle duster design undulates across the bag in a sexy, edgy way. Can’t you just imagine topping off a fabulous black column gown with this baby? Way to make a statement.
As usual, McQueen doesn’t come cheap. $1,760 seems like a lot to pay for anything in this economy, so you’re going to have to justify it by thinking of it as a collector’s piece by a dead artist.
