Cigarette clutch bag anyone?

These are actual clutch bags! I know, I thought they were just fun pop-art paintings at first too, but nope. Look...Screen shot 2014-10-09 at 11.40.56I'm such a magpie when it comes to anything graphic, bold and colourful, and Yazbukey really captures the imagination. You can probably guess from looking at the spring/summer 2015 collection that it's all about Paris, bringing the brand's tongue-in-cheek humour to the chic fashion city.Screen shot 2014-10-09 at 12.31.21Screen shot 2014-10-09 at 11.14.27 Screen shot 2014-10-09 at 11.22.54And, erm, we are told on the Yazbukey site that: 'Yaz (is) an Ottoman princess whose family reigned in Egypt. An interesting fact: one of the family’s ancestors, Mehmet Ali Pasha, King of Egypt, gave the Concorde Obelisk to Napoleon…' Just a little insight as to who is producing this amazing stuff!We also learn that Yaz has previously worked at Margiela, Givenchy (McQueen days) and, most relevant to her own label, Jeremy Scott.Screen shot 2014-10-09 at 11.29.49 Screen shot 2014-10-09 at 11.35.43 Screen shot 2014-10-09 at 11.37.23 Screen shot 2014-10-09 at 11.38.17
