Alexander McQueen's New Bag: The Novak

Any handbag connoisseur could rattle off a list of "it" bags like a tween reeling off the names of a boy band: Lariat, Speedy, Roxy, Mombasa, Stella, Birkin. (Sounds more like a multicultural WB girl gang cartoon, actually.) Now Alexander McQueen is ready to add his contribution of the field. He's recently designed the Novak, the centerpiece of a complete handbag range that should hit stores in fall 2005. Inspired by actress Kim Novak (she of Hitchcock's Vertigo fame), the Novak will be available in a range of sizes, colors and materials, and should start at around $1,100 and go up to $13,270, depending on size and material. And what does it look like? It's vaguely "Alien"-like, true to McQueen's aggressive, slightly savage aesthetic (though not as aggro as I would have thought), very structured and sharp - something not unlike what a very elegant lady pirate would carry. And I'm very sure that, come fall, more than one bag-crazed fashion addict will be hunting high and low for it.
