Art vs. Fashion #4

This week we had different criteria. We have to incorporate an element from both a modern building, and a historical building into one. Then both must be present on a handbag from the Fall/Winter 2013/2014 collection. 

Anndra Neen, handbag, Fall 2013

Modern building, Piazza Duca D'Aosta

Historic building, Viale Umbria

Architecture is a great way to show structure of design details. In this case this caged silver clutch with flower accents on top is a perfect mixture of both modern and historic. The caged detail mimics the outer-most layer of the modern building. The flower detail on top shows the repetitiveness of the flower detailing on the brass window cage of the historic building. Both design details on the clutch are metal, as well as both architectural details of the modern and historic building. Anndra Neen's entire collection are metal and structured clutches. Each one also has either a floral design on it, or the metal is shaped into a flower petal design. The mixture of old and new elements makes this clutch unique and one of a kind.
