There are a few categories of clothing and related items that just automatically fall into these small niches the second you see them...and not particularly flattering niches at that. More a signifier of a wearable joke, they include things like: "Mother of the Bride" (a favorite of Michael Kors on project runway), "Bridesmaid", "Boy George", "Flashdance" (OK that last one can be fabulous in small doses), and one of my favorites swiped from the book of the same name Bar Mitzvah Disco...or in this case, Bat Mitzvah.
For those unfamiliar with the gala events that sometimes surround the Jewish rite of passage, picture My Super Sweet 16, only for a 13 year old...and flash it back to the 80's.
From the house of accessory disasters also known as Fendi, comes a bag that would have fit right in with the mylar balloons, and pastel multicolored rainbows and ribbons...seriously, I think I had a dress that matched this bag exactly, it was 1982, and I wore it to a fancy schmancy Bar Mitzvah held at Regine's...
Fast forward to 2008, and it really is yet another example of Fendi missing the mark. Prada and others featured here last month have done multicolored bags in all the colors of the rainbow proving that in the right hands it does work brilliantly.
The only thing the Fendi Multicolored Doctor B Bag does brilliantly, is provide a cheat sheet for future Disney Princesses who can't remember Roy G Biv for their Rainbows and Unicorns exam. You can purchase this little piece of brand new 80's nostalgia for an over the top $1,840 from eLuxury.
