Kotur Clutches Spring/Summer 2013

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When starlets need some place glamourous to store their smartphones on the red carpet, they usually turn to <i>Kotur</i>. The luxury handbag label cultivates their own creative garden this Spring, with a stunning range of surreal nature-inspired clutches and minaudieres. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Classic box-cluches are invigorated by zesty neons in coral, citron, cerise and yellow. Florals flourish in a variety of interesting forms like jacquard prints, lace overlays and elaborate three-dimensional floral bouquets. Ethnic patterns are given an earthy feel in multi-hued raffia, feathers, West African </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">wax batik fabric </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">wraps and silk tassels.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Metallics are embossed with leather animal prints, carved in brass, and swirled with sequins. Each of the clutches are clasped with glass, crystal, rock or stone. For a modern touch, there is a transparent perspex minaudiere dotted with gold glitter. Or add a pop of colour with a hot pink perspex Aqua Globe© box clutch.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">These are a few pieces from Kotur's Spring/Summer 2013 clutch bag collection.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-awshihLMEvvg_1SfNIqfNIDdG0aP6eUA7GaSy8-D0BCbcN1sks7-FFxra5HHp0yiYwQvBD4exYlx661E5H3claFCiDXz3H6LMI1_piTljF8S64SCbyhPhj4hzjZkhpBkHTbTcWaT22SG/s1600/kotur1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="514" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-awshihLMEvvg_1SfNIqfNIDdG0aP6eUA7GaSy8-D0BCbcN1sks7-FFxra5HHp0yiYwQvBD4exYlx661E5H3claFCiDXz3H6LMI1_piTljF8S64SCbyhPhj4hzjZkhpBkHTbTcWaT22SG/s640/kotur1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJZD5DstandkQs0nc6Z51qnj6qq3QLIinPuW-AM-sb8pzp8YSoudV9_g4eJjAncohFZaqkyCJJnvhzKBFON3kEKg1Pi4bqD9KYfk7zrPyO9rq8WJqCIRtHkhMGFJRZTAkOz3ouPv_2b64Q/s1600/kotur2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJZD5DstandkQs0nc6Z51qnj6qq3QLIinPuW-AM-sb8pzp8YSoudV9_g4eJjAncohFZaqkyCJJnvhzKBFON3kEKg1Pi4bqD9KYfk7zrPyO9rq8WJqCIRtHkhMGFJRZTAkOz3ouPv_2b64Q/s640/kotur2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt1-sXUhsTekvcSqbTy1jHs4QFKuAyarWQ6MoQnyIoxhxDvrnVa4mMOnlX-vtOV6SNyujnWA8k3s15BXssnXWiKs0H_G2tH1n9EUF7Q407gc2YPrPFc7x_0rx3J-MEtM1jfNvVlgXkMN3z/s1600/kotur3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt1-sXUhsTekvcSqbTy1jHs4QFKuAyarWQ6MoQnyIoxhxDvrnVa4mMOnlX-vtOV6SNyujnWA8k3s15BXssnXWiKs0H_G2tH1n9EUF7Q407gc2YPrPFc7x_0rx3J-MEtM1jfNvVlgXkMN3z/s640/kotur3.jpg" width="622" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhajJrGrxgeHjFU8gKUrwpDp6YArtUbjVdmweFh1iy6g2Dln0xFZRn0uEbIDtTjskiAYlNj0gBsD4OxQ19vwIRDIEEezbDY9XO0EhI7R3fcQpJclp_CJXBfE5O6BOxr7mUl-9q0b0s2Y-bV/s1600/kotur4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhajJrGrxgeHjFU8gKUrwpDp6YArtUbjVdmweFh1iy6g2Dln0xFZRn0uEbIDtTjskiAYlNj0gBsD4OxQ19vwIRDIEEezbDY9XO0EhI7R3fcQpJclp_CJXBfE5O6BOxr7mUl-9q0b0s2Y-bV/s640/kotur4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0QZ-u1CH-_Sf9Hae0rrl-tUUsfSusqnNnT2jfBq7_z8kVn5AjTmIZuxZilzTWQv3BXmF4ZNpiJApyOkr7NYSb2dSzZK3oTa8wQsViv_0gFsJO01PwuaMPTnw_R8hpg-CaDKpuKUVCmlJJ/s1600/kortur5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0QZ-u1CH-_Sf9Hae0rrl-tUUsfSusqnNnT2jfBq7_z8kVn5AjTmIZuxZilzTWQv3BXmF4ZNpiJApyOkr7NYSb2dSzZK3oTa8wQsViv_0gFsJO01PwuaMPTnw_R8hpg-CaDKpuKUVCmlJJ/s640/kortur5.jpg" width="632" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the sequined neons and</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> floral print fluorescents for an electric colour pop to any outfit.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston redefining fashion rules for women over 40

And let's be honest: Gwyneth has one of the best figures of the planet.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thanks to Paltrow and her fellow crop of Hollywood’s leading ladies, the rules of age-appropriate dressing are slowly starting to melt away – and hitting the fifth decade is no longer a reason to hang up form-fitting or itty bitty outfits.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">In the last few weeks alone, we’ve also seen Paltrow flaunt her figure in an uber-short, bright purple sheath dress and neon heels at the opening of Tracy Anderson’s flagship fitness studio in Los Angeles, and Jennifer Aniston, 44, rock black short shorts at the premiere of Lifetime’s “Call Me Crazy: A Five Film.” Then there was 43-year-old Jennifer Lopez turning heads in a leopard mini with black thigh-high boots despite the freezing New York temperatures. And even though she is pregnant, Halle Berry, 46, still donned her signature black satin lace dress (with plenty of cleavage) at the premiere of her new movie “The Call” in Brazil last week.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Several of Hollywood’s leading ladies over the age of 40 have decided to ‘go for it’ in terms of fierce, sexy dressing. What was once thought to be worn by women fifteen to twenty years younger is now being embraced by the likes of Gwyneth and Jennifer,” Zyla continued. “They are impacting and redefining the idea of how all women dress, not just those over 40.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">And famed London designer Jenny Packham, known for red-carpet dressing everyone from Duchess Kate Middleton and Adele to Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angelina Jolie, echoed that age has become insignificant to the style process.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I don’t think about age much. I know women in their fifties who are really confident about dressing, and women in their 20’s afraid to try anything new,” she said. “It’s irrelevant. I had a collection years ago with short miniskirts, and a friend of mine put it on… At first I thought, ‘what are you doing?’ But she just looked so happy. It comes down to how you feel, and that’s absolutely fine.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Zyla, the concept of women and age-appropriate dressing has been rapidly evolving for years.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“One hundred years ago ‘good women’ at a certain age donned clothing that was subdued and somber. It was thought vulgar to try to recapture one’s youth in their clothes and grooming,” he explained. “The radical flapper of the 20’s was the turning point when women abandoned corsets and long skirts, and the ‘fashion is fun’ impulse lives on today.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">TRESemme Celebrity Stylist, John D, pointed out that on the opposite end of the spectrum Hollywood stars are igniting a trend of dressing older than their years – and that’s perfectly acceptable too.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“We see many young women dressing uber-sophisticated,” he said. “Take for example Selena Gomez; I have been working with her for many years. She likes a very sophisticated look, but she has a very grown-up personality.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Anne Hathaway, Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato are also known to routinely take on the grown-up, covered up and conservative red carpet approach too. And while the likes of Paltrow, Aniston and Lopez are proof that middle-aged ladies can look just as svelte and sexy as their decades-younger counterparts, experts caution that age fashion rules aren’t totally extinct.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">“Women need to understand there are ways to looking sexy without having to steal their daughter’s clothes,” added a fashion publicist and StyleSource.me expert. “I don’t recommend them stepping out in a tube top and short shorts, rather focus on choosing pieces that will accentuate their body in a tasteful way.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Pssst… Madonna?
