Choose A Classic Designer Handbag That Will Never Go Out Of Style

Mar 18, 2010 Classic Rock

A designer handbag is a luxury few women can afford. So, if you plan on spending a large amount of money to buy your very first designer handbag, it’s wise to choose a timeless, classic style that will outlast current trends. Dior handbags, for instance, have elegant styles that can you can use for work and during nights out with your girlfriends or even at dates with your husband. What are the top classic designer handbags of all time? Here’s the list.

Alexander McQueen Novak. Inspired by the Alfred Hitchock thriller Vertigo, the Novak bag (named after actress Kim Novak) is a large, leather satchel that features a very structured, bowler design and comes in a diverse array of colors–from plum to fire engine red. It is also available in ostrich and crocodile skins and retails for about $900. Rock singer Pink has been spotted sporting a black version of this designer handbag.

Balenciaga City Motorcycle. This rebel of a bag first invaded the world in 2001, spotted in the arms of Europe’s A-listers and “It” girls. Balanciaga’s Motorcycle Bag (also known as “Le Dix”) is still very much in demand until now and has been sold in a variety of colors–from black and pink to beige and lemon yellow. It has a slouchy, rectangular shape with a zip pocket in the front and features gold studs and tassels. Its various reincarnations through the years have seen this bag take on more oblong shapes and tamer colors.

Chanel 2.55. This classic handbag is as elegant and iconic as the Dior handbags brand. It named “2.55” because Coco Chanel introduced this dainty flap bag to the world on February, 1955. The quilted texture of this class ic bag was inspired by the coats worn by jockeys. It’s been fifty years since the introduction of the Chanel 2.55 and it’s still one of the best designer handbags in the world.

Chloe Paddington Bag. Created in 2005, this slouchy designer handbag from Chloe sold out before it even hit store shelves. Featuring a slouchy hobo-ish structure and a huge padlock, the Chloe Paddington Bag comes in red and different shades of black and brown. It’s been seen on A-list Hollywood celebrities such as Kate Bosworth and Paris Hilton.

Hermes Birkin. Immortalized by Sex in The City’s Carrie Bradshaw when she attempted to put her name on the top of the waiting list for this classic bag, the Hermes Birkin has been the ultimate designer bag since its introduction in the 1980s. The most beautiful and the most glamourous actresses have been seen with their Birkins–from Katie Holmes to Victoria Beckham.

Louis Vuitton Speedy. The release of the Louis Vuitton Speedy in 2000 caused a mad scramble for this simple, bowler-type bag. Its spacious interior makes it practical and ideal for carrying all your essentials–from a digital camera to scarves and leather journals. This iconic designer handbag has had many reincarnations since 2000–from the pop art of the Murakami edition to sophisticated Epi leather edition.

Spending an exorbitant amount of money on your first designer handbag is no joke. It’s best to pick a timeless, classic design for your first designer bag. A good place to start is by checking out Dior handbags, Louis Vuitton bags or even Hermes bags, which have elegant and sophisticated styles that will never go passe.

You’re Never Too Old To Rock!

Mar 14, 2010 Classic Rock

 

Somehow senior citizens and the Bee Gees don’t seem like related subjects.  Not the case, however, for Massachusetts-based chorus Young@Heart.  In fact, this musical group, whose youngest member was born in 1939, does a pretty mean version of “Stayin’ Alive.” 

Founded in 1982 by director Bob Cilman, Young@Heart began as a way to engage senior citizens at the Walter Salvo house, an elderly housing project in Northampton, Massachusetts.  Nearly thirty years later, the chorus has toured extensively in both Europe and the United States, performing for everyone from royalty to prison inmates.  With a repertoire that includes everything from Radiohead to the Rolling Stones, Young@Heart has a knack for taking standard rock-n-roll hits and re-contextualizing them to create a surprisingly compelling theatre experience.  Songs like the Ramones’ “I Wanna Be Sedated,” the Police’s “Every Breath You Take,” David Bowie’s “Golden Years,” Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here” take on new meaning when performed by a group of rockers with an average age of 78. 

While most of the chorus members prefer classical music or show tunes to these songs, they have come to trust Cilman’s eclectic tastes.  When the group toured Ireland, journalist Belinda McKeon of Irish Times interviewed members Jéan Florio, 85, and Jack Schnepp, 77:

“My kids say, Mom, you’re not doing that song!” said Jéan.  “They say, get out of here, you can’t be doing the Clash. And we say, oh yes we are.” 

Jack chimed in: “In the old days we would have just turned these songs off the radio.  We would have just turned down the noise. Now we know the words. We know there’s always a good beat in them. Now we enjoy them; they’re all good songs.” 

“Well, the only thing I won’t listen to is hip-hop,” added Jéan. “I don’t care for that.”

 ”Or hard rock,” said Jack. 

 ”No, no, some hard rock is pretty good.”

Long-time member Eileen Hall has performed stripteases with the group and both Warren Clark and Ralph Intorcio have donned drag for Young@Heart shows.  The ensemble has collaborated with punk rockers, Latino breakdancers, Cambodian folk artists, and the Pioneer Valley Gay Men’s Chorus, producing several productions over the years, including “Oh No A Condo” in 1988 and “Louis Lou I – A Revolting Musical” in 1991, which used Sinatra tunes to recount the story of the French Revolution.   

In 2007, the group reached a new level of fame when they caught the attention of filmmaker Stephen Walker.  Walker’s acclaimed film, also called Young@Heart, follows chorus members as they prepare to perform new material for sold-out audiences.  Documenting their difficulties at remembering the lyrics to complex songs such as Allen Toussaint’s “Yes We Can Can” as well as simple songs like James Brown’s “I Feel Good,” the film displays the joie de vivre of these hip seniors.  Several beloved members of the group passed away during the making of the film, making the documentary a meditation on mortality as much as a celebration of the sheer power of music.  The film’s finale is, of course, their much-anticipated performance, which includes a hilarious version of the Clash’s “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” as well as 81-year-old Fred Knittle’s heartwrenching version of Coldplay’s “Fix You,” dedicated to a recently-deceased chorus member. 

Film reviewer Greg Saulmon muses: “Someone once told me that growing up isn’t about getting things; it’s about losing them. But while that sense of loss hangs heavy in “Fix You” and “Fake Plastic Trees,” what’s even more unmistakable is how much the singers of Young@Heart have left to give.”  What these singers give us is more than just rousing renditions of overplayed rock anthems.  They show us how to approach aging with humor, grace, honesty, and, above all, joy.
