As this year careens to an end, what better time to look back on some of this years hottest designer pieces and trends.
Handbags were big news this year, starting with Mansur Gavriel bucket bag. Once desire waned, we saw a new star emerge, as Chloe's Drew took the number one spot. To this day, Drew still holds it's own among a sea of contenders. Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Chanel, Loewe's "puzzle" bag, J W Anderson, Gucci's "Dionysus" flap and more.
While bags were hot property, pieces from Céline and the aforementioned designers saw a lot of "street time." I've recapped some of the most popular.
