I started this bag a while ago, but I finally got around to finishing it.
I'm quite happy with it and it actually cost me nothing to make. I got the tote bag from the back of my parents' closet and found the floral fabric at school. The fabric paint used to make the straps white is from school as well, and I made the copper pendant thing at FIT's jewelry making workshop.
So all you need is a tote bag (if there is a logo on it, you can cover it up with scraps of colorful fabric), fabric paint and little patches/charms 'n stuff to pin or sew on.
And lastly, my friend showed me a short movie titled, "Window World" by Karl Lagerfeld. It features models Baptiste Giabiconi, Magdalena Frackowiak, and Barbara Dvorakova as mannequins in a store window. The video's freaky, horror movie music makes you want to look away, but that's probably the point. Also, it's kind of hard to tell the difference between the mannequins and the models. I mean you can definitely distinguish between the plastic figures and the human beings, but it's a lot more difficult than it should be. Oh, models.
This movie is actually probably just an excuse for Karl Lagerfeld to drool over Baptiste.
