With Fall Fashion issues about to kick into high gear, the time was right to spotlight a selection of the season's hottest handbags for the August 10, 2022 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. I put together a grouping that highlighted a blend of the biggest trends and most coveted pieces, from the Barbiecore craze — reflected in pieces from Givenchy and Jimmy Choo — to styles that rank high in must-have status, like the latest quilted bag, in denim, from Chanel or the newest Book Tote, crafted in a plaid meant to evoke thoughts of Alicia Silverstone's iconic Clueless suit, from Dior. And for the L.A. audience, a Roger Vivier bag in Lakers colors also seemed perfect to include.
