LOS ANGELES — Fashion jewelry design is in the midst of a renaissance the likes of which we haven’t seen since the 1980s. And Alexis Bittar blazed the trail. In the last two decades, the New York-based jewelry designer has gone from selling his signature colorful, hand-carved Lucite pieces on the streets of SoHo to bejeweling leading ladies in Hollywood and beyond, including Lady Gaga, First Lady Michelle Obama, Madonna, Cameron Diaz, Meryl Streep and Rihanna.

The saree also happens to be India’s national dress so we all must endeavour to wear it with pride, chutzpah and grace. The best thing about a saree is that it can be worn by women of different shapes, sizes and complexions. You do not have to starve yourself thin to fit into one. Here are some style and design tips to wear sarees that look good on everybody.

Designers go a little crazy sometimes creating handbags with outrageous features or price tags, all in the name of style, exclusivity, and pushing the boundaries of fashion. From clutches covered in diamonds to exotic skins dipped in 24-karat gold and even purses meant to look like garbage bags, we’ve seen it all. Although it’s hard to imagine actually carrying some of these handbags (for example what shoes to wear with a cage clutch that resembles a small metal lobster trap?), it’s easy to appreciate the unique beauty and creativity involved in these little works of art. We’ve compiled 10 of the strangest and most outrageous bags — which are your favorites?
