So this is what Valentino Garavani‘s been up to since retiring– tending to his rose garden!?!? Either that or Alessandra Facchinetti was inspired by the floats of the Tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena, Califonia (the Rose Queen can carry this while cruising on her float!). I can’t think of any other reasons for a flower tote made of multi-colored taffeta rosettes with burgundy patent trim(Kelly did an entry on this in black but the multi hued version is so pinata-clownish I could not resist!). Shoulder straps with rings. I can’t even look at this thing for too long because it is actually hypnotizing me. Try staring at it yourself, you’ll find yourself in a hypnotic trance over the swirl upon swirl of hideousness. $1,950 at Neiman Marcus but wait, it is on back order (do ya think it sold out at first shipment?) so you won’t be able to witness its loveliness in person until November. What do you snobbers think? Snob or Slob?
