We at New Faces Models & Talent are all about fashion (as you know!), and we love our Juicy sweats and Seven jeans, but there's a limit to what we're willing to pay to be 'cool'--and I think we just found it!
5. Siger Morrison $85 flip-flops. At $85 US a pair, these rubber, kitten-heel flip-flops are nicer looking than regular flip-flops, but they are also roughly 17 to 20 times the price! Inspired by the fact that people were buying these, instead of the usual $5 pairs, Brazilian jewelers H.Stern teamed up with Havaianas to make a range of luxury flip-flops with a top price of $19,840 (inlaid with diamonds and feathers made out of 18 karat gold, the rest of the flip-flop is rubber with a black sole), and other models priced $3,660 and $2,440.
4. Hèrmes Crocodile Kelly Bag $12,000 to $16,000, and up to $80,000. Named after the glamour princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, this handbag has been the ultimate accessory of fashion editors and old-money wives since its release in the 1930's (although it wasn't named the Kelly bag until two decades later). The story goes that, in the 1950s, Princess Grace Kelly appeared on the cover of Life magazine with Hèrmes bag "petit sac haut a courroies", which meant little bag with straps. She loved Hèrmes handbags so much that she turned them into a status symbol. Consequently, the classic black square purse took on the name "Kelly" bag.
3. Vertu cell phone $4,000 to $20,000. This is one bling-bling cell phone. It features a stainless steel casing and (ooh!) scratchproof face (reportedly a favorite of Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow). It has platinum, ruby and sapphire components and literally turns technology into fashion. No, it can't do anything particularly spectacular--unless you count speed-dialing the exclusive (and expensive) concierge service that comes with the calling plan.
2. Montblanc Palm Pilot stylus $2,000. It is pretty, and diamond-studded, but no one would ever assume the diamonds were real, and I think Palm styluses are on everyone's top five easily-lost-items list.
1. Louis Vuitton $1,600 diaper bag. This was actually tied with the Louis Vuitton dog carry. Need we say more? I mean, really!
