Bow Down To the Dragon Lady

Vivienne Tam's Ready-to-Wear Dragons


First Gucci with the Jeweled Dragon Chain Handbag. Then Prada with a Black Crosshatched Leather Studded Dragon Handbag. Vivienne Tam, Yohji Yamamoto, Ed Hardy, and Kenneth Jay Lane quickly followed suit with dragon-inspired motifs and accessories. Now it would appear that everybody is [finally] finding inspiration in the dragon and not a moment too soon. (I mean, really. Who else but the dragon is more suited to usher in the 2008 Beijing Olympics?)

those pantyhose, and that gaulthier, wow. i guess this means they'll be dragging the asian models out of hiding for photo shoots?

Dragons are so elaborate and fantastical and beautiful, they really lend themselves well to jewelry themes, and they work well in fashion.

The jewelry you show illustrates that point.

I must say I'm working on a fabulous dragon piece, which won't be ready for months! Though I have a dragon Queen Min ring. I also have one of those Gucci dragon purses! I was just thinking of it today.

This Forzieri bag is the replica of Gucci's drogon bag from 4-5 years ago.

Oooouch!! This post is blistering, I love that body suit from La Perla. I have a friend that works there, she tells me they always sell out of the strange items like the metal dragon bra. Who would have thought?!
