New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter2014 shows have come to a close. While we're gearing up for London, the clutches from the runway are what caught my attention. Novelty and 'messaging' seem to be the 'it' thing now.  Messaging started with your outfit (we've all seen some kinds of 'text' on t-shirts or sweaters...) and now they've moved on to clutches! True what they say -- 'say it with a clutch!' Did this novelty trend start with Chanel perfume bag which we saw first back last May for the Cruise'13/'14 collection? Even Leandra Medine was sporting her Paris Olympia Le Tan clutch outside the nyfw show -- the same one she wore last February. Maybe, it's not that new after all? But, I think I'll like to write something on my bags now!
