Interview with handbag designer Rose Beck
Handbag designer Rose Beck creates classic handbags with unique and modern details which are innovative and simply stunning. Rose Beck took some time out of her busy schedule to answer a few questions about her handbag collection and share her creative inspiration.
1) What inspired you to become a designer?
The fascination of colors and materials, shapes, function and combinations
2) The “Fantastico” clutch is amazing! What was your inspiration behind the design?
My inspiration for this style was the opera house in Sydney. It’s strikingly organic and three-dimensional form calls to mind the image of a sailing ship or a cluster of shells. Surrounded by ocean, this masterpiece is a clear symbolof human intelligence.
3) How is designing bags for men different than designing for a woman? Or is there a difference?
For me there is no difference. I love to design for men. I also men love design in addition to function.
4) Is designing a bag for a technical gadget more challenging or easier than designing an everyday handbag?
In regards to designing my cases for iPads and iPhones; for technical gadgets you start with technical thinking, whereas with an everyday handbag the influence comes from many different sources – music, cinema, art, fashion, traveling, architecture,…
5) What inspired you to add texture to your handbags?
I see handbags like an everyday sculpture, so I try to find always new and unusual surfaces.
6) Do you think you might expand into other accessories or apparel someday?
I can imagine designing shoes someday

D&G makes its final walk down the runway for spring 2012 at Milan Fashion Week
Dolce Gabbana sent their last DG collection down the spring/summer 2012 runway during Milan Fashion Week yesterday, leaving tears in the eyes of Fashionistas everywhere. The DG line, which is the bridge line to Dolce Gabbana’s main collection, is a collection filled with fashion-forward, mainly casual attire which offers designer quality and design at moderate price points; $200+. The DG collection has always been loved well by Fashionistas and although still expensive, has been one of the more attainable designer lines.
The spring 2012 collection was bittersweet as models walked the runway in vivid and colorful prints. Dolce Gabbana created an amazing collection for spring 2012 yet the line gave off a wistful vibe as the fashion world knew it would be the last time the bridge line would be sent down the runway. Dolce Gabbana announced at the runway show that they have decided to retire the DG line in order to focus thier efforts on their main designer line. A moment of silence please.
