Last week, the staff of Essence magazine found itself embroiled in a racially charged fracas over its recent appointment of Ellianna Placas, the black publication's first white fashion director. Essence editor-in-chief Angela Burt-Murray went on the record to defend the decision, noting Placas's myriad qualifications and wondering incredulously why readers were so outraged over this, and not, say, a story the mag ran about "sex trafficking of young black girls in urban communities."

Designer Profile & The Perfect Bag: SANG A @ Debut New York Trunk Show 2010

AVAILABLE @ www.debutnewyork.com

POP ARTIST

The quest for IT. The ineffable qualities of must-haveness. The existence of perfect proportions, materials and minute details that, while imperceptible from afar, constitute THE bag every woman must own. Rare indeed. If anyone knows how to seek out and render these characteristics, it would be designer Sang A Im-Prop.

Hailing from South Korea, Sang A embarked on a very early, enduring and highly successful career as a dancer and true pop star. Through the creative channels so oft-associated with performance, Sang A cultivated an identifiable and influential sense of style, and was drawn increasingly to fashion as a profession. On her own volition she took a right turn – no pun intended – and traveled to New York City, enrolling at the Parsons School of Design upon arrival.

For Spring 2006 she launched her namesake collection of exotic skin handbags with catchy names, a carryover from her record deal days. Inspired by downtown New York street attitude, and the exotic skins and construction she researched in the workshops of European luxury houses, SANG A hits a mark that straddles high concept design and visual gratification.

SANG A's colors, materials and shapes have near-addictive, instant appeal. From moody, multidimensional metallic pythons to fantastic, trippy seasnake, croc and mink. The POP is an elongated bucket style with shoulder and handheld straps. MINI POP is an abbreviated, but still roomy version of POP. And this holiday season will undoubtedly see a lot of the FLASH, a signature angled clutch, in crimson metallic fish and stardusted leopard suede.

Trippy Prada motion book!!!!

EGGSHELL CHANEL

Hot on the heels of the drool-worthy Les Khakis de Chanel, which had fashionistas clamoring for militaristic taupes and muddy greens for fall, Chanel will drop Riva–a pretty, delicate eggshell blue that made its debut on the Saint Tropez Resort runway this May.

If you don’t have enough in the bank to jet off to the Riviera for a quick holiday, Riva’s $39 price tag will do the trick. But act fast: the limited-edition lacquer hits Chanel beauty counters, boutiques, and the website on December 1st, and if previous polish frenzies are anything to go by (remember the Jade craze?), it’s going to be a madhouse race to the last bottle. Style tip. . .Pair with anything Dolphin Grey to really gag em. Ow!
