Back in May when we saw that the theme for the Met Gala, fashion’s smartest party, was “Punk: Chaos to Couture,” we knew this would translate to fall and winter fashion lines that embraced an edgy forwardness. Expect to see a plethora of spikes and liquid shiny patent leather incorporated into the new accessories. This Valentino Punkouture studded patent tote bag ($2,375) is a perfect example of the season’s hottest trend. Provocative in stud-trimmed patent leather, the Valentino Punkouture tote blurs boundaries between high fashion and rebellious style to embrace a resurgent aesthetic that will have everyone talking. Who says nice girls can’t be a little naughty?
