If there was one image that summed up all that was good and glorious in fun, young glitz during the 2000s, it would most inarguably be Paris Hilton. Peroxide blonde ‘dos, floaty ra-ra mini skirts and sassy shades were recurring features in her winning recipe for It-girl elegance as the hotel heiress began her journey towards world domination. And firmly latched to her arm? A series of Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami handbags, naturally. Their flirty fabulousness remaining a pinnacle of the era’s most enduring trends.
Then, as is de rigueur when dealing with a true style icon, the in-crowd followed suit, and LA’s fellow fabulous chatelaines of chic were spotted sporting the candy-coloured motifs on their ultra-cute accoutrements. Jessica Simpson wore hers with cropped leather jackets and stonewash denim, Ashley Tisdale paired hers with lacy sundresses and layered bangles, while Nicole Richie added edge with chunky highlights and statement belts. Even in the fictional world of Mean Girls, Lindsay Lohan’s Cady Heron began touting hers when emulating the Queen B-cool of Rachel McAdams’ Regina George. Now that really is fetch.

Back in reality, the collection remained the must-have line for any self-described fashion fan to covet for years. First launched as part of the house’s Spring/Summer ‘03 show – helmed then by Marc Jacobs – campaigns featuring supermodel Eva Herzigová crawling over a coterie of the oh-so mignon designs in a gold satin minidress helped catapult the haute handbags into accessory superstardom. Now, some two decades later, the collaboration – considered to be the first majorly successful fashion-art collaboration in style history – returns, with a new Gen-Z princess at its forefront: Zendaya.
