It was business as usual regarding the ready to wear at William Tempest SS10. Corseted and bustled silk numbers in popping satin, structured and folded jumpsuits in jewel tones and floor sweeping evening numbers in trompe l'oeil black and white graphic print. But what caught my eye in the collection, and what will ultimately, in my opinion, anchor this young darling from drifting down the Henry Holland route of too commercial too soon thanks to the amassing of a Page Six following, is his newly launched accessories range. Alexander Wang, watch yourself. The Coco Tote has been outdone in Tempest's storm of studs. Ok, maybe not to a t, I mean, I would still relish the first opportunity to punch Kristin Cavallari, who hasn't been seen in a single episode of the Hills sans Coco on her bitchy arm, straight in the face and run off with her undeserved prize. But Tempests studded leather wonders have one (or two) up on Wang: still studded, cool and slouchy, young William's bags are big enough to comfortably ship Butters times twenty along with all her accoutrements transatlantic. They are HUGE. I wasn't able to finagle the exact prices, but it will basically amount to something like this: for the price of the Wang bag, you can boogy down to Browns to scoop up the enormous long weekender which absolutely dwarfs the Asian American's pithy little arm bag. Whoever said the "it" bag was dead, know this: there's a storm coming, and it's name is William Tempest does arm candy.
