Television shows and films are often full of amazing fashion: amazing accessories and unusual purses, hand bags and sunglasses that help to set the tone of the entire film. Sometimes long after the box office has closed and the reviews are in about the acting and directing of a movie or television program, it’s the style that is remembered even more clearly than the characters or plot lines. Though clothes may suit people differently, accessories are an easy way to copy the trends referenced by celebrities in their work on camera, either to reference a vintage style, try a more zany look, or imitate a minimalist approach to fashion.

Here’s Carrie getting robbed – a purple Fendi baguette at the front and center of a plot line for the television show. Carrie wore several different styles and iconic designer handbags, which raised the big question: how could Carrie afford to spend so much on fashion when she was surviving on a writer’s small salary?
The Balenciaga Weekender has been a style loved for years by fashionistas, but they certainly weren’t around back in Any Warhol’s heyday! Though the bag had yet to be invented in the 1960s, the stylists of Factory Girl still chose to keep a chic brown Balenciaga Weekender bag in the hands of Sienna Miller in this fantastic film.
