There are fashion pieces that come and go and then there are icons that define a whole era. The Chloé Paddington bag was the moment of the early 2000s, and I still have my original. Now that it has been reissued, I couldn’t resist bringing it back into the spotlight. For this shoot, I paired it with a sharp denim look and set it against the Reflecting Pool in Boston, a place where the city’s energy slows down for just a moment. Boston isn’t the obvious fashion capital, but that’s what makes it interesting: a city built on history, reinventing itself in the present, just like this bag. It’s fashion meeting travel, nostalgia meeting now and I love standing right at that intersection.

My look: Cropped denim jacketicon, high-rise flared jeansicon, and stretch-corded lace bodysuiticon, all by Zimmermann, Frankie 85 snake-effect leather ankle bootsicon by Jimmy Choo, Paddington leather shoulder bagicon, shearling and gold-tone charmicon, logo necklace, Chloé iconic belt, and Carlina round-frame gold-plated sunglassesicon, all by Chloé.

LoL, Sandra
