All too often, the jewelry that we see at fashion shows makes it only to the end of the runway and back. Thankfully coach bags, the owl pin designed by Alexis Bittar for Jason Wu — the one that adorned Wu’s fall peacoats and blazers — is very much real and ours for the buying, arriving in stores on Friday. Fans will recognize the owl, a k a Miss Wu, the designer’s muse and logo (“perhaps because of too many late nights sketching,” Wu says), and also appreciate Bittar’s gutsy take on it. Inspired by the photographer Robert Polidori’s book on the restoration of Versailles, “Parcours Museologique Reviste” (Steidl), the two fell hard for the contrast between grand décor and raw metals. “I love the juxtaposition coach bags,” says Wu, who calls his fall collection Baroque Sportswear. “The piece combines opulence with early ’90s grunge,” Bittar says. “And a sense of raw romanticism,” Wu adds. “A perfect complement to the clothes.”
