2. MEDICINE BAG

It’s a case of “get what you see now” – Moschino’s been making items available immediately after its seasonal fashion presentations. And for its S/S ’17 show, it’s the pharmaceutical-themed products that make it off the runway, such as this backpack ($1,030). With its large pill print and brand logo, smooth shell, and pockets on the inside and out, it’s a “sick” solution for your urban ills.

4. SCENT AND THE CITY

Miss Sex and the City? Don’t worry – the feminine energy, attitude and spiritedness of the modern metropolitan woman are now captured in Coach Eau de Toilette (30-90ml, $62-$139). Pear, white Alba rose and white cedarwood make up the floral, sensual scent, encased in a bottle that has a double hangtag (in polished metal and pink leather) and a spray cap (which imitates the brand’s signature bag clasp). It’s a fresh way to start the new year. Available at Sephora stores, Sephora.com, Robinsons, Metro, Tangs, and BHG.
