Megan Pruitt Winder Mini- Malle E xit Marc Jacobs, enter Nicolas Ghesquière. The former Balenciaga creative director inherited the keys to the French castle Louis Vuitton last fall. We've waited with bated breath for the debut of his first collection for the Parisian powerhouse, Fall 2014. The look has a '60s and '70s vibe — a total triumph. Yet, the showstopper of the collection proves that good things do come in small packages: the Petite Malle, a shrunken-down version of Vuitton's infamous Malle trunk. We've been spinning since we saw it on the runway dangling from the arm of model Freja Beha Erichsen. Luckily, we only had to wait a short seven months to get our hands on this mini- Malle. It's available in classic monogram canvas or damier, as well as epi leather in red, orange, white, black, rose and gold, with gold, black and silver metallic options adorning a hinge with trunk-like clasps. $5,250 to 5,500, at Louis Vuitton. Megan Pruitt Winder A merican jeweler David Yurman has a way of romanticizing the past — think of his signature cable bracelet dubbed Renaissance. Yurman celebrates the architecture of the time yet again with the Venetian Quatrefoil collection. The quatrefoil ("four leaves" in Latin) is a motif found in classical architecture and a central element in Venice's stonework, as seen in the façade of the Doge's Palace. Must-haves include the sizeable cuff with countless diamonds and the collectable stack rings. A first for the jeweler, Yurman creates the complete collection in both 18K rose and yellow gold, chock-full of bracelets, rings, necklaces and earrings. $875 to $39,000, launching exclusively at Neiman Marcus.

Indeed, this publication gave her a Design Award in 2013, and Domino named her a Top 10 Designer.
