For the last word in dramatic style, there’s no one better than McQueen. Since taking the helm at the fashion house following the tragic death of the designer last year, Sarah Burton has continued to produce pieces worthy of Lee’s legacy – this ‘Squeeze It’ metal-effect clutch a case in point.

This oversize clutch is a true statement piece in shades of silver and bronze, and with distressed-look patches in high-shine patent leather, it offers a cool, convincing look of marbled metal.

And, with a squashed bow shape, it ticks the box for edgy androgynous style which will remain a key trend for AW11.

Spacious enough for your evening essentials and featuring an internal pocket to boot, make this bag your best friend for Saturday night by wearing with flirty black frills – the sharp edges will toughen up soft feminine shapes perfectly.
