...cries of frustration from men tired of cramming their pants pockets with gear--keys, Palm pilots, cell phones, iPods--have been heard by the world of fashion. "Manbags," handbags for men by designers like Montblanc, Louis Vuitton, Fendi and Marc Jacobs, are being embraced by some men as not only fashionable but practical.

Having beaten off all comers in 1999 to challenge the Kiwis - only to lose 5-0 - they expected the experience to give them the edge in the elimination rounds, which are collectively known as the Louis Vuitton Cup. But all was not well on dockside. Frustrated by initial losses, syndicate head Patrizio Bertelli, husband of Italian fashion designer Miuccia Prada, fired the yacht's design director, Doug Peterson, and took overall charge of design himself. But to little avail: Prada are lying sixth, making a comeback...
...lists come spring, but the silver mesh bags at Fendi and the silver shoes at Prada most certainly will be. And for those wanting to get in on the craze for surfwear spurred by the U.S. film about women surfers, Blue Crush, the sweet little neoprene skirt by Louis Vuitton may be the way to go.
