I told you all how the hard-nosed music folks haven’t really taken to the songstress, but the fashion world, just can’t get enough. She’s already scored an impressive line-up of fashion mag covers and editorials (British Vogue being the ultimate!), a proper modelling contract with NEXT Model Management, a decent 10 page thread on the Fashion Spot ‒ and now, she has a bag, rather a IT bag, named after her. The deets?

The Del Rey, as it’s called, debuted on Mulbery’s A/W’12 runway on Sat, and on the arms of its namesake, who sat front row at the show (obv.!).
