We're no stranger to novelist-come-photog phenom Phil Oh. When he's not Snappetiting, he's working his day job, Street Peeper, the international style blog where Oh and a hefty Canon 5D profile fashion's finest from Paris to Milan, Amsterdam to Jakarta.
But for Saks Fifth Avenue's latest campaign project, he's narrowed his global focus to New York and has zoomed in even more on our best It bags for spring. Oh's doing what he does best for "New York Lens," picturing a mix of staples and surprises, off the catwalk, and (styled) on the street. Backdropping Phillip Lim's 3.1 hour color-block with Chelsea? Staple. Glittered-out Jimmy Choo clutch (fitting little more than a Metrocard) against Manhattan's ubiquitous exposed-brick? That one's the (Good Best!) surprise. Only downside? Those poor models probably don't know what it's like to get upstaged, but we can't take our eyes of the leather 'n' lovely prize (sorry, we're not sorry).
