They do a quick Google, stumble upon your discovery, and make the purchase (again, reason irrelevant). Fashion\u2014now with the help of streetstyle photographers and blogs\u2014is your real-life equivalent to a re-tweet.

Together, they&#8217;ve commissioned 10 contemporary artists to custom design Gonzalez&#8217; signature crocodile Leaf Tote bag for Two x Two&#8217;s annual &#8220;AIDS and Art&#8221; benefit and gala auction. It&#8217;s a beautiful cause fronted by equally beautiful works of art; 100% of the proceeds from the evening will be benefiting <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amfar.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">amfAR<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dm-art.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dallas Museum of Art<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But let&#8217;s humor the frivolity for a moment and indulge my bag whore-ish tendencies. First things first: collaborations with artists are the new designers-with-a-capital-D (remember <a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/p6xDPX-1a\" target=\"_blank\">Keith Haring x Nicholas Kirkwood<\/a>?). Perhaps it&#8217;s a biased proclamation given my affinity for <a href=\"http:\/\/kimberlypearl.co\/blog\/category\/art\/\" target=\"_blank\">art<\/a>, but given the anticipation that had surrounded\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.louisvuittonkusama.com\/en_GB\" target=\"_blank\">Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0the upcoming <a href=\"http:\/\/www.narscosmetics.com\/andywarhol\/?gclid=CP709cvRzLICFcHe4AodESgAjQ\" target=\"_blank\">Andy Warhol collection for NARS<\/a>, it&#8217;s not completely off-base.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve been secretly coveting a Nancy Gonzalez since the <a href=\"http:\/\/bagsnob.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bag Snob<\/a> girls have been covering the brand. It&#8217;s almost\u00a0<em>too<\/em> classic for a girl <del><em>my age<\/em><\/del>\u00a0still in school, but for a woman well into her late twenties and early thirties, it&#8217;s a good milestone piece to own. This particular collection, however, is more suited for a younger audience. It&#8217;s the matte white crocodile skin, serving as each of the ten artist&#8217;s canvas (literally), that gives the brand a revival of youth. It&#8217;s edgier than Gonzalez&#8217; venture into bright-colored skins, proving that (yet again), simplicity is king, and that <a href=\"http:\/\/abitcoquettish.wordpress.com\/2011\/09\/03\/no-whites-after-labor-day-says-who\/\" target=\"_blank\">white after Labor Day is <em>always<\/em> acceptable<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ll also be honest and say that the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kawsone.com\/shop\" target=\"_blank\">KAWS<\/a>\u00a0bag was the first and\u00a0<em>only<\/em> of the ten I looked at.
