Heidi Klum in New York

Just to give you a little taste of Project Runway, which starts in a little more than two weeks, let’s check out what everyone’s favorite German supermodel/hostess is lugging around Manhattan this summer.

PinWe don’t know why Frau Seal attempted to move the show to L.A. Oh sure, it’s where she lives and all, but whenever she’s in New York, especially in the summer, she demonstrates a pretty great street style. In fact, she tends to look more chic walking down a Manhattan street in July than she does on a red carpet in L.A. Face it, Heidster: you’re a New Yorker, no matter how big your pool is out west.

Anyway, we wanted to highlight the fact that the Kluminator has a new favorite bag, obviously. It’s the “Gia” satchel from Michael Kors pre-fall 2011 collection:

Gotta say, that’s a pretty kickass bag. As big, sturdy, Manhattan purses go, this one’s got some real style to it. Of course, no matter how gay we are, we still don’t carry purses (manbags don’t count), so we’re going to leave the ultimate opining up to the purse-carriers, i.e., you ladies out there.
