Kate Moss Does Casual Chanel: The Love Affair Continues
I love Kate Moss. Have I said that before? One of the many reasons being that, despite access to covetable clothes seasons ahead of time, she doesn’t care about wearing the latest and greatest. Instead, she shakes up what she has in her closet, even if it’s from past seasons. I have the exact same [...]
Miu Miu Printed Silk-Taffeta Dress: One Dress, Two Personas
The choice is yours: take this dress back where it came from, to Petticoat Junction – or give it a sexy-cute surprise and go full-on Gothic Lolita. A dress like Miu Miu’s latest spring number, in poufy red gingham, might look like a statement, but it’s your call. The beauty of a bold frock is [...]
Killer Shades: Chanel Prestige Cat Eye
It was 60-something degrees here this past Saturday, which for November in New York City is nothing short of insane, but there was no complaining from my end! I got the above Chanel Prestige shades ($550 at Sunglass Hut), a few weeks ago and have been so madly in love with them that I’ve literally [...]
Chanel 2012 Cruise Collection: Cruise Out-of-Control
Chanel’s 2012 Resort show aimed to capture all the refined luxury and old-world decadence of Coco Chanel’s leisure-loving Riviera scene. The result? Excess took over one of the world’s most delightfully excessive hotels, the Hotel du Cap, in Antibes (an area that makes St. Tropez look decidedly rustic). A multitude of looks, spanning the wearable [...]
Chanel Fall 2011: The Rogue is En Vogue
Hot coals smoked and simmered on the Chanel runway, literally and figuratively. A colossal showing of 78 looks maintained the feel of supreme luxury for which Chanel has always been known and combined it with a darker, model-off-duty vibe. An expertly executed play on proportions was key. Pants ranged from skintight (ideal for the long-legged [...]
Epiphanies while fondling a million-dollar coat
by Liza Powel O’Brien American soil lost its virginity this year, when the first-ever stateside showing of Chanel Haute Couture made quiet appearances in New York and Los Angeles. Used to be, viewings of authentic current couture garment samples required a ticket to Paris as price of entry–it seems the house might be hopeful that [...]
Keira Knightley- Swoon Inducing in Chanel
Are you friggin’ kidding me with this, Keira? I lit’rally just feel arse over elbow for you. Also, you just made me turn British. Keira Knightley and her new cropped cut attended the premiere of “Never Let Me Go” in London on October 13th but who gives a flying hoot about her hair or the [...]
Hilary Swank in Chanel Fall 2010 Couture
All afternoon I have been looking for pictures of my 8th Grade Dance dress, which I’m almost positive could’ve been put side by side with Hilary Swank in a “Who Wore It Better?” post. Turns out, we didn’t have digital cameras then, therefore it’s impossible to find. Hilary and her fantastic body walked the red [...]
Rachel Bilson in Chanel and All Saints
I have something to admit to you all. This post will be uber-one-sided. The reason? I have a major girl crush on Rachel Bilson. Not in a creepy-stalker way. More like a I-would-totally-share-her-closet way. Plus, I love seeing fellow short girls rocking fashionable frocks. Rachel attended the Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show October 5th at [...]
Leigh Lezark in Chanel
If anyone knows how to make something look cool and edgy, it’s Leigh Lezark. A regular front row staple at fashion shows, the dj and fashion maven was photographed at the Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 fashion show at Paris Fashion Week on October 5th. Leigh went with a white furry dress from Chanel Fall 2010. The [...]
