Chanel: The Boy Bag

Hello My Lovelies;

Karl Lagerfeld is launching a new collection of exquisitely enticing bags for Autumn/Winter 2011, named the Boy Bag. Lagerfeld was inspired by Coco Chanel who used to carry a similar style of bag. 

Lagerfeld commented on the new androgynous design range: 

“Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel.”

The sleek bags come in a range of shades which are subdued yet still give a powerful presence; from intense black, deepest grey, lacklustre red to brilliant ivory. With crisp industrial hardware in silver or bronze, it gives off a very masculine charm, unlike the signature sleek feminine clasp we are so familiar with. It is produced in various styles, from totes, slide handle clutches to large chain-strap shoulder bags. 

Its sheer simplicity and fineness has managed to strike an almost impossible balance between masculine and feminine delicacy,  perfectly embodying the androgynous charm the designer, Coco Chanel was renowned for.

I have a feeling this new collection will reach the iconic status similar to that of the 2.55 very quickly!

Fashion Fool

Hello my Lovelies;

So we all remember this time last year when the fashion blogs were going insane with the "news" that Chanel were to do a collaborative line with American discount retail giant Target. As amusing as that would be, we were not fooled, or were we..

So, lets round up some of this years fashion fools..

FashionweekNYC had a fake tweeting frenzy today, confirming that Lauren Conrad had just been appointed head designer of Christian Dior ! Oh and Tom Ford was to design a capsule collection for H&M - I knew that sounded too good to be true!

LDN Fashion announced that former head designer of Christian Dior; John Galliano would be revamping the George line for U.K supermarket chain Asda for his big comeback with three new capsule collections named, John, Paul and Ringo...! Indeed!

April fools my Fashion Lovelies
