Trunk Show Impressions

Pics from ldldb (tPF)

These two are my favorites from CHANEL's 2008 new releases. I really love the sport sac with the perforations (top pic). The leather is so luxurious and soft. Really nice. I just don't know if I'm willing to fork $3K for it. Now as for the bottom pic with the cool chain, that's something I have yet to see.

Spring Summer 2008

Just wanted to feature this cute lil' number that's coming out for Spring.

Rehab Bag

I know I'm a bit late about posting this little number but I was fumbling through some fashion maggies yesterday and was astounded to see this "rehab" bag. What I believe is an ode to the infamous Lindsay Lohan, Lagerfeld created this anklet either to start a new trend or a satirical fashion accesory. It mimics the alcoholic monitoring device that DUIs are required to use. Whatever his intentions were, I must say that it got my attention.

Imelda on the Runway

I was flipping through the Spring Summer 2008 Collection at www.CHANEL.com when I happened upon this delightful evening gown.
I couldn't help but think of our former First Lady, the infamous Imelda Marcos. Before she became known for her shoes, Imelda graced the Philippine Isles with her lavish ternos, the emblematic costume of Philippine women. These are long hemmed gowns that have butterfly sleeves as its most distinctive feature and of course, true to the Madame's eccentric taste, they are quite expensive to make. To this day, she can still be seen wearing them. I wonder if she has a CHANEL.
