FRESH Off the Runway...Spring 2008

YES, PLEASE...! Chanel's ankle purses are, for lack of a better word, straight up cool. Kudos to Karl for coming up with such an impressionable little invention. It's a stylish alternative--if you rock it right, that it is--to the brand's signature quilted handbags.

I have a feeling young Hollywood hipsters and fashionistas, as well as the non-Hollywood hipster set, are going to get their hands on these as quickly as you can say "monitoring device", which apparently was Lagerfeld's inspiration.



Christian Dior
A certain style channel proclaimed suspenders a "fashion don't"--and I completely disagreed with them, questioning to myself, "Who's writing this stuff?"
I'm glad Galliano disagrees, too. I just love this outfit.


Pretty Dresses at Lanvin
One of my favorite collections of the season, designer Alber Elbaz hit the nail on the head with his gorgeous goddess-worthy dresses--from their brilliant color to their fluid shapes. Bravo!
