CHANEL FALL WINTER RUNWAY BAG

Categories：Other Brands

Just when you think Karl Lagerfeld is going to zig, he zags. The legendary creative director has spent half a decade showing his Chanel collections in ever-more-grandiose stage settings in the Grand Palais, ranging from an arctic tundra complete with trucked-in iceberg chunk to a Chanel-themed supermarket filled with branded items that weren't even part of the collection. For Chanel Fall 2016, though, Lagerfeld took the brand to the opposite extreme.

Chanel's simple, pared-down, front-row-only runway show where people simply sat atop couture era-inspired gold chairs and watched more than 90 looks pass in front of them. Like the show itself, the clothes and bags didn't have any over-arching pop cultural theme to guide their aesthetic details; instead, they appeared to be influenced by the creation of clothing in and of itself, with big leather stitches adorning some bags' gussets and plenty of work-intensive tweeds. The collection's novelty minaudiere, which has become an every-show signature for the brand, also pointed in that direction: it took the form of an oversized spool of thread, complete with a Chanel logo charm hanging from its loose end.

Lagerfeld's intent seemed to be to draw attention back to the clothes and accessories themselves and the immaculate craftsmanship that goes into them, and as he usually does, he succeeded.

Imagine if you would, a 30 cm ruler, you know, the type we used in school when we were kids. Actually, it was more like the ones our teachers used. On our knuckles. But this post isn’t about that; it’s about the ruler and Chanel’s smallest bags from their new Fall-Winter 2016 collection, which should be in local stores by now.

If you recall, Karl Lagerfeld had some models coming down the runway with tinyBoy Chanel bags attached to their belts, and given the measurements that I’ve got, you could stack 3 of these bags on each other and they wouldn’t even reach the top of the ruler. Yes, that’s how tiny they are. Measuring just 9.5 cm in height by 15 cm across, they could be (but correct me if I’m wrong) Chanel’s smallest Boy Chanelbags ever made, with a depth of just 7 cm.

And because I’m a huge fan of #smallerthansmall, I say yay since it’s exactly the type of thing I would want in my collection, a tiny clutch for a night out, mostly hand-held though you could also wear it across the shoulder via its metal chainlink sling. Priced at SGD5590 and SGD9160 for the two you see above placed top and bottom respectively, I’m guessing the latter’s price could be due in part to the intense braided tweed detailing that’s happening on the front flap.

For those of you who prefer something a little more classic but still fun, there’s the F/W16 Flap Bag that comes with a double peace sign. Also tiny (17 cm across by 10 cm in height), this stunningly red lambskin leather number will set you back by justSGD4450. Last, but by no means least, one of the novelty bags of the season, a ‘sewing box’ resin minaudière that I covered previously here. I didn’t have its retail price then, but for those who are keen, it is priced at SGD15,860.

We know what you think: ‘Chanel just released the Spring Summer 2016 Collection Act 2 and now we’re talking about the Fall Winter 2016 Runway Bag Collection’.

Oh well, more bags more choices right? Let’s highlight the best…

Chanel Wallet On Chain is stunning, but have you ever considered another small bag with chain? Take a closer look at this black clutch bag with interwoven and pearl chain links – a bag with timeless color featuring the tiny CC logo on the front and sling those pearls on your shoulder… it almost sounds like a fairytale.

We just cannot live without boy bags. Chanel reintroduces the Boy Galuchat Flap Bag for the next season. Here’s one in silver hardware and it comes with ruthenium chain strap. It’s literally to-die-for.

Oh my, can you resist this?

A little talk about the upcoming seasonal bag. Here’s one to consider – painted in white and adorned with quilted pattern on the cover except for the flap. The flap is made in soft and smooth leather. Well, it has everything you need to flaunt.

Dior Taps Julia Nobis for Fall 2016 Ad Campaign

Categories：Other Brands

Trapped amid the non-so-speculative rumors stating that Maria Grazia Chiuri will soon be appointed as Dior’s first-ever female creative director, the French Maison has just tapped Australian model Julia Nobis as the face of its fall 2016 ad campaign. To hit it big even more, Dior’s creative headquarters asked iconic fashion photographer Steven Meisel to capture the campaign’s pictures, as well as the model’s true essence.

Designed by Dior’s in-house studio directors Lucie Meier and Serge Ruffieux (who will also design Dior’s fall couture show, which is scheduled to be showcased on July 4),  and was overall well acclaimed. It did not go too heavy on the patterns (apart from animal and floral prints, this collection could be regarded as low profile indeed), but celebrated elegance, ready-to-wear and modernity as the core of its aesthetics.

It went big, however, on the accessory line, with bags and shoes destined to enter the Fashion Hall of Fame with a blaze, as most of the staples are about to become the main It-items of the upcoming season.

Such modernity, along with the accessories, was at the core of the Dior fall 2016 campaign too, wherein frozen dynamicity figuratively represents the label’s transitional period. Julia Nobis is seen theatrically trapped between dynamic and softer poses, representing all the things a woman usually does throughout the day.

Her athleticism showcases the richness of the collection, exposing side slits, airy flounces, minuscule and intricate embroideries, and elegant details, such as buckles on the handbags.

“Her personality is spontaneously expressed in an unfiltered mix of garments, motifs, and embroideries,” explained Dior in a statement.

Eclectic and spontaneous, Nobis dons remarkable staples, such as a fitted black dress with loads of frills and an elegant high neck figure, an oversized trench coat with cheetah patterns, an asymmetrical short coat dipped into a soft, delicate creamy white color, and some of the collection’s sultriest skirts, the prints of which match the line-up’s incredible array of clutches, handbags and edgy backpacks.

Wearing high heels and au naturel makeup that is light on the eyes and heavy on the lips, confirming once again that Dior will always rise from the ashes like the most fashionable phoenix ever.

As for Nobis, her enigmatic and classy personality can be seen in numerous AW 2016-17 campaigns, such as for Givenchy and Marc Jacobs too.

GIVENCHY FALL 2016 SEASONAL BAG COLLECTION FEATURING NEW GIVENCHY PARIS SHOULDER BAG

Categories：Other Brands

It’s as if two or more bags isn’t enough, Givenchy’s Fall 2016 Seasonal Bag Collection will then catch your attention before you even manage to say No. Let’s talk about these two particular bags that has caught our attention.

First off is this lovely Small Cross Body Bag with ‘Givenchy Paris’ debossed on its fine and smooth black leather. We like the simplicity and exquisiteness of this shoulder bag. Its plain design isn’t washed out entirely because the debossed logo made it a complete standout. That’s what we want in a bag: simple yet has a signature statement.

Another one that is on our list is this Chain Wallet in Smooth Leather with Metal Crosses. Yes, definitely a style stunner, this chain wallet is perfect for those sweet yet swift errands that you have to attend to during the weekends since you need not be stashing a lot of things inside your wallet on chain bag. And oh, this also goes pretty great for that certified punk look especially when you go to metal/rock concerts with your equally cool girlfriends.

GIVENCHY FALL 2016 CLASSIC BAG COLLECTION FEATURING METAL CROSSES NIGHTINGALE BAG

Categories：Other Brands

Well if you haven’t heard it yet, Givenchy’s Fall 2016 Classic Bag Collection is the talk of the buzz in the fashion industry. Yes, this is one thing to look out for, especially to bag lovers out there.

Let’s talk about the Nightingale Bag. This one has been a favorite style staple ever since it’s release in late 2006. Yes, it’s almost a decade old but due to its flare and modernity, it managed to live through its name.

A classic and timeless Givenchy piece, this bag was named after Florence Nightingale. Its versatility due to the two handles and a detachable shoulder strap makes it easier for you to use it either over your shoulder or just wrap it around your hands.

For the Fall 2016 Classic Bag Collection, the Nightingale Bag is seen to be bolder and up-to-date with the added metal crosses adorning it. We are loving this style since you can go from glamour chic to hard punk rakista in less than a second by pairing it with the right clothes and right amount of accessories.

Another bag stunner is the classic Lucrezia Bag. It was introduced to the public three years back, last Spring 2013 to be exact. The Lucrezia dominated the hands of several celebrities such as Charlize Theron, Miranda Kerr and Amanda Seyfried to name a few. Its well-structured style has appealed not only to Hollywood superstars but also to other bag lovers out there.

For the Fall 2016 Collection, we are seeing the Lucrezia bag reinvented. It has this happy-go-lucky vibe with the Givenchy Logo stamped leather. It makes us remember those childhood moments of ours in a good way.
