Chanel Shopping Center




Look closer: It's not a Costco, it's. all. Chanel. Karl Lagerfeld is a very odd and wonderful kind of genius.

Intrigue or obscurity?

By now we have all seen the reverse crystal hoods featured in runway shows by Paris fashion house Maison Martin Margiela, and perhaps, like me, you may have wondered what they signify.  It is clear they are beautiful and interesting.  They certainly catch the eye and capture the imagination.  They also place an emphasis on the clothes and not the models, the body, and not the individual.  So, I ask, is this a western version of a burqa? Maybe.  Maybe I would like to wear one occasionally, however..... because..... Boston is a small town.

Full spectrum

Burberry's 2013 spring debut, at fashion week in Paris, is so graphic and inspiring.  While many designers used illustration to influence their style this season, Burberry offers us the Pantone pallet itself: A trench for every day and every mood.  The coolest image, to me, is the topmost.  I think the combination of clear neon bags and shoes with more the subdued metallics is a good reference on how to mix colors the modern way.
