While looking through the images on Style of the Chanel Autumn ready-to-wear ‘09 looks, I was sort of bored at first by the clothes so I started zeroing in on the accessories. And even then it was like, ehh shoes no big deal, bag inside a plastic container too weird for me, mint green color theme not doing it for me. I started perking up when I saw a leather skirt and then right after that, a leather dress!! A Chanel leather dress, people. Could you ever in your wildest dreams EVER image?? The dresses were followed by tribal catsuits, which, right there the  deal for me was sealed. I give it up to you Karl. Your evil genius has struck once again!

The accessories I mentioned, plus the skirt and a shimmery dress after the jump.

Lily worked the classic Chanel  look for the label’s Autumn 2009 ready-to-wear show in Paris this past week. Young woman looks adorable as usual and I love her eyes (check ‘em out in the far right image), the makeup is minimal but effective. ‘Cause when a female has personality for days like Lily does, it’s better to keep the glop to a minimum lest you cover up all her inner shine.

While looking at images of Fendi’s Autumn 2009 Milan show, I couldn’t help but feel like a douchebag idiot. A while back I had thrown up a backstage shot of a model holding a Fendi bad, which was clearly going to be directional. I was right about that, but complained that the model messed the shot up by allowing the bag to be photographed with the clasp undone. Well duh, as you can see from the bag featured on the left above, the open look was intentional! Personally, this bugs me. Function matters to me and I don’t like anything too askew. Avant garde I am really not. I mean can you imagine trying to walk down the streets of BK with this shite? Half the people you’d pass would be tapping you on the shoulder pointing out your open bag and the other half would be thinking what a dumb broad that chick is and serves her right if she gets all her shit jacked!

One more Fendi bag after the flip.

Stopped by the Married to the Mob booth at Magic yesterday. While there were a LOT fewer brands repping compared with my last visit to Magic, Leah McSweeney and her crew were busy writing orders.  No recession at M.O.B.!  I suck ’cause I’m not sure who the person on the far left is, but in the middle is the great Lourdes and natch, boss lady McSweeney to her right. And though I couldn’t get a close up of fall 2009, on the next page theres a shot of the collection, which is another step up in design and offerings.  The sparkle jackets (far left), satin short-sleeved blouses (middle in bright blue) and printed wife beaters (far right) were my faves, but there’s a LOT to choose from.

p.s. All you Tokidoki nuts, I got tons of images and this time I was double-triple-quandroople-promised that I wouldn’t be ask to take them down post-posting!
