From Furry Helmets to Globe Handbags, Let’s Take a Closer Look at All the Fall 2013 Chanel Accessories

A Chanel runway show is a feast for the eyes. Luckily, in this world of immediate online imagery, we can pull details out that we otherwise would have missed–possibly because we were too busy staring at that huge globe the whole time.

While Karl Lagerfeld didn’t send anything quite as dramatic as that hula hoop bag from spring 2013 down this morning’s runway, there were still plenty of items worth discussion–and worth a million street style snaps, we’re sure.

Presenting Fashionista’s First-Ever Fashion Oscars: The Industry’s Big Winners

by

We couldn’t wait a whole year to get re-excited about the Academy Awards! (Honestly, how did we make it last time?) So we had an idea.

“Lo!” we thought (in so many words), “Why not host our own Oscars… for fashion! We’ll save costs by forgoing that whole ‘red carpet’ tomfoolery–who cares about that part anyway! We’ll gather an elite team of the finest online editors in the industry–we won’t disclose their identities, so as to protect their privacy and keep the suspense–and we’ll announce the winners via our fair website! By jove, I think we’ve DONE IT!”

And done it, we did.

Behold, the winners (and almost winners–seriously, Karl, it’s a huge honor that you’re even included in this post) of the first annual Fashionista Fashion Oscars.

Proceed.

Fur-Hawks Hit the Runway at Fendi

by

When I woke up this morning and hit my Twitter feed (sadly, the second thing I do after making coffee), people in Milan were abuzz about Karl Lagerfeld’s fur-heavy fall Fendi show.
