We’ve been waiting all week to see who would pop up on the street style radar with one of those bonkers Chanel hula hoop bags. Our money was on Anna Dello Russo.
But it’s a good thing we’re not betting people, because while the bag did finally make an appearance, it wasn’t on ADR: It was on the arm of Marie Claire accessories director Kyle Anderson.
Marni at H&M Is Already Being Returned: The folks over at Madison Avenue Spy found a bevy of returned items from the Marni collaboration at their local H&M store. We wonder: with all the money to potentially be made from selling your unwanted Marni at H&M wares on eBay, why bother returning anything at all? {Madison Avenue Spy}
Is Azealia Banks Playing The Chanel Show in Japan? The rapper took to her beloved Twitter account to announce an upcoming gig with the label, apparently playing their Japan fashion show. The tweet has since been deleted, maybe because it was supposed to be a secret? Anyhoo, if you’re headed to the Chanel show in Japan, you might be treated to a live performance from Ms. Banks. {Fashin}
Jimmy Choo Designs ‘Iris’ Shoe: The folks over at Jimmy Choo have designed a woven leather sandal with a five-inch heel named after 90-year-old style icon Iris Apfel. While it must be a great honor to have a shoe named after you, we wonder which 90-year-old woman is still wearing five-inch heels? Wouldn’t flats have been a more appropriate choice? {Telegraph}
When attending a show like BCBG Max Azria, you can expect an onslaught of pseudo-celebs, advertising-friendly editors and of course, a whole lot of color blocking. Yesterday’s 10am show was no exception. And while the crush of photogs angled for a glimpse of front row showgoers including Giada de Laurentiis, Maria Menounos and Erin Wasson, the beauty of the show was in the delicious details:
Ever since we found out Taylor Tomasi Hill was leaving Marie Claire for Moda Operandi, we’ve been wondering who would fill her (designer) shoes over at MC. And now we know: Kyle Anderson, formerly ELLE‘s Senior Accessories Editor, will be taking over as Accessories Director at Marie Claire, starting next week.
“I think after six years of working in the accessories department at ELLE, now is the right time to move on to a position where I can contribute more to the look of a magazine,” Anderson told us in an email. “And for me, working for Nina Garcia again and Marie Claire is the ideal fit.” Nina gave Kyle his start at ELLE six years ago and since then the two have remained close–back in August Kyle told Smart Chic Style: “I owe everything and all of my last six years of experiences at ELLE to [Nina] for taking a chance on me.”
