“Chanel used men’s underwear to make dresses; she had this boyish attitude, in fact it is the very spirit of Chanel. She got it from Boy Capel, the great love of her life, which, incidentally, explains why the new bag is called the Boy Chanel,”   Karl Lagerfeld

Other Option for Leather

Leather is insanely in for fall. From shoes to bags, to outwear and even shorts! Sadly some people are not able to wear this tread because they don’t wear leather. But I have good news! There is an option to wear this trend with OUT wearing leather. When you are looking for a stylish leather look alike, look for PVC materials.  When getting a faux leather or PVC synthetic material option, be careful with the texture to not look to plastic.
