Chanel connoisseurs eager for a taste of the Eighties and early Nineties should head to Resurrection, the bicoastal boutique hosting a sale of the iconic French fashion house’s vintage accessories.
Logo-laden pendant necklaces and charm bracelets are being sold beside grunge-friendly thick chokers and patent accessories, with prices ranging from $500 for jewelry to $3,200 for an overnight bag.
The sale was prompted by a recent acquisition of Chanel pieces from a private collector who amassed the items over the past two decades, including a patent black bag with gold chain detailing and waist-length pendant necklaces decorated with cobalt-blue beads.
Perusing the Womens Wear Daily website, I found myself excitedly glued to my laptop, as I viewed the new Paul Smith Men's RTW, Spring 2010 sportswear driven collection. And now I cannot help but share what I've found...
According to the WWD website, 'Espadrilles, vintage Hawaiian and Parisian postcard prints and a recurring cloud motif all declared the wearer’s intention to relax. The only suits were made of either pastel colored poplin or shiny, papery fabrics. Meanwhile, the tailored looks that were the most passably businesslike were actually an array of separates. Paul Smith frequently takes inspiration from gentlemen’s sports, but this time the sportswear had the techy fabrics, zips and cinches of contemporary athleticwear. The collection may have been unusually modern for Paul Smith, but it still delivered his colorful and cheerful point of view. And the rollicking finale had Sir Paul and the models boogying down to Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" — a touching and uplifting coda to the week.'
