one of the newest objects is Chanel's faux fur twined "ice cube minaudiere" bag from the F/W 2010 collection. Fury goes into detail on the collection, the signature Chanel elements found in the bag (namely the CC logo as a closure and the chain, both pieces "plucked" from the Chanel 2.55 handbag) as well as Lagerfeld's tie in of the bag with the collection as a whole.
in true reporter style he dips into a great question, one im sure many fashion critics have asked and will continue to ask of any designer who dares to dream- "Who would wear this?" watch to hear his answer. wink, wink.
:: the newest object in the series is the Martin Margiela's "box". now by saying box, it is exactly that; a tie box-turned-clutch taken from shop stock and lined with napa leather.
Fury's comments on the "box's" aesthetic in regards to Margiela's view on anti-branding ::
"This is a supreme example of designer double-speak - a box as bag, packaging with which to package your own belongings. In essence, they're selling you an empty box, and the wink-wink nudge-nudge irony implicit in that will hopefully be understood by Margiela's astute, intellectual clientele. The humour under Margiela's work - both the man himself, and the team that has proceeded him - is often lost in the intellectual cant thrown around the house. There is certainly a wicked sense of humour in this bag."- excerpt from the article.
:: definitely a series worth mentioning, and checking out. thoughts, lovely readers??
