A while ago, Amanda declared the Christian Louboutin Transparent Un Bout Pumps her personal favorite out of the dozens of designer options that emerged when the clear PVC trend first flared up. Today, I’m declaring my own PVC fave – these Chanel Spring 2013 Cap Toe Pumps, as seen here on Emma Watson at Cannes. Though I must say, the similarities between the aforementioned Christian Louboutins and these Chanels are quite striking. Read More…
January Jones struck a perfect balance between “Chaos and Couture” (the chosen theme of the 2013 Met Gala) by wearing dramatic Nicholas Kirkwood Studded Tartan Peep Toe Booties and a black sequined Chanel minidress to the event Monday night. These Nicholas Kirkwoods are actually exclusive to Moda Operandi’s punk boutique, and coincidentally, Moda Operandi was a sponsor of this year’s event. Read More…
I can’t help but be a bit fascinated with Chanel shoes. In footwear, as in everything else, Karl Lagerfeld marches to the beat of his own drummer, and that often means that Chanel’s shoe collection looks both unmistakably Chanel and unlike much of what’s going on in the rest of shoe world. It’s that unique take that results in pieces like the Chanel Camellia Sneakers, for better or for worse. Read More…
This is one of our favorite celeb fashionistas, Jessica Chastain, signing some autographs outside of a theater in NYC and sporting the practically vintage (but not really) Chanel Buckle Pumps from brand’s Fall 2007 collection. These stripped pumps were tough to ID, but we got the job done with a little assistance from Coolspotters.
If you’re curious about Jessica’s bubblegum pink bag, it’s the Ralph Lauren Ricky Bag – you can snag your own at Ralph Lauren for $4250. Read More…
When it comes to shoes, Chanel always fascinates me. The company isn’t known for its seasonal footwear, and generally, that seems to be just fine by them. Chanel ballet flats are legendary, of course, but when it comes to other shoes, the brand tends to choose to make a statement with one bold look per season rather than cater to the stiletto-hungry masses with styles that would sell easily.

With perhaps the exception of the cap-toed ballerina flat, Chanel’s shoes aren’t quite as iconic and sought-after as its handbags, which is why we don’t cover the brand as extensively on TalkShoes as we do on PurseBlog. Every now and then, though, Chanel comes up with a shoe that we like to put up for discussion. In fact, the Chanel Coral Heel Sandal caught our eye so much that we decided to take a brief break from fashion show coverage to post about it. Read More…
Karl Lagerfeld’s mind must be a fascinating place to be. I’m not sure exactly how he comes up with all of the insane things that he does at Chanel, or how he finds the creative energy to make even a pre-collection like Chanel Paris-Byzance seem singular and exceedingly special. But he does it, and when he leaves Chanel eventually, the shoes his successor will have to fill will be gargantuan. Read More…
If you see any end-of-season sales on Doc Martens floating around out there, you might want to go ahead and snatch yourself up a pair; yesterday at the Grand Palais in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld proclaimed that the trend toward punky, clunky leather boots isn’t going anywhere. Although if you’d rather wait until Chanel Fall 2011 hits stores to get a textured pair for the man himself, hey, it’s your money. Read More…
