Bah, humbug...Zara...humbug...you can guess my thoughts, Kit...

I bought this Zara tweed jacket, which is gorge.. I belive tweed is so Chanel (duh), and when I wear it it screams chanel chanel chanel

A lot of people ask me if its real, cause I always wear it with this vintage CC broche that I bought for 100 dollars, and it gives the jacket a real look ..but no looking at the tags

If I wore tweed, I'd look like John Major

One of my mother's friends was once cleaning out her closet and was "donating" clothing. I became the proud owner of a lemon yellow short tweed Chanel jacket. It's one of those things that sits in my closet that I take out once in a while to look at and try on and it goes straight back in there. I know HOW to wear it, but no idea where to wear it to.

Great article!
So true ...and from the ones mentioned ...my fave look was Nicole's

i find that style jacket...be it chanel or any other brand...a bit dowdy for me... i'd probably wear one if i was meeting the queen...but that's not very likely to happen anytime soon...

It is terrifying to see what the prospect of getting their hands on a piece of Chanel for less than £100 does to civilised women.

I thought I'd never say this, but I like the jacket that's being advertised for the current season, black, unfinished, and discreet buttons.

I have to say though, I have not seen anyone do tweed better than Junya Watanabe (even though it was a nod to Chanel).

yes definetly, I think ti was genius of him to do it to, its sucha classic fabric with alot fo hsitory and charecter but he did it in asucha mdoern way, wich i really love.

i fully agree...i wish i'd gotten a jkt from that collection but all i have is a blouse...i'd wear the jacket so much more...

the new jkt in the vanessa paradis ad seems to be inspired by junya a bit...no...

Faux-nel: (/FO-nelle/)
n. A suspiciously chic tweed jacket that looks like a Chanel, but on closer inspection is actually made by another, less expensive brand.

@ Fauxnel!!!

I love tweed... but I'm still searching for the perfect one. Chanel or not, I'll find it eventually.

 

[As You Like It]

I like some of the Chanel-style jackets. I do NOT like the ones with the piping around the neck and fronts. I do like the ones that are kind of boxy, but are shaped with princess seaming and have a cropped waistline and a high, notched collar.

I am a large fan of tweed, cut in various styles.

I have always hated Chanel and Chanel-style costume jewelry, however, especially the chain necklaces.

Faust,
I didn't know that you thought so poorly of me

The article is so true
Furthermore I advise you the site of chanel (chanel.com) with the event : Vanessa Paradis for the line CAMBON
