Chanel Has Keira Leather-ly

I was re-editing my posts on leather jackets and decided to re-post this video separately.

It's a 2011 Chanel advertisement for the Coco Mademoiselle perfume starring a mysterious Keira Knightely being dare-devilish on her motorbike, then frolicking with a photographer and finally rides into the sunset. Just watch it, its a visual treat.

A priceless/timeless piece of clothing?

I understand that they're trying to present it as the 'denim jeans' of jackets - versatile.

But, it sounds a lot like taking the denim jeans which was actually the man's staple clothing then redesigned to better suit the woman's frame then sold back to the man again. Except, Coco Chanel wore a very similar one...

Maybe I'm jumping the gun, as I've barely had enough information on this project. Personally, I wouldn't wear one though. Too feminine for my taste. But, it makes an ideal piece of clothing for the woman in my opinion. Business or pleasure.

Criticism aside, this collaboration project to revisit a classic Chanel piece by Karl Lagerfeld & Carine Roitfeld is absolutely classy/stunning with a star studded cast of Anna Wintour, Kanye West, Sarah Jessica Parker, Claudia Shiffer, Yoko Ono, etc. And those are just a few to name. Soon to be compiled into a book and released soon.

Style Is

"Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.” - Coco Chanel

Style isn't just the dressing, its more than that...

I believe one's confidence can have a huge effect on one's style. How comfortable you are in that skin of yours, transmits to your dressing which then transmits to other people's senses. It's that aura that you can't see but can't help but feel. If you have that confidence, you can be wearing a tux in your office/college and people would still give you respect. That doesn't mean it is appropriate to do so (practice prudence) nor am I encouraging it but, instead of getting a 'weirdo' remark you might just pass off with 'trendsetter'. 

I always believe to find your style, you need to find that confidence first. No stylish person is ever self-pitying, most of the time, quite the extreme opposite! And they are also very deliberate with their style. 

Who is stylish in my opinion? 

Johnny Depp.

Whether on or off screen, he's just so... stylishly cool. I remember watching an interview done on Leonardo DiCaprio about his first on-set with Johnny Depp and he said this, "Johnny is really weird, but cool."

Its time to ponder again, "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn."

Hmm, anyone watched the movie 'Coco Before Chanel' yet?
