The Kooples...reinvented.

Ever pondered over the meaning of the proverb "birds of a feather flock together"?  I hereby give you a fine example that will hopefully help you understand: the highly fabulous and dissectable styles of Shear and Jens. Both matching in colors and stylish nonchalance, our pair successfully displays a neo-dandy hipster elegance made for urban living, from wool blazers to fur coats, studded boots to jewels, aviator sunglasses to fedora hats, and a state of mind hungry for the timeless youth, experienced only during the wee hours of the nightlife. 



On Shear - coat: vintage, shirt: American Apparel, denim shorts: Levis, boots: Steve Madden

Smiling through her aviator shades, Shear awaits her partner in crime. Just look at her: effortless from head to toe. Don't you underestimate mixing the denim, biker chic and animal print trends - she looks glorious.

On Jens - blazer: vintage, shirt: Tommy Hilfiger, jeans: Cheap Monday


Alas, Jens has arrived annnnd...it's a tie (or a red neck scarf really)! Our subjects' versatile style definitely turned heads. I will leave it up to you to decide whether it was more intriguing by day or night...but regardless of the hour, their choice of outfits and demeanor certainly gives a new meaning to the essence of The Kooples.

 

A last and closer look at their trinkets and we have a paradoxal moment: their carefree gaze at the day's passersby is contradicted by carefully handpicked jewelry and accessories to match their clothing. Aren't they just special? They know they are...and they should!

A very Lagerfeldian Halloween!

Lucky boys (and/or girls), this Halloween post is for you!

If you haven’t decided what to wear tonight, Karl Lagerfeld’s persona is a feasible-enough costume.

A little background... 

Karl Lagerfeld

In his 25 years as head designer and creative director of Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld has not only secured the strong legacy and story of Coco Chanel but has also enhanced it by turning the house into one of the most powerful and profitable brands in the world.
Along the way, Lagerfeld has himself become a legend. With his white powdered ponytail, signature black sunglasses, and fingerless black gloves, he is the most recognizable fashion designer in the world. He is also known as the industry's resident Renaissance man. Indeed,

he knows all about change when it comes to the fashion industry. His extensive body of work -- currently for Fendi, Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld -- explores a wide variety of always evolving looks.

And now, a couple of pointers...

 

Shirt: Cheap Monday, Blazer: Zadig & Voltaire, Boots: Marc Jacobs, Leggings: Zara, Bow Tie: Gemma Lister, Gloves: Club Monaco

Just grab yourselves a strong blazer, skinny tie (or in this case velvet bow tie), fingerless gloves, skinny pants, and dark aviator shades.

And if you feel adventurous enough, sport a white wig, tie your new white hair into a ponytail, aaand…

Ta daaaa! I present you the Kaiser, showing off his Diet Coke bottle, faux canvas “Karl Who?” bag and his beloved Ana Wintour!

Happy Halloween style dissectors! xoxo
