I will be posting a review on the French February issue of
Vogue but just wanted to point out the latest trend styles by the editor and
street style blogger Emmanuelle Alt herself.
Can you see a little pattern?
Yes, it's the rope belt.
Looking at the photo credits the rope belt has been produced by Hermes, Isabel Marant, and a brand called KLJ.
It's nice but you could just go to your local hardware store.
You could also get some tools to store your shoes a whole new way.
Now you owe me a few drinks after I saved you so much money.
P.s. Doesn't this "sweater" below definitively prove that
Phoebe Philo definitely did all the heavy lifting while
Stella and her were in Chloe?
All photos from the French edition of Vogue
Your commentary is spot on. You always make me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mme. fox
DeleteHello Naomi,
ReplyDeleteYou always have such a sharp fashion eye.
Cannot say that we are entirely roped in with this new look.........but we have always found hardware shops fascinating!
I won't be roped in either hehe!
DeleteRope belts, haha! Very Beverly Hillbillies, did you ever see that show?
ReplyDeleteOh...DaniBP... you took the words right out of my mouth. I was thinking of Jethro and Elly May...and their rope belts. Sometimes fashion is sublime and sometimes it's ridiculous...guess that's where that expression (from the one to the other) comes from.
DeleteP.S. I love Phoebe Philo...always have done.
I know the show but I grew up with k lu one channel and that show didn't make the cut.., will YouTube to see the reference!
DeleteHello Naomi, I do love your round ups. My French Vogue has just arrived but I haven't read it yet. Not sure about the rope belts... did you see the Hermes windows with ships and ropes and portholes etc last year? Thought they were very lovely. Will look forward to the fashion review to come. Xsue
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue but there was so many pics in this issue do trying to edit otherwise it will be too long! X
DeleteThat's really funny, Naomi. I'm feeling a bit of a bathrobe vibe from the latest styles.
ReplyDeleteIt is a bit loose fitting on a lot of the outfits.
DeleteI did a rope belt in 1978. That was enough!
ReplyDeletebetter dig it out again!
DeleteThose shoes remind me of the early 90's and Groove is in the Heart. Just need a pucci print catsuit to go with it!
ReplyDeleteLaughing at the Rope belt. I'm sure the designer ones have been produced by Tibetan monks in very limited editions or something!!
Ha, too funny...And made from organic yaks hair, and knitted by moonlight knowing the Hermes marketing mentality.
DeleteI remember that video! I am surprised Pucci hasn't made its rounds yet - maybe next season Heidi!
Delete@Anon - yes I notice Hermes likes yaks even in its ad campaigns!
And I thought the commonality was, SLEEVES:)!
ReplyDeleteHa!
DeleteHaven't lost my head yet or fallen for the rope belt accessory in your latest French Vogue! Looking forward to your review! Glad there's nothing yet I want to buy. Have been so busy decluttering -I actually don't want to buy anything for awhile! Pammie xx
ReplyDeleteYes after my move last year I have not been indulging in very many things at all!! x
DeleteWell, there you go. I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. Worzel Gummidge, and The Wurzels, as style icons! Unless you're called 'Aunt Sally' stand this one out, eh. Thanks for the heads up Naomi!
ReplyDeleteIf I am wearing one next time I see you just ignore it!
DeleteWe could always use it to set up a guerilla art intallation : )
DeleteRope belts - incredibly fashionable in religious/convent/ monastery circles- have been for years. :D
ReplyDeleteIt's the cycles of fashion - would not look out of place on Henry the 8th!
