Bouclé

Fashion fabric characterized by looped surface. The uneven yarn gives it a knobby effect. From the French term boucler, which means to curl.

Fab Redux: Crop Circle

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 16:00:22 -0800

Crop tops tend to conjure up bad memories: the overexposed midriffs of the '90s, anyone?

Cropped jackets, on the other hand, have all kinds of class and sass about them. Especially when they come in Chanel-worthy boucle, like this 60s double-breasted version. It's boxy enough to look great over a slim-fitting dress or some hot, high-waisted jeans. Either way, it steers clear of tacky territory - something a crop top can't quite brag about.

The current bidding price is at $11.50 and the auction ends on Thursday (tomorrow!), Nov. 15.

At Paris Fashion Week on Friday, the classic Chanel suit surfaced in many forms as interpreted by veteran designer Karl Lagerfeld, including a pink-and-black boucle baby-doll dress with a cropped blazer and an elegant beige version paired with black sequined hot pants. Fashion Week power couple Katie and Posh turned out to see the label's Spring 2007 line, which was dominated by black and white with accents of Grecian gold and metallic slate grays.

Many of the styles were decidedly girly, including horizontal-stripe A-line dresses, an adorable bow-front sheath with chain accents, and ruffly bubble skirts. The accessories were also quite notable, including double-C logo'd bling, delicate multi-chain belts, and gorgeous gold clutches. To see the collection, read more
