Glam Goth: Lindsey Wixson and Anna Ewers for Chanel

Chanel goes goth lite this autumn—shot in moody black and white, the campaign has models Lindsey Wixson and Anna Ewers sporting mohawks and rather incinerating stares. Lagerfeld has stepped a little left of the softly romantic looks that have underpinned the Chanel woman.

Trousers are elegantly flared, coats either err on the side of steam punk or have a heavy drape, while a black ribbon-like skirt brings shadowy whimsy. Take a walk on the dark side.

Long Life Fashion

Smart types the world over are embracing the very French concept of a capsule wardrobe—a few key, quality pieces that continue to work season after season. Consider these heirloom worthy pieces an investment, ones you can pass down to your fille (daughter) or loved ones.
