Chanel, Cheap or Chic?



While anything branded with a designer name can instantly become a chic fashion creation, some items are up for question, think clogs, which are attempting a resurgence. Fake transfer tattoos are most likely reserved for fancy dress occasions, or for 12 year old rebels. Despite tattoo transfer's absence from the fashion world, Chanel has released a line of faux tattoos as part of their Spring 2010 line. Already in high demand, Chanel seem to have taken cheap to chic.

Body art and accessories is not a new concept in fashion, and elaborate make-up and embellishments feature in runway shows and international campaigns. However, how does this translate to the real world? For those obsessed with fashion's elite, branding your body with luxury labels is not unheard of, in fact, some have permanent versions. Really. One voguer commented that she is so consumed by Chanel, she would probably wear the tattoo on her forehead. For those who flirt with the idea of getting a tattoo, perhaps this is the chic solution. Well, it is Chanel. And it is removable. And Lara Bingle wore them.

Oh wait.
