Ok...I love me some Chanel and Karl Lagerfeld but this just makes me angry, grrrrr! In Chanel's Spring 2008 show in Paris, Lagerfeld chose to add these anklet-pouches to a bevy of models in an array of colors. I can't help but point out their obvious similarity to the frequently talked about monitoring bracelets that graced the ankles of numerous celebs this year. Court ordered to wear, would I ever think this is fashionable? HELLS-TO-THE-NO! I do not, in any way, respect that these three women below HAD to wear these bracelets for reasons of uncontrollable alcohol/drug intake and other reasons. Maybe it's the traditionalist in me, but Karl, come on, be creative in other ways than condoning under-age drinking (a la Lohan) and monitoring bracelets. The rest of Chanel's Collection was captivating and trend-setting beyond belief...but for you Karl, next time, when the idea arises to channel something that stands for breaking the law...I think you should take the higher road and simply..."Just Say No!"
