Chanel transfer tattoos set to launch
By Amy Lawrenson | Posted: Thu 07 Jan 2010
Who would have thought it? Transfer tattoos are the big trend for the new season.
Transfers and body paint were all over the s/s catwalks; first at Rodarte, closely followed by Jean Paul Gaultier and then at Chanel. Well, once Chanel got in on the act with their clever bangle, bead and floral designs, which were by far the most wearable take on the look, we knew this trend was set to go stellar.
Our only problem? The transfer tattoos out there often consist of hearts containing the word ‘Mum’ and red roses, hardly high fashion. So it was to our relief and excitement that Chanel is launching the transfers in boutiques, concessions and the Selfridges counter from 1 March.
The perfect fashion-beauty hybrid trend, transfers are the new statement jewellery. We predict a ‘Jade’ style queue at Chanel. Make sure you get there early.
Les Trompe L’œil de Chanel, set of 55 individual tattoos, £49 by Chanel
