Boys Can Have Fun With Chanel Too!

Chanel 2.55 bags have always been a coveted collectible for every fashion forward girl since decades. So why let the girls have all the fun when boys can now join in too?!?

Take Pelayo Diaz, a very cute spanish blogger, shot to even more fame with his self made 'safety pin' t-shirt (Rihanna later asked him to design an outfit for her music video, Hard) after The Sartorialist and Facehunter both featured him on their blogs. And he wrote:

"When I moved to London I started buying every single fashion magazine in order to educate myself a little. That's when I realised, who cares about women's wear or men's. At the end of the days is just cloth with a label at the back. So I've been dying for a Black Chanel tweeded jacket since I saw a rock n' roll star wearing one for a photo shoot for Wonderland Magazine. It look so careless and... chic? At the time i had to be happy getting just a chunky bracelet with a coin hanging. It's all about buying things that truly inspires you, that would make you do things. And that's why creative people like Lily Allen are getting campaigns at Chanel, cause they really enjoy it, and they inspire other people. So if you like it, get it. Fashion is never been about utility (as exception, Grabielle's way of thinking, of course). An accessory like the 2.55 is not just a bag, it's a piece of iconography, used to express individual identity and, in this case, being green tweed, the perfect pillow for the flight to New York Fashion Week in a couple of weeks."

Well, he did just that, got himself a cool Chanel Easy Tweed (Quilted Tweed Pouch with Mademoiselle Turnlock and leather strap)! Who says guys cannot wear Chanel bags?!?!:-) I totally agree with Pelayo. And I love the Chanel on him. I want the bag too! (Mervyn... you getting this one?!?!)

His blog is fun and a good read. He is one cool guy to watch out for his quirky and unabashed take on fashion which is inspiring. Not to mention he is eye candy to look at! No wonder Dean and Dan of DSquared2 adores him:-P
