From quilted bags and costume jewelry to tweed jackets, designers and retailers continue to make Chanel-looking merchandise. The result? 'Chanel' is everywhere—at all prices.
In 1909, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel launched her business and now, more than 100 years later, Chanel is hotter than ever. Every season, the Chanel fashion influences are everywhere. This fall and winter is no exception.
The ubiquitous quilting, chain strap bags, chain belts, chain details on accessories and clothes—so very Chanel. Tweed jackets and gobs of jewelry—big, over-the-top sparkly costume pieces and layered pearl necklaces—very Chanel.

We turn to The Dude--y'know, the impossibly cool namesake character from The Big Lebowski--for advice on all kinds of stuff, from evading kidnappers to making the perfect White Russian.

His signature schleppy look is all over the runways, in stores and on celebs this season (minus the pajama pants, of course).

We're used to seeing them apres ski and in woodsy winter towns, but this season they're officially fashionable.
There was a story in the The New York Times over the weekend that claims that not hitting the shower is all the rage at the moment.
