And Then The Luxury Market Stopped Making Sense

HUHKanye knows that this insane thing actually happened. ALSO in skis. (On the other hand? The Chanel city bike? Yes please.)

You forgot to highlight the MINI-SKIS. It's the wintersports equivalent of a Chanel razor scooter. I'm looking forward to seeing the Russian courtisanes in Megève going gently downhill wearing those.

FUCK ME they actually HAVE a scooter. Words fail me.

Not even the Roger Moore era James Bond would be caught with Chanel skis.

It's a little-known industry fact that Timothy Dalton actually walked off the series because they *wouldn't* give him Chanel skis.

That bike screams 'hit me'. You're going to want the helmet with that one.

YOU SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET.

You should always wear a helmet... if you believe in junk science.
More cyclists with no helmets means safer cycling. Don't buy into the culture of fear.

Where's the rest of him? Did he ski through the polar bear prison?

Is that a traveling case full of smoke-tinted Chanel hamster balls?

Dammit, missed it by 1 minute! Well played.

Holy shit, that bike.
Meanwhile, this morning I realized that my bike - which is nothing like the Chanel bike except that it is also black and has fenders - has a rusted out hand break because my back porch is not adequate shelter from winter storms, apparently.

Broken hand breaks can be fixed with duck tape.

Ah, good to know! I'm adding duct tape and a tarp to my Christmas wish list.

Don't forget the axe and the caustic lime!

...and I wonder why no one in my family ever gets me what's on my xmas list.

Unless you go down without a helmet. Then you won't be able to unwrap the tape, and in any case probably won't need your hands anymore.

Wow, it only took me 5 hours to realize I wrote break instead of brake. Back to lurking for me.

I actually majorly dig the look of wood grain skis. There's a rando French company that makes them:

Also these Fischers:

Totally badass would be to have a woodgrain surfboard.

It's a nice contrast to some of the super awful "street art-inspired" graphics that they've been putting on skis lately.

And I see now that my overcooked pun on "hand breaks/hand brakes" is damn near impenetrable. Never mind.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I saw at least one Russian gun moll on a Chanel board in Madonna a couple years ago. At least one Dior board too, although that one was probably just a custom deck with no real affiliation.

If you are skiing a pair of Chanel skis this season, expect a lot of people (including me) to ski right over your skis on the slopes and in the lift lines.

If you're riding a Chanel board, expect to get beat up in the parking lot.
