Except, of course, if the object in question is an almost lyrically lovely crocheted Chanel capelet, threaded through with silver lurex for a look that could perhaps best be described as space-age vintage. Yes, we know, on the surface something called a capelet would seem to exclude itself from a lady's list of must-haves, but when you pair the creation's multiple uses—it can work over a sexy camisole, a Hanes tank, or even an evening gown—with Karl Lagerfeld's instinct for the iconic, there's no denying the star quality. Sometimes, it seems, you just have to believe the hype.
