I know this is more or less a geek blog but I can’t possibly give you a quiz about geekiness because I just don’t know it good enough. So, for today here is fashion trivia, real fashion not geek fashion 🙂
- In 3000 B.C.E., experts believe that nail polish was invented in China.
- According to Allure magazine, the average woman owns 10 handbags. (I guess I am not average. I admit to having 89 bags)
- In 1955, Coco Chanel introduced the first Chanel purse with quilting and a chain strap. (And yes I have one of these.)
- In 2004-2005 there were 800 new shades of eyeshadow created.
- Louis Vuitton is not known for his punctuality but recently he stunned the audience of a fashion show in Paris for beginning exactly on time.
