Karl Lagerfeld has made the black glove fashionably functional as a mobile phone holder. Shown in his collection for Fall 2009, this ultra-supple leather fingerless wonder has an integrated strap to hold your mobile as a chic accessory. There’s a bit of a James Bond feel to it, don’t you think?
Lagerfeld also drew attention to the wrist in this collection with intricate filigree metal cuffs and arm warmers made of both lace and scrunched leather.
