Word of the Day: Kepi
Where We’ve Seen It: Chanel Couture 2014
Origin: Originally the kepi was a hat more common to the battlefield than the runway. Its square brim and short crown style was the military standard for French soldiers who fought in the civil war during the mid-1800s. For Chanel 2014 couture, Lagerfeld gave the kepi an haute makeover in tweed bouclé—and it s an accessory we’d have no problem surrendering our wallets to.
