Obsessed

June 17, 2009 by WendyB

This “artist’s jacket” by Karim Bonnet for Impasse de la Defense would be mine…


… except it’s probably too similar to my painted jacket by Steve J & Yoni P. Right?


If you want to get the artist’s jacket so I can live vicariously through you, it’s available at ShopCurious for £110.00.

    No way! You can have both! A girl can never have too many jackets, and the styling is completely different. I will be forever envious of your Steve J & Yoni P and that 'artist's jacket' is a nice piece of splatter.

    similar but by no means TOO similar. this is definitely more punky.

    As I see the others have said, no no no! Diffierent shape and cut and material and most importantly, the application of paint is in an entirely different style. You need this jacket for your more messy painter days, whilst the other does perfectly for your royal space hippy days 😀 x

    No – they are very different! You must have both!

    I had shorts painted by Gregory Poe in the 80's. I should have kept them.

    Oh, go for it. The Steve J & Yoni P. one is pastel-y, the Karim Bonnet is primaries. There. Justified.

  19. Pamcasso says

    June 17, 2009 at 11:55 am

    I would say both are totally worth it. It's chic to have multiples right (unless you are octomom??)

  20. StyleSpy says

    June 17, 2009 at 12:15 pm

    I'm hardly one to criticize for redundant jackets, am I? Anyone need a band jacket?

  21. DaisyChain says

    June 17, 2009 at 12:17 pm

    that is fucking fantastic, I wish I had £110 laying around.

  22. Sharon Rose says

    June 17, 2009 at 12:36 pm

    Hi there-I reckon you should get the Karim Bonnet one, its an extremely good price and very unique and stylish too!

  23. lisa says

    June 17, 2009 at 12:37 pm

    Hmm I prefer yours actually. The sleeves are much more unique!

  24. LENORENEVERMORE says

    June 17, 2009 at 12:38 pm

    oooh…definitely artistic statement piece! YSL homme had a pair of shoes with paint like that…wished they had me-size!

  25. KD says

    June 17, 2009 at 12:57 pm

    Its not too similar at all!

  26. Kristin says

    June 17, 2009 at 12:58 pm

    I totally don't see why you couldn't have both. I think they give off different vibes. Were it in the budget, I would buy it instantly. Darn US dollar.

  27. jayne says

    June 17, 2009 at 1:07 pm

    that jacket is so fun, and it does look a bit different to me from your other one

  28. Bex says

    June 17, 2009 at 1:13 pm

    Oooo!! There's a DIY project right there!!! If I can actually bring myself to splatter paint on one of my decent white jackets… :[

  29. Rosie Unknown says

    June 17, 2009 at 1:15 pm

    You can never have to many awesome jackets!

  30. Make Do Style says

    June 17, 2009 at 1:59 pm

    Technically they are different!

  31. enc says

    June 17, 2009 at 2:35 pm

    Of course it's NOT too similar. You MUST have it.

  32. Gerri Ward says

    June 17, 2009 at 3:16 pm

    OMG! I WANT your jacket it's DELICIOUSLY HOT !!!

  33. Jill says

    June 17, 2009 at 3:48 pm

    Wow…what big sleeves you have!

  34. down and out chic says

    June 17, 2009 at 4:22 pm

    all of my clothes used to look like this when i was painting regularly!

  35. Tiffany says

    June 17, 2009 at 6:39 pm

    holy crap, that jacket is gorgeous! as is yours! I think you can have both. 🙂

  36. elena-lu says

    June 17, 2009 at 8:10 pm

    haha yes i love to live vicariously through others heehee i think you could have both jackets though ;P

  37. Brigadeiro says

    June 17, 2009 at 8:41 pm

    I totally agree with those who said you can have both, they're very different styles, LOVE the blazer! (and of course, your Steve & Yoni jacket, amazing!) 🙂

    The heartbreak of wanting jackets…

  39. Fashion Tidbits says

    June 17, 2009 at 9:55 pm

    such a cool jacket it's like wearing a canvas!

  40. Lynette says

    June 17, 2009 at 10:20 pm

    Yeah, you could have both jackets for sure, but your pose in those cuffed jeans belongs to the painted jacket by Steve J & Yoni.

  41. Fashion_Loving_Stylist says

    June 17, 2009 at 11:31 pm

    I like your jacket better.

  42. Nadine says

    June 17, 2009 at 11:32 pm

    I think yours is even better!

  43. ~Hurricane B~ says

    June 18, 2009 at 4:29 am

    Wow lots of comments, I agree with everyone. Get it, wow even under 200 bucks I can afford it. Your jacket sleeves have a Resiannce feeling with the rolls in it. This is very casual and the colors are a bit different. I could see that paired with a great pair of heels and shorts.=)

  44. Girl Japan says

    June 18, 2009 at 5:08 am

    Now this is what I call a fun Jacket!

  45. wendygital says

    June 18, 2009 at 5:22 am

    Wow! Your Steve J & Yoni P. jacket is stunning, Wendy!
    But I certainly wouldn't mind to have BOTH jackets! 😉

  46. jennine says

    June 18, 2009 at 6:42 am

    man jackets really do have babies in the closet… well, you really can't have enough artistic jackets!

  47. Duchesse says

    June 18, 2009 at 7:06 am

    They are different enough to get it if you love it!

  48. The Preppy Princess says

    June 19, 2009 at 11:12 am

    Non, non Miss Wendy, you *must* have it! The cut is so different from the Steve J & Yoni P, and it is just “you”!

    Fab Friday at you!

  49. Sunnygrl says

    June 19, 2009 at 11:46 am

    You can definately have both. They are not soooo similar and its not like you can wear them at the same time. I say live vicariously through yourself. 🙂

  50. lipstickatthemailbox says

    June 22, 2009 at 12:17 am

    oh my! That artist’s jacket is to die for!!!! I looooove it. I think it is a must have.
