Wonder twin powers, activate! Form of: fab accessories! (Yes, CC realizes she's mixing her Marvel metaphors!). Perhaps it’s the residue of the Superhero Craze, or fashion’s naughty nod to S&M, but the double cuff is hot, and it’s here to stay.On the runway, pictured via style.com:
Left: Karl Lagerfeld - CC loves these extended bracelets, reminiscent of vambraces (forearm armour worn by knights)!
Right: Cuffs are worn high on the arm, Sienna-style, at Chanel
Another nod to body armor at Rue du Mail, where the cuff nearly becomes a gauntlet.One could totally re-create this look with a bevy of black rubber Madonna bracelets, non?

You're making me really sad for my 80 lost rubber bangles!
this is so superhero i love it :)
i don't really wear cuffs though
my wrists are too skinny and i don't like the feeling when my bracelets feel like they're going to fall off
I suck wearin cuffs (I feel I can't type...), but I love seeing them in other women. Makes a real statement I think
oh, i SO almost bought that christian lacroix cuff! but then i realised it was either that or university, as i would have literally no money left xD
WHOA! i recently purchased a Shell-made Double Duff. Perfect.
ah karl! lol love it. I love the cuffs, and the look it gives a piece, but i usually dont like to wear things around my wrists... it always hits something, put my hand in an uncomfortable position, or moves when i move my arm haha
I've got a black leather one trimmed with pink swarovski crystals I really love. Thanks for your last comment.
I love those cuffs with the stars.
Hmm, looks good and suits the models. Not sure it's praticles. Maybe with a few dozen thin bangles? I still ahve a whole bunch left over from a few years ago - I hope they'll still fit!
I'm all inspired now. I'm going to go for it!
The double cuff is here with no holds barred.I love the stephen webster super hero inspired ones! i'd totally rock them
kisses hun,
Marian
The studded cuffs are gorgeous !
CC, I was wondering, do you have your archive posted on your blog anywhere? I wanted to go back and check out some of your old posts from the Alphabet series :)

double cuffs are too much for me but adores all the cuffs, one for me is plenty.
Oh I love that Spiderman cuff!
great collections
I love cuffs so much but I have puny skinny little wrists so the cuffs either a. weigh me down and hurt or b. fall off. :(
aww.. i wish i could wear bracelets/cuffs.. my wrists are just way too small...
Screw the cuffs -- I am in love with that Chanel skirt!!! =)
I'd actually love some studded cuffs, so badass.
I was always wondering about my habit of wearing bangles on both arms. I'd wonder no more now. :)
I'm drooling over the ASOS bangle.
I've seen a a few feature in magazines about this trend ... I love wearing cuffs,so the double trend makes it even more exciting :)
Fun finds!! I'm loving all of those cuffs!
I adore this and LOVED the Chanel metal baroque tatoos.
This post reminds me of this one:
