A SELF-STYLED “label w***e” who spent over £4k on the Skims’ collaboration with Swarovski has hit back at trolls.
Christian Chanel rushed to her local Swarovski store after finding out the crystal jeweller had teamed up with Kim Kardashian’s brand to release embellished clothes and body chains.
She revealed on TikTok she’s spent thousands on the collection, prompting a number of savage comments about her “wasting money” and only shopping “for the label”.
But Christian was quick to hit back that she doesn’t slate people “for liking knock-offs or Shein”.
In a follow-up video, said that “a lot of people came at her” for splashing the cash on the rhinestone-studded pieces but she doesn’t care.
“One thing about me, I live the soft life,” she said. “I live the luxury life. I live a life of leisure.
“I like nice things with the branding.
“And you know what? Don’t knock it till you try it, boo boo.
“If you could afford it, you probably would too.
“No shade, no tea.”
Some trolls even accused Christian of buying the collection for the video with the intention to return it after, but she was quick to point out that “you can’t return”.
“I’ve always been a very glamorous girl and a label w***e,” she said.
“And you know what? I’m not even ashamed of that.
“I’m not knocking you for liking knock-offs and Shein.”
Among the pieces she got from the luxury collaboration were the £196 Jelly Sheer Cami Long Dress and £165 Mixed Cuts Body Chain.
In total, she claims to have spent £4.7k on pieces from the collection.
As well as being a content creator, Christian says she makes money as a consultant and owner of a haircare company.
Kim Kardashian announced Skims’ collaboration with Swarovski earlier this month, dubbing it “one of a kind”.
In a press release, Kim explained the idea behind the designs:“For this collaboration, we really wanted to celebrate individual creativity and bring more glamour into getting dressed every day.”
It launched on November 7 with some styles “adorned with hundreds of crystals” and designed to make you “radiate confidence”.
