Double Cuff

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?
