Chanel Spring 2010 Couture

Karl called the heart-shaped hair coiffures “neon baroque”….Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette has been influential way beyond it’s time, don’t you think?

The Beautiful Fall

For anyone interested in the history and rivalry between 2 of fashion’s most iconic designers, Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent, then The Beautiful Fall: Lagerfeld, Saint Laurent and Glorious Excess in 1970’s Paris is a must read!  The book is full of juicy gossip and all the stuff that makes reality fashion shows like Project Runway so alluring: egomaniacs, depravity, and of course back-stabbing.

A Chanel treat for you!

Remember the Chanel film I wrote about in this post last week? {The black and white film about Mlle Chanel that Karl Lagerfeld created and showed before his Pre-Fall 2009 collection in Paris?} Well, here it is!

What recession?

Karl Lagerfeld showed an luxurious Russian-inspired Pre-Fall 09 collection for Chanel this week in Paris. The runway show was in a dilapidated old theatre {gorgeous, I’m sure} and followed a 10-minute black and white film that the Kaiser created about Coco Chanel’s early years. {Wouldn’t you love to see that?}
