What is it about Chanel? I openly admit to a long love affair with the illustrious fashion house. While the other kids in sixth grade chose John Adams and George Washington as their heroes, I chose Ms. Chanel herself, for giving women the freedom to dress as they wish, while maintaining elegance, and uncanny amount of j'en sais quois. The name evokes a film-noir nostalgia, reminiscent of a time when sweatpants with uggs and college sweatshirts was non-existent. Is it possible to miss a time when you did not exist? I think so. Anyway, the Chanel Paris-Mosocu show has been on my mind for quite some time. Lagerfeld created the first of a few silent films about Madame Chanel, saying "films these days have too much talking", and played it apres the show. His Russian inspired show, held at the Raleigh theater in Paris, was full of fur, fantastic headdresses, and men in leather. It was love at first sight for me. Thoughts?
Your blog totally beats mine! I completely agree with you about the uggs/ sweatshirt... my sister and I sometimes have contests to see who can spot more girls in black North Face jackets, spandex, and Uggs.. it's so generic!
