A Monument To An Iconic Jacket

At the Chanel Couture Show in Paris yesterday, the runway was turned into the stage above. Models filed out of a 75-foot cardigan jacket, then disappeared back inside of it at shows end, symbolizing a "hub from which other styles emerged and inevitably returned to." [New York Times]

In recent years, Karl Lagerfeld has strayed too far from this hub, in my opinion. I've always loved Classic Chanel and it's very hard for me to understand his thought process when I see what he creates these days. However, if he's coming back to the classics, kudos to him.

Buzzing off for now...
