Chanel- Behind the Scenes Footage

If you ask any young girl obsessed with fashion what's her favorite designer brand, you can bet 9 times out of 10, she answers Chanel. Chanel has always been synonymous with impeccable taste and class. It's no wonder when you look at some of the intricate detailing Chanel tailors put into one dress. It's a eye squinting, finger pricking, meticulous process to get from a piece of cloth to an outfit worth of the runway.

Practical yet not practical at the same time... pseudopractical? Regardless, I kind of love it. I like the idea of having a Chanel 2.55 inside a clear briefcase-like Chanel bag. You can carry it to the office and have fellow pedestrians gawk (but enviously) at all that Chanel. Once you get to the office, you can open it up like a briefcase, touch up your makeup, plug your ipod into the computer, and start your workday completely fabulous. And everything's completely organized so you don't have to rumage. On the other hand, it may just be some fancy packaging contrived by Lagerfeld. Whatever it is, it's working because I want it.

Chanel Couture S08

Some people have been blogging about how amazing the Chanel show looked this year- but I don’t necessarily agree. Chanel went back to its roots this season, going back to the classic Chanel jacket. The theme was unsubtly manifested in the giant Chanel jacket that graced the middle of the runway. Most outfits consisted of the Chanel jacket, a mini skirt or mini dress, and flats. I like each of the elements separately, but together, the make even tall lanky models boxy. The few that didn’t look boxy were saved by a black outfit paired with black leggings and black shoes. Overall, Chanel '08 was not good, not bad. I did like Devon Aoki closing the show.

The few stunners in the show.
