Watch This: Chanel – The Jacket
The Chanel Tweed Jacket is known world-wide as the jacket that started Chanel. If you’ve seen any Chanel documentary (or movie) you know that Gabrielle “CoCo” Chanel was inspired by menswear, and was known for breaking down gender roles through fashion.

Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2013
Was it only last month that we reveled – nay, swooned – over the Metiers d’Art in Edinburgh? It seems a lifetime ago, or at least another six months on, seeing the Chanel couture come down the runway in Paris. But that seems to be the magic of Kaiser Karl, who is no doubt toiling [...]
Karl Lagerfeld Teams Up With Melissa Shoes

CHANEL Couture Fall 2012
“New vintage” is the theme of Chanel’s fall 2012 Haute Couture collection. Amongst a garden party setting at the Grand Palais, Paris, Karl Lagerfeld presented an homage to Chanel’s design history, through a range of decades.
