Do You Cry for Couture?

Do You Cry for Couture?

It goes without saying that seeing snaps of a runway show pales in comparison to seeing the clothes in person. And, of course, this truth is amplified when you are referring to haute couture. Still, those of us with neither the budget nor the media sway to gain access to these gratuitous displays of...

If It Wasn’t Chanel Would You Still Love it? PFW Spring 2010

If It Wasn’t Chanel Would You Still Love it? PFW Spring 2010

Chanel Fall RTW 2009

Chanel Fall RTW 2009

Legendary or not, boxy tweed in Pepto pink is just plain ugly! Still, I wouldn’t dare ignore a Chanel collection – in any season....

Spring Couture ’09: Chanel

Spring Couture ’09: Chanel
