Mademoiselle Chanel’s apartment in Paris

I had the privilege to visit Mademoiselle Chanel’s apartment at Rue Cambon, Paris above the principal luxury store. I was glad to make it. Though the store and fitting room are known, the apartment itself is hardly opened to mass.

Fendi ad campaign

I’m not being very original saying that, since it’s from Karl. And everything that Karl does, everyone into fashion likes it. But I really like this campaign.

Madeleine Vionnet, a fashion purist
“What I did is not fashion. It was designed to last forever” said the woman known as the architect of dressmakers. I attended Madeleine Vionnet, puriste de la mode, exhibit last week at The Musée des Arts Décoratifs (107 rue de Rivoli, Paris, Mo Palais Royal). Thrice I was in Paris in the last months, twice I couldn’t attend the exhibit. You imagine how I was thrilled to eventually do it last week. The exhibit lasts until end of January 2010 and showcases more than 130 (fairy) dresses that Vionnet fabricated. I was stunned to figure out how modern the dresses are. They date back to the beginning of the century and they look like contemporary dresses. If you pay a visit, do not hesitate to take the guided tour to understand the era’s context and get full explanation about Madeleine Vionnet’s talent.

Karl Lagerfeld slams lazy fat mummies

I know I just wept about my dying Mac and how I would be unable to write over its resuscitation week. I am hijacking a 24” iMac, which is a dream compared to my 15” MBP.

It seems that fashion tsar Karl Lagerfeld is no kinder than Anna Wintour with fat people. It’s not a surprise, but it’s funny to point it out.
Check out this excerpt of Anna Wintour interview in Morley Safer’s 60 minutes CBS show.
