Bombay-Paris

Chanel's epicness is back! 

To be honest I wasn't a huge fan of Chanel's latest collection.

The show was fantastic, the models coming out from the shell and Florence Welch singing live...

but well that's not a plus in a Chanel show, it comes with the package. 

But back to the collection, I felt it was  an incoherent show as though

as if Karl Lagerfeld wanted to portray so many ideas that it the clothes went in all sort of different directions and not in a good way. 

But this pre-fall collection that showed yesterday at Le Grand Palais in Paris 

was a completely different story. 

I completely loved it...the chains, the head accessories, the show...

and of course in contrast of all the prettiness a messy bun of dreadlocks and a 

massive dose of kohl eyeliner. Hell yeah!

I'm foreseeing lots of hindi motifs in our fashion future. 

Long live The Kaiser!

What did you think of the show?

Nº 5

(painting by me, acrylics on canvas)

Hello, hello!

I'm finally off school!!!!!

The Christmas countdown has officially begun!

I've been meaning to make a painting for my room for forever but finals hadn't let me, 

so today I finally got to do it. I had no idea what to paint (I even have an "painting inspiration" 

board on pinterest). I wanted something fashion related but something simple and not so saturated.

My rooms is quite small so I'm trying to decorate it in a way that it doesn't

make it look even smaller. (Don't even get me started on my closet.)

I ended up painting a bottle of the iconic and legendary Chanel Nº 5.

I love the bottle's design. It's really simple yet elegant. 

And I love the commercials/shortfilms for Chanel Nº 5.

This one's my favorite.

So, what do you think?? 

I spent the whole day making some other illustrations too, I'll post them these next days.

love, love, love, 

em. 

Signé Chanel

My sister, aware of my love of fashion, just gave me one of the best presents ever: 

Signé Chanel, the film by Loïc Prigent that follows the Chanel atelier during its creative process

the weeks prior to their Haute Couture F/W 04-05 Show. 

From Karl's sketches to the runway. 

I haven't been able to watch it yet (one big bohoo for homework!), but as soon as I can I will and post a review.

 For those who haven't seen it, you can watch the entire film here. 

have a great weekend peeps!

Me encanta la cara de Diane Kruger de “lero lero soy la favorita del Kaiser y tu no” en esta foto.
