The Secret Behind The Chanel Jacket
by The CoF
The secret behind the Chanel jacket is that it’s actually a men’s jacket… As a symbol of Chanel’s style and elegance, the jacket takes its place as one of the House’s icons. Endlessly desirable and reinvented with each season, its modernity and apparent simplicity make it an indispensable item in any woman’s wardrobe. Conceived by Mademoiselle Chanel in the 1950s and inspired by Austrian jackets for men, this tailored jacket, when combined with a skirt reaching just below the knee line, became […]

Behind the Scenes At Spring 2013 Couture
by The CoF
The couture shows are the red carpet leading up to the red carpet, the season that finds a dreamy, romantic forest sprouting under the domed ceiling of the Grand Palais, the week when one minute you might see Shakespearean fairy queens floating down the runway, and space goddesses the next. And yet, in the midst of a world obsessed with creating grand statements, the most thrilling sights are often found in the smaller moments. From Versace to Armani Privé, from backstage to […]

Stella Tennant opened the show in a white tweed cape and jacket hybrid, black […]
