Chanel Paris- Bombay Pre Autumn Collection 2012

Chanel previewed their Paris-Bombay pre-autumn/winter 2012-13 collection at the Grand Palais in Paris. Taking inspiration from clothes designed by Coco Chanel in the Fifties and Sixties, Karl Lagerfeld's latest collection heavily references traditional Indian menswear. 

Lagerfeld explained his approach to WWD: "It's all about refinement. It's the Paris version of the idea of India. She [Coco Chanel] designed several Indian-inspired outfits — and that was enough. Most of the inspiration is from Indian men's clothes rather than women's clothes."

Madonna auctions her pair of black and white Chanel boots

Madonna has contributed a pair of black and white Chanel boots (preworn and autographed) for afundraising auction being held at her daughter Lourdes’ school, LaGuardia High School, a public high school located in New York City’s Upper West Side. This school is often referrred to as “The Fame School,” for the movie which was inspired by it. More recently, Alicia Keys and Nick Minaj are a couple of its more famous attendees and there are many, many more. Not sure what program Lourdes is a part of, but whatever it is, she had to try out for her spot. Laguardia is one of a handful of highly-ranked New York City public high schools for which you have to meet very high test-in or try-out entry standards to be admitted. As for what those boots may bring to the school, the highest bid at the moment is $2,860, with three days left.

The secret of the Handbag Chanel

 Chanel gives an inside look at the making of its famous 2.55 bag. Discover here how the bag was named:

In 1929 Mademoiselle Chanel was the first to introduce an elegant version of the shoulder bag. It did already exist, in the form of a large pouch with a wide strap, but was only used by members of the military on campaign. Women discovered, to their delight, that by using a thin strap they could walk around with their hands free. A new fashion was born. From then on, Mademoiselle Chanel constantly used this idea, until she eventually created the bag commonly known as the “2.55” (which is in fact its date of birth) in February 1955.

Interesting that straps weren’t a part of bags until Coco Chanel came along!
