Karl Lagerfeld presented his haute couture collection for Chanel in Paris yesterday. The theme was papier and each model's hair was adorned with hand-crafted fleurs. The fragility of the material was beautifully delicate yet hypermodern. The details of each creation are astounding. I once watched a french documentary on the atelier of Chanel. The seamstress are all quirky femmes d'une certain age. Before a collection debut, they work all night long. A small television broadcasts the fashion show so they may watch their blood, sweat and tears promenade down the runway.
There is a blizzard out my window.
Thank god for fashion.
