Sometimes the Kaiser amazes me. And he doesn’t even have to speak in order to achieve that! Besides having to draw so many collections per season and photograph so many shoots (not only for his maisons but also for various fashion magazines), he has time to read and to sketch. We know he reads because [...]

Aesthetically speaking, I’m worryingly ambivalent when it comes to this Chanel Fountain Ring! Upon a first, quick look, I was ready to label it “ugly”. But then… Something happened. Like automatically installing a likeness filter, I started liking this Chanel Joaillerie piece. Not because it’s beautiful (because I still think it’s not, after my standards), [...]

Kirkland’s young eye (27 years old at the time, in 1962) studied Miss Chanel for three weeks time and got so close and won Coco’s favors that he has gone where no photographer has gone before. In his [...]

Especially if we’re talking Coco Chanel habits – she apparently applied herself to fly fishing with the Duke of Westminster in the 20s and got so good at the job, she caught more fish than he did. So, to honor Coco and encourage us to continue hailing the Mademoiselle, Karl [...]
