chanel "paris shanghai" | episode #2

the making of the paris-shanghai collection, debuted in december 2009, coinciding with the opening of the first chanel maison in china. coco chanel herself never had a chance to visit china, but through the eyes and scribbles of karl lagerfeld, i can imagine this collection would be close to what she'd imagine.



and while on the subject of chanel, i am also lusting for the 'temporary skin art' seen in the S/S RTW '09 show. said to last at least 75 days (sans exfoliating, i presume), i think these $75 tats are totally worth it. **
