From Russia with love













Paris, December 3, 2008. Paris-Moscow was the collection's theme for the pre fall show at Chanel. A lot was going on here. Many layers of chiffon, sparkling pearls, feathers, embroidered fabrics just name some of it. All that, and much more, put together with a hats that were a mix of military fur headgear and gracious religious hats, cossack boots and leather leggings. I liked some of it very much because of all the details and all embroidery. But at the end it was just too much, and there is only one place I can imagine this work, and only one kind of women that I think can pull these looks of, and that is - surprise - the russians.
