I previewed one of the most exquisite Chanel collections I have ever laid eyes on at the Fall 09 trunk show yesterday. It was an elaborate celebration of culture, art and fashion-- one that only the Kaiser (and the Mademoiselle herself) could have executed so perfectly. The Paris-Moscow collection is a collector's dream-- many pieces are by custom order only (three month delivery) which make them even more collectable. Glittering jewels, exaggerated pearl/beaded belts, embellished leather motorcycle jackets, embroidered cashmere coats, ornate dresses, handpainted and laser cut leather bags, matryoshka doll minaudieres-- everything was fit for a Tsarina! The Paris-Moscow collection will be one remembered as the moment Chanel brought luxury back!

This is a fantastic fabric that I know you are going to love. We spent a long time looking for a matte fabric that we could use for our clothes, and we found it. :) These are pieces that I think girls are going to be wearing VERY often. They just go with everything, and allow you to 'tone down' an outfit without comprising your hotness.
These leggings will make a real statement in the urban jungle, where people will probably want to take their lunch breaks sitting next to you because so they can pretend to be in a nice, green pasture somewhere with grass that looks so good it could almost be growing…
