Chanel's Classic Revisited

I KNEW that these photos would convince me that I absolutely need (want) this jacket.

Aaaaaaaaaaand there it goes into my ever growing list of things-I-will-buy-for-myself-at-some-point-in-life-that-are-insanely-expensive-and-possibly-unnecessary. But in all honesty, it might get downgraded to the list of things-that-are-just-plain-impossible-unless-I-become-very-very-rich. 

Well, a girl can dream.

The exhibition is a joint project between stylist Carine Roitfeld as well as renowned designer and photographer Karl Lagerfield, showcases the jacket modelled by a ginormous bunch of famous people, such as the Fanning sisters (LUCKY GIRLS), Sarah Jessica Parker and even 3 year old Hudson Kroenig (what a cutie pie). I've yet to find out if the exhibition is coming to Melbourne (I doubt it. Even if they came to Australia surely they would have it in Sydney. EVERYTHING happens in Sydney.) but you can check out all the photos here. 

The spinning and half transparent images did make me slightly dizzy though. BUT ITS WORTH IT. 

(You can click on the photos to view a flat and well... solid version of the photo, and navigate with your mouse/arrows. I'm saying this because it actually took me a while to figure out that it was not an automatic slideshow)

I love how the theme and feel of the outfit in each photo is so different, even when it's just black and white photography, when they are all wearing the same piece. Such is the magic of a good stylist. Definitely inspires me to do the same with my wardrobe and make the most out of everything I own... THATS going to be a challenge.

Here are the few of  my favourites! (there are more than a 100 photo's in total)

How adorable is he? At 3 years of age he's already walked the runway of two Chanel shows. Lucky kid.

Tang Wei

She looks stunning here. Love the fat braids. 

Carine Roitfeld

This last one is my favourite of the favourites. Elegant, poised and polished. 

Watch the making-of process here!

In between now and getting that jacket (which may never become a reality but lets not rule out the possibilities, who knows, I may accidentally come up with some breakthrough invention that will make me a billionare. Like a device to make changing bedsheets when beds are situated at corners of rooms a much much easier task, for example), I will just continue hanging out amongst the racks of beautiful (and more reasonably priced) jackets and blazers at Zara.

Till next time lovelies x
