Paris vs. New York

My favorite part of the online world is stumbling upon wonderful blogs and websites I never knew about. I recently came across the darling blog, Paris vs. New York: A Tally of Two Cities, where graphic designer, Vahram Muratyan, shares "visual matches" between the two cities. He grew up in Paris but now spends his time exploring New York. Here are some of my favorite illustrations...be sure to check them all out here. Very clever!

Inside Coco Chanel's Apartment

The Coveteur recently posted this beautiful feature of Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel's apartment. The residence at 31 Rue Cambon is infused with gorgeous red tones and a mix of oriental inspired elements. Here are some of my favorite photos from this iconic piece of Chanel history!

From Paris to Bombay

“It’s much more inspiring not to go to places than to go.” - Karl Lagerfeld

Today, Karl Lagerfeld presented Chanel’s Pre-Fall 2012 collection at the Grand Palais. The collection’s theme, “Paris-Bombay,” paid homage to India and was a reminder that the fashion industry relies on India for their beautifully detailed, handmade pieces. What’s special about this collection is that all of the pieces that were intricately made in Indian fashion were actually produced by the Parisian atelier. The cities of Paris and Bombay fused together perfectly with draped silk, paisley patterns, beading and pearly tweeds. As usual, Karl took us into a dream world with his collection. He is a true visionary!
