fashion week

Photos from the Chanel show yesterday.

It’s always such a huge visual fashion stimulation for me snapping outside Chanel because you really see a mix of equal parts eccentric and conventional dressing in one place.

Loved the all blue look.

Every time I see her, its always Wow! She piles on the accessories every time, and I love that confidence to pull it off.

Patchwork Chanel oversized bag, stacked Hermes bracelets, multiple Yves Saint Laurent rings. She’s wearing an entire college tuition on the right side of her body. Fashion as status symbol.

Color block anyone? I took so many shots of her, full body, sitting, standing, but somehow I just love how it seems like there is a halo around her in this shot.

Wait, I’ll post the full outfit soon so you all can see the colorful heels too. She wasn’t holding anything back about the mix of colors.

At Chanel you can see classic-clean styles and fierce-fun styles

“BIG UP CHANEL”

I walked into what used to be an old garage space now made new to house the limited installation of Chanel pieces at Colette as well as young emerging designers curated by Colette. Well known artist Fafi was in the house customizing bags, and a stiff set of security guards to make sure there weren’t any photos taken inside.

But , alas, here is what I captured from the outside. P.S. I love that the wall graffiti said “Big Up Chanel”…Jamaican vernacular gone mass-luxe?

Today was less packed than two nights ago, when I rode by and saw a queue of people waiting in the cold to get inside.

Giovanna Battaglia waiting for her driver outside the Christian Dior show during Paris Fashion week, wearing a Missoni Coat and Fur stole. Nicely belted.  I will post some cool photos I took of her shoes later.
