I got Chanel, Keiko’s Chanel.
A product of the Chanel + Colette Mashup – that featured artist Fafi.
This woman was in a crowd of fashionable people on the streets of Paris and her Fafi customized Chanel handbag did its duty; it stood out.

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
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.

Paris Fashion week is March 1st to 9th and if you’ll be in town there are many fashionable happenings off the catwalks.
Parisian “cool” shop Colette will be teaming up with fashion powerhouse Chanel to present a pop-up store including pieces from Chanel and young Up & coming designers curated by Colette.
We’ll let the press release take over from here “fashion, visual arts and musical performances, resulting in a fun-fuelled, creative mix by Chanel and Colette with a rock ‘n’ roll vibe. The headlining creations from Chanel Spring-Summer 11 collection will be juxtaposed with a selection from young designers chosen by Colette. Classic Chanel bags and this season’s bag designs will be originally customised by various artists. ÉRES [the swimwear brand owned by Chanel] will be included in the mix with pieces from its collection in a palette of black and iridescent hues that will beautifully contrast with Maison MICHEL’s spotted veils. Also waiting to be discovered, or rediscovered, is a selection of books published byÉditions 7L and back issues of Visionaire magazine. ”
