Black for energy. White for purity. Add to this the classic… quilted, generous shapes and oversized, and the French design house delivers a triumphant new object of desire: the hula hoop bag. Once again, it is real success for Chanel. This “Unidentified Fashion Object” exceeds the limits of the first function of the bag. Karl...

Designer Charlotte Olympia understood it well and created for the occasion a capsule collection around her Dolly model.

The expression “opposites attract” has never rung so true. Generous volumes with a cocoonish allure, color blocking that gives a bit of panache, a fur band to add a soft touch, linear prints for sobriety: this is the recipe for the Céline sweater. Totally in contrast and opposition, this new winter trend is not something...
Grace, natural beauty: both of them are elements that loath pretenses. Dior has been integrating them into its work since 2005. The makeup line Diorskin Nude is able to draw up a perfect skin tone, without flaws or even color for that matter. Dior gives the illusion of a naked skin, naturally pink, peachy, or...

And so, it wasn’t an invention of great Spanish master Cristóbal Balenciaga’s, but with him it saw its contours defined and enjoyed an...

Behind this door lay the intimacy of an entire universe: the lion, the shooting star, the camellia. Chanel’s emblems, all present and accounted for. Chanel never ceased to inspire CHANEL.
