"The
CHANEL jacket symbolises a timelessly fashionable form of nonchalant feminine
elegance: it belongs to every era".
These were Karl Lagerfeld's words at
the end of the photo shoot, for the book The Little Black Jacket CHANEL's
classic jacket revisited by Karl Lagerfeld and Carine Roitfeld in Paris. Over
a hundred models and celebrities have been captured by the designer's lens.
Actors, artists, singers, rock stars: Sarah Jessica Parker,
Georgia May Jagger, Alice Dellal, Maïwenn, Laetitia Casta, Virginie Ledoyen and
Akuol de Mabior, all wear CHANEL's uniquely timeless and versatile little black
jacket in their own special way.

THE SCENES AT THE PHOTO SHOOTS, STUDIO 7L, PARIS:
I wanna show some jewelry designed by Peggy Skemp. I need to admit that Anatomical Collection i am finding quite creepy, but I really love the Tentacle Collection.
All of this anatomical hearts, musculature, lungs, brains, tentacles, squid, octopus are hand cast in everything from 18k gold to bronze. All types of sterling - high polished, antiqued and blackened. Some are even studded with diamonds or gemstones.
On display at The Milk Factory is a series of black and white photos by fashion photographer Jean Baptiste-Mondino of a Holstein Cow named Hermione donning hats designed by a UK milliner.
