... original press kit from the "bijoux de diamants" exhibition in paris, 1932. this is just one of the many gems currently on display at the culture chanel exhibition at moca shanghai. the culture chanel website is a pretty comprehensive virtual guide for those of us who couldn't be there. the video on le baudruchage [under origins] of chanel N°5 bottle is simply exquisite. and did you know where the double "C" monogram came from [under abstraction]? sorry it's a flash site, so no permanent links... but stay a while and play around, you won't be disappointed!IMAGES FROM CULTURE CHANEL / PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROBERT BRESSON

... not sure why i've been so drawn to the brand lately, but this is the third post i've done this month that's related to chanel. love how delicate the heels are compared to their more industrial fall 2010 campaign. equally glamorous wouldn't you say?IMAGES VIA MY PINBOARDS + FASHION GONE ROGUE
... don't know why i keep coming back to this image... so instead of sharing multiple pins from last week, the focus is on this single shot. the subject, the location, the attitude. sometimes you just need THE one to make a statement. PHOTO CREDITS VIA MY PINBOARDS
