Chanel

What a great idea! This photo is from fashion week in Paris last week. I love the two skirts on the left of the photo. 

Mr. Lagerfeld had the idea to recreate a full-size facade of 31, rue Cambon inside the Grand Palais — and not only the building but also the street, complete with curbs. The models left the maison and hit the street. There was even the suggestion that four models strolling out together in mini knit dresses and fancy net hats might be representing the hooker element. If you’ve lived in Paris, and around fashion, as long as Mr. Lagerfeld has, you wouldn’t judge women that harshly. (from NY Times Oct. 3)

Last July when I was in Paris, my husband and I had lunch at a cafe across from Chanel. We could see our reflection in the Chanel window. We took a photo of the window with our reflection in it. (how ever that photo is on our computer that died and still needs to be recovered.)
