Great cover I love it
Also the best use of 'the wink' in a while.
Chanel looking mighty fine.

[vogue28]

I'm on the fence with this. But I'm pleased for Chanel

[hautechild]

Well, I like it! It's a pretty good cover.

[AnaBGD]

Even if I'm not Chanel's biggest fan, can't deny it, cover looks good.

[sedirea]

I like it.

[Luxx]

Whoa! Today is the day for cool covers. Chanel looks incredible here, she's absolutely got it. Amazing really, the wink, the styling, everything just works. I agree that even if you don't love Chanel you have to respect that she gives her all in pictures.

Can anyone read what the text on the cover says?

'Creating a fashion environment without skimping on the sparkle!'

Which, much like the cover subject doesn't make much sense.

[pajonk]

when come out?
