I know Chanel has, what, maybe 60,000 people at the shows now, but I miss these old fashioned venues, especially for Couture where the details could be seen up close...

I guess I'm kind of glad Karl's been doing more modest designs in the past decade or so. (That first dress on Claudia looks almost Cavalli-esque up top!)

One of my favorite Chanel details- contrasting linings that can match the blouse, and sometimes even the bag- how cool!! B)
