You are certainly not looking for a very well cut garment or shoe when you go to Chanel... what I have seen in here looks straight-forwardly made for the Madame Chirac-types (legit, but questionable what the young people find so cool about that, other than that the hip model-and-socialite-gang help to promote the image as young and edgy...which of course, it is NOT).
The satelite and couture collections really are the only things that excite me about Chanel. That workmanship is indeed breathtakingly beautiful - but not these clothes.
