Bringing Back 1920's Glam with Model Freja Beha and Photographer Steven Meisel to the famous comments of Coco Chanel

This fabulous 1920's inspired editorial by photographer Steven Meisel and model Freja Beha, brings me back to the famous quotes from Coco Chanel.

“Fashion fades, only style remains the same.”


“In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.”



“A girl should be two things:

classy and fabulous.”



“As long as you know men are like children,
you know everything!”




“The best color in the whole world,
is the one that looks good, on you!”




“Don't spend time beating on a wall,
hoping to transform it into a door.”




“A woman is closest to being naked when she is well dressed”



“I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny.”

“There is time for work, and time for love.
That leaves no other time”

"A woman that doesn't wear perfume has no future."

Chanel Spring 2010 Haute Couture

I start with the Chanel shorts suit.

I love the color of green and lord knows I die for a Chanel suit. But, what the heck are they thinking with the shorts suit? I personally would throw down the Chanel suit on a job interview, closing a big deal, marriage of child, wedding of ex, etc... You know, the few special events in your life when a top of the line Chanel suit is needed. So, why on earth would I throw on granny shorts versus a pencil skirt on such heavy hitter day? I normally am very positive but I think they are way off course on this one. What do you think?

I think the rest of the collection is done to perfection with romantic draping details and exquisite workmanship.

I'm feeling a little 60's vibe here.

This baby really hits me. What do you think?

Very young and hip with the extreme

metallic top and draped bottom.

So soft and romantic.

What are your thoughts about this collection?

Are you up for trying on the granny Chanel shorts suit?

Am I going to be eating my words in two years?

It has happened before...
