Chanel

It's pre fall collection time and Karl Lagerfeld went back to the classic feel for the Chanel show in Shanghai.  Karl Lagerfeld told WWD in regards to his trip to Shanghai“It is about the idea of China, not the reality...It has the spirit of, and is inspired by, but is unrelated to China. It is not authentic like a Peking Opera or something.”

"You see, everyone in the whole world can wear Chanel" -- Coco Chanel




. “Coco Chanel never came to China, so they imagine the trip she never made, a fantasy of her coming to Shanghai in the Thirties and Forties and during the Cultural Revolution,” said Lagerfeld. “Shanghai has a very special reputation, very different from other Chinese cities.”
