This afternoon Monsieur Constant (or j-p-c, as I like to refer to him as) took us on a little adventure. This adventure took place in the haute couture fashion atmosphere of: The Promenade.
Our main destination was to take a look at Chanel's original boutique in Paris.
He schooled us on many aspects of Chanel's vast history...
Below is the place she often visited to purchase her expensive chocolates...
In Chanel's vintage boutique, I saw the famous staircase that Chanel had her models strut down during fashion shows. Her three slanted mirrors are also still at the top of the staircase -- which she used to keep an eye on all perspectives of her make-up, her garments, and all else that went on inside her fashion house.
Check-out House of Chanel's "MySizeFashionDoll" (I like to call them...)
♥ so jet-setter chic
These bags are made for dancing in the rain...
Et plus.. MySizeFashionDolls
Close-up of the fabulous-ness ♥
♥ Notice that the doll's booties are two-toned. Chanel invented this style. She did not like her feet, she thought they were to long and big. Thus, she did not like to show them. Through 2-toned heels, she successfully created the illusion of the tip being her actual toes. Coco Chanel would use this technique inversely -- sometimes white would be the tip and other time black would be the heel's tip.
Gorgeous.
Adorably-chic.
Lastly...
House of Chanel was surrounded by other great fashion houses...
