Gabrielle Chanel lived a life few women of her generation could have imagined. Fiercely ambitious, yet at the same time sentimental and romantic, she forever changed the fashion world with her ground-breaking approach to style. Masterfully adept at mixing the feminine and the masculine, she freed the women of the…
Runway Report: COCO Crush
While the House of CHANEL has long produced exquisite costume jewelry since being founded by Gabrielle Chanel, it was only in the later half of the 20th century that the brand once again began producing fine and high jewelry.

CHANEL J12

Honestly, these pieces would be perfect any day of the year, but I do find the delicate bow motif and infinity symbol seen throughout these photos as a delightfully subtle nod to romance. I worked closely…
