How Glamorous....

HORST, 1937. CONDE NAST PUB.
ON SATURDAY NIGHT I WATCHED LIFETIME'S (I'M NOT USUALLY A FAN OF LIFETIME AND FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO STOMACH ALL THE RIDICULOUS PHARMACEUTICAL ADDS BUT HOW COULD I PASS UP A MOVIE ON COCO?)
DOCU-DRAMA "COCO CHANEL" STARING SHIRLEY MACLAINE
AND BARBORA BOULOVA. THE MOVIE HAS RECEIVED MIXED REVIEWS,
AND DOES MANAGE TO OMIT SOME OF THE MOST GLAMOROUS AND
CREATIVE YEARS OF COCO'S LIFE BUT I STILL MANAGED TO
THINK ABOUT HER DRAMATIC RAGS TO RICHES STORY
ALL DAY SUNDAY.AS AN INTERIOR DESIGNER, I FELT
OBLIGATED TO SHARE PHOTOGRAPHS OF HER TIMELESS, ELEGANTLY
APPOINTED RUE CAMBON, PARIS APARTMENT.
COCO CHANEL WAS A WOMAN BEFORE HER TIME IN EVERYWAY!

I LOVE THE RICH TONES, OF GOLD, CARAMEL. BLACK + TAN.
HER COLOR SENSE AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL ARE AMAZING.
