Chanel Shade Parade, so iconic.



So well thought out, every detail is iconic Chanel. I was in a taxi today and it caught my eye, the hand going down the famous Chanel stairs, without seeing the logo I knew it was Chanel. Great creative showing the brand's shades Dragon, Black Pearl, Inattendu, Particulière and Orange Fizz.

“I am a black-and-white person. Some grays, some dirty pinks, not flashy pinks. I have never been obsessed with color, I cannot explain why. I wanted to become an illustrator as a child. Black-and-white always looks modern, whatever that word means.”_ Karl Lagerfeld, discussing his new collection of glassware for Orrefors, in an interview published in Architectural Digest October 2011.


“What I enjoy the most 
is doing something 
I've never done before".

The ones who see things differently...

They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them,
About the only thing that you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world,
are the ones who do.
