Coco Chanel’s Paris Apartment

Coco Chanel’s Paris apartment was just above her boutique at Rue Cambon 31. It was here that models would show new collections to potential buyers, but today it’s mostly used for press interviews and fashion shoots. The apartment provides a look into the world of Coco Chanel, and still has many of her own personal belongings displayed throughout including a few cigarette holders given to her by one of her lovers, the Duke of Westminster. The most peculiar thing is that although it was her apartment, there’s no bedroom. Every night, she’d retire to her private room at the Ritz just down the street. And every morning before heading back to the boutique, she’d call to have them spray it full of Chanel No.5.

Eva Herzigova & Claudia Schiffer in Vogue Paris

The March issue of Vogue Paris is a special edition dedicated to Coco Chanel, and the fashion house baring her name. The issue is full of special material including a photo shoot of Eva Herzigova and Claudia Schiffer posing in great outfits. The photos were taken by Karl Lagerfeld. The cover was shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, who supposedly ripped off a Vogue Italy cover from 1992. I can see the resemblance, but not enough to the point where I would make such a statement. They were also accused of such deed back in September of 2008. Well history repeats itself as they say, and there is nothing new under the sun. I’d chalk it up to a coincidence and leave it at that.
