'From Russia With Love...Chanel'

Chanel Pre-Fall 2009 Collection resurrects Russian imperialism -- extravagant embellished clothes, empress tiaras and men in uniforms. Karl Lagerfeld took a page from Coco Chanel's historical love affairs with men. At first, I thought this was Chanel's Fall 2009 Couture Collection. With a Pre-Fall Collection like this, I can only imagine what Karl Lagefeld has in store for Fall.
