Chanel.

Ever since watching the movie Coco Avant Chanel starring Audrey Tautou - who played Chanel amazingly - I have been working towards being a more elegant, dignified and self-reliant person.

I love how Chanel was perceived as strong and single minded, rather strange for her time. Maybe the reason I love her so much.
I very much love Chanel apparel and cosmetics, although I cannot afford them for the time being (maybe one day). Karl lagerfeld did such an amazing job with the S/S 2010 range, I love the pastels and sequins he used in both the ready to wear range and haute couture range. Apparently the apartment Chanel lived in - now Lagerfeld's office - above her first shop is exactly how she left it! Many photo shoots are still carried out there.
