STARS AND STRIPES

Sasha Pivovarova on the Chanel Spring/Summer 2008 Ready-to-Wear runway

'...it was the regular Chanel ready-to-wear tsunami of style, strewn with a plethora of surface devices like grommets and portholes (in a bag) and loaded with pearls, chains, bows, bangles, buttons, and star-strung jewellery..' (Style.com) '..The impressive catwalk set up – a navy blue cube with a gigantic leather bow in the centre that the models appeared out of before walking around it.. proving that Lagerfeld never thinks anything but big..' (Vogue.com) I can't remember whether this scan is from British Vogue or British ELLE, but it was definately from a Spring/Summer 2008 catwalk supplement. It's on my bedroom wall because I love the colours, the stars, the stripes, the chains, and in particular, Ms.Pivovarova's terrifying gaze..
