Bindis in Chanel


I wasn’t surprised with this combo, it was bound to happen (albeit I am no expert). Karl Lagerfeld’s blending of Bombay-Paris for pre-fall was beautiful. As soon as I saw the ‘bindis’ I was hooked. The traditional Chanel tweed was festooned with traditional Indian ornaments and raw silk tunic over leggings. Everything was elegantly put and reminded me of the rich 'maharajas'. 
I am not really astonished or awed to the fact that Karl himself has never been to India yet the decor is in someways Indian, perhaps it's because when it comes to Karl you always expect big. According to him "It's much more inspiring not to go to places than to go" I like the way it sounds.
