Inside Coco Chanel’s Private Apartment

July 24, 2009

 

Vogue TV was among the first to get a glimpse of Coco Chanel’s private apartment in Paris and here is the footage!  I love all the little details — interlocking C’s in the chandelier, the collection of lions, the spraying of No. 5 on the staircase prior to her arrival.  Chanel was always ahead of her time, right down to the light suede sofa on which she sat!

    I just want to tell you that I love your blog and went through the whole thing! I love every posting and I am surprised you don’t have that many comments! I will be visiting often! Especially since I am fashion designer who loves fashion and wants to break into Interiors! We share a lot of things in common. Great blog honey!

    Muahhhz

    So funny that you posted this! I really want to see Coco’s apartment while I am in Paris but after asking around, I was told that they only open it up to editors during fashion week! Quelle bummer!

    Bummer is right! In all the times I’ve been to Paris I’ve never made it to Chez Coco either : ( Maybe someday if the timing is right…
