All High Fashion Boils Down to Chanel

It seems as though Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel has taken to the russophilic trend, and created his Spring-Summer 2009 collection under the name "Pairs-Moscou". In accompaniment to his collection, he has created a short film of Coco Chanel's own love affair with Russian culture. Deeply immersed in Russian history, the film portrays post Bolshevik revolutionary Moscow. Chanel is accompanied by the Grand Duke Dmitri, with whom she tries to converse over Russian Constructivism versus Parisian Cubism, to which Dmitri responds that he know nothing of the two, he only knows of Russian Imperialism and Russian folklore. Coco recalls her enchantment with the extravagance of Russian Imperialism, and decides that her next collection shall represent the intersection of Parisian-Russian fashion.
