Little Black Jacket

 With winter just around the corner, tiptoeing every so slightly a little closer, I started thinking back to winter in Paris and realised that I had completely forgotten to share the details of an exhibition that I saw in November at the Grand Palais. So, without further ado here is a little reminiscent post about the Little Black Jacket exhibition that I went to see with Miss JJ and IS.



The collection was put together by the Chanel fashion house and was comprised of hundreds of photos of influential fashion people, actors, musician and other recognisable faces all wearing a little black jacket. The photos were mainly in black and white and were largely taken by Karl Lagerfeld himself. We spend an hour of so wandering around appreciating the diversity, simplicity and beauty of the photographs and the fashion. I find it amazing that such an iconic garment can be so universal but so unique at the same time. Each person imprints their own personality and life into the jacket and yet the jacket in itself makes a unifying status that is instantly identifiable.




The best thing was that entrance was completely free and we were all given a poster of one of the pictures as a souvenir. An absolute bargain way to spend a chilly afternoon. Although the exhibition is finished in Paris now, it is making its way across the world and will next be arriving in Shanghai!
