This Spring It's Chanel

Lacy ra-ra skirts, boucle jackets, elegant dresses and bouncy fun depicted the Chanel haute couture show in Paris yesterday. Ruffled blouses and chiffon neckerchiefs highlighted the slenderness of the neck, a look adopted by Nicole Kidman for the London premier of Cold Mountain recently. Karl Lagerfeld, who turns 70 this year, still has some creative work to do if he is to follow in Coco Chanel's shoes. She worked until the ripe old age of 86.
