Karl & Coco :: Dreams of Shanghai

He's done it again . . .. Another dreamy film of
Another Place & Another Time
as done by the multi talented Karl Lagerfeld.
Last year his dreams of Russia were the base for the
Paris - Moscow Collection.
This year he takes us on a dream journey which begins with
the Dutchess of Windsor ascending the mirrored Rue Cambon staircase
for a cup of tea with Madame Coco.
After whisperings of secrets from her Chinese travels, Coco
proceeds to a small nap in the next room and the
dreams unfold.
First to exchange jackets .. . . authentic Mao
for authentic Chanel.
She finds it suits her very well
and leaves the linen handkerchief tucked at the wrist.
(But of course!)
On to the Imperial Palace, where the boy Emperor
and the Dowager Empress welcome her
and remind her ... . . "It's just a dream."






Alas, a very sweet dream
that M. Lagerfeld has shared with us.

Our dear Vicki at French Essence is also dreaming
