The Little Black Jacket by Chanel - with video

First imagined by Coco Chanel in 1954, the Chanel  jacket has maintained as a timeless piece in any wardrobe. To honor this iconic (and needed)  jacket, The Little Black Jacket exhibition will arrive at London's Saatchi Gallery on October 12, following showings in Tokyo, New York, Taipei and Hong Kong. 

The idea came from Karl Lagerfield and Carine Roitfield when they were creating a coffee book with friends of Chanel wearing the Chanel "Little Black Jacket", each one wearing it in a different way, reflecting their own personal style. The photographs display the versatility and timelessness of the Chanel Jacket through 113 photographs shot by Lagerfeld himself. 

During the exhibition, window displays in Chanel's Bond Street, Sloane Street and Brompton Cross Boutiques will also showcase a range of jackets from their latest collection. 


The book that inspired the exhibition will be available to purchase this autumn worldwide. The exhibition goes until October 28.

Watch the video to see how this classic is made.






Great locations for you vacation rental.

A Londoner's Beauty Summer Kit

The Post Festival Recovery Kit by Hayley Cheval Gloucester Park has a Boots nearby. We wait all year for the summer to enjoy the best of the open air. But staying more outside means more time standing up, less sleep, more time in the sun and a lot more walking. And that can make us look tired... which is not at all the face of summer. London beauty queen +Hayley Carr  set up what she calls a "post festival recovery kit", as in London summer = music festivals everywhere (and we love it).  But we thought this selection is also good for every summer event, perfect to make you look fresh all season long.
