Anti-Minimalism

In this season of predominantly minimalism, I'd like to show you one of my fave Vogue covers of all time. Brooke in 1983 in the most opulent Chanel Couture jacket entirely covered in embroidery, beading and sequins by the venerable house of Lesage. Leave it to Karl Lagerfeld (he started his job with Chanel that year) to be inspired by an 18th century snuffbox. On the right a dress from the Couture advertising campaign that September.
