Say what you want about Karl Lagerfeld, but you must admit he’s a design genius. Chanel has always been about the details and finishing; Karl is certainly continuing that legacy.
With all the hype around Chanel last year, both current and past {think Coco Chanel movies}, it’s hard to imagine Chanel as anything but extraordinary and luxurious. That wasn’t always the case, particularly in the time between Gabrielle Coco Chanel’s death and the time that Lagerfeld stepped in.
The Chanel we know today is the direct result of Alan Wertheimer and the outrageous Lagerfeld. Wertheimer is responsible for persuading Lagerfeld to jump ship at Chloe and join Chanel. It is because of Wertheimer that Chanel No. 5 is en vogue again; it was once selling at drugstores and considered out of date. Interesting, no?

Swept away by this starry and sweet wedding. It’s completely DIY-able and can easily be done for a birthday party, bridal shower, or baby shower. All the foods were given a touch of gold leaf or shimmer; everything from bonbons to turkish delights to macaroons. I’m curious to know what the champagne jello tastes like. See more at Martha Stewart Weddings.
