Couture Fashion Week in Paris

Twice a year, Paris transforms into the glitterati capital of the world
and showcases Couture fashion of the leading designers.

Unfortunately, not receiving any invitation ;) to the shows,
I'm making a show right here on FrenchMadame.com!

Let's start with my favorite:


Chanel













Every pieces is as stunning as the other. I love the Chanel suits, but the train of the wedding gown is truly magnificent!


Next, a little Italian flavor:
Armani Privé








And the ever-dreamy silhouettes from
Christian Dior







Lots of regal ball gowns and floor-length coats.


Did you catch some of Couture fashion week in Paris?

Spring nearing!

Coco Chanel's French Riviera Estate For Sale

Many of us admire Coco Chanel's eye for style, her panache, and
the vigor she had to change the way women dressed.

Though there still remain some mysteries about her life, we do know that she
owned an expectional French Riviera residence from 1929 to 1953.

This amazing property of approximate 3,5 hectares (8.6 acres), was designed
by the architect Robert Streitz for Mademoiselle Chanel and the
Duke of Westminster.

Mademoiselle Chanel was actively involved in all stages of the design and
creation of the property.

Guests of the 7 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms estate included: Stravinsky, Picasso,
Somerset Maugham, Winston Churchill, the Duke of Windsor, Aristotle
Onassis, Rose Kennedy, as well as Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.

The villa, which lies in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, can be yours
for 37 million euros (48.8 million dollars).
