HOLIDAY TOY DRIVE

December 2006

It's never to early to plan on how you'd like to help deserving children enjoy a joyous holiday season.

Please plan on joining us in our efforts to collect toys for children. 

FYI: SIGNE CHANEL

Step behind the scenes at one of the world's leading fashion houses and see a collection in the making.

Filmmaker Loic Prigent's fascinating, witty and infectiously joyous look within a leading fashion house focuses on the evolution of Chanel's Fall/Winter 2004-2005 collection. From Karl Lagerfeld's initial sketches and their first interpretation by veteran seamstresses to the climactic show as the models strut the catwalk, Signe Chanel presents a loving depiction of an enclosed, esoteric world.
