J’adore Chanel
I am pretty much over all the ‘Valentines gift ideas!’ emails that are clogging up my inbox (sorry PRs) – apart from this one. Chanel’s double C logo is one of my favourite luxury logos for its graphic simplicity. Legend has it that the lampposts of Westminster are adorned with interlocking Cs as a symbol of The Duke of Westminster’s love for Coco. Sweet!
While we’re on the subject, how clever is this pic by Raymond Meier for US Vogue, styled by Elissa ‘Elissa, your shoots always look the same’ Santissi*. Sheer brilliance!

Stop it you are making me want those clogs even more! Just when I resigned myself to the Russell & Bromley ones!

Simplicity chic, as ever from Chanel.

That shoot idea was a moment of genius! I've always noticed the double c's on the lampposts – that story is adorable, hope it's true!
