If you have a fashionable friend who is going through medical treatment, these pretty band-aids from Cynthia Rowley offer some supportive bling. According to the NY Times: Cynthia Rowley has been busy jazzing up one unseemly necessity after another. Now comes something everyone could use: 14 fashion-friendly Band-Aid designs, created [...] This video shot inside Chanel’s private apartment above her Rue Cambon boutique is better than most I’ve seen, there are some really cool shots of the objects inside and its fascinating to see how these things influenced her designs.
And this is a two part French interview from 1969; this was only two years before her death and she is quite elderly (age [...]
