We raise our glass to Coco Chanel, who was born on this day 128 years ago in France. You can celebrate the designer’s birthday by picking up Chanel N°19 Poudré–a reimagining of Coco’s signature scent, named after her birthday and specially released today at Saks to commemorate the designer.
Do you love models? Do you take pride in your thorough skin care regiment? Have you perfected that carefree-yet-so-chic French style? Whatever you’re into, our career center has the perfect job or internship waiting just for you!

3. Cecilia, are you sure that Mood has yellow lighting? Sure it can be a bit dark in its weirder corners (aka: home to all the neon faux fur), but yellow is not the way I’d describe it. Perhaps you should see an ophthalmologist, you may be colorblind.
4. Viktor’s using muslin?! There’s real design procedure going on?! oh wait…here comes the glue…
5. Nina, how can we get a hold of your Preen shirt? And how does it look better on you than it did on the runway? That almost never happens.
