Watch Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel in Karl Lagerfeld’s New Short Film

Karl Lagerfeld’s period film Once Upon a Time, which stars Keira Knightley as Coco Chanel, is finally here–all 15 glorious minutes of it.

Fantasy Dressing the Met Ball Guests

PARIS–Donatella Versace could not have chosen a more appropriate locale for her Atelier Versace show.

She presented her spring couture collection at Le Centorial, a turn of the century restored building in the Bourse area of Paris which was, at the time of its construction in 1876, a revoluationary architectural project built by Gustave Eiffel’s firm.
