Love the Coco Chanel rag dolls and the white eyelet paper trees but don't love the clothes. C'mon Karl, you can design better than that!

Richard; you are - after all - a man.... it's probably better you won't wear the Chanel clothes... :)
I love, LOVE, L.O,V.E. these windows and I only regret that I won't have the time and opportunity to come to Paris for some hours of sight seeing.... So thank you especially for doing the window-shopping and lèche-vitrine for me!!! Much obliged!
HAPPY DAYS and a beautiful, tasteful, happy and succesful New Year 2011. Que de belles choses pour toi!

Dear Richard,
I agree with you! I love the rag dolls and would buy one as a collectible, but I think the clothes look like something from Bolton's! For quite a few years now, Chanel's collections have been very sub-par. They are no longer being made with the same care and elegant finishing. Mademoiselle must be turning in her grave.
On the other hand, the windows at Hermes are absolutely glorious and creative! It is an over-abundance of eye candy!
Wishing you and Vincent the most glorious holidays and the best ever in the New Year! I can't wait for tomorrow's installment from you.
