Chanel Couture.

Ever since watching Matt Tyrnauer's Valentino documentary, I've become increasingly obsessed the intricacies behind creating haute couture.

Each Valentino ruffle, sequin and dress was hand-sewn by a team of seamstresses in Rome -- not one stitch was done by machine.

This made me respect couture at a much more exponential level than before, the very reason why I can't stop looking at these Chanel creations from the recent haute couture show in Paris.

I'm about to run into a preview for the new Sephora store here in town, so will report back shortly.

In the meantime, look and dream.
