The golden lion


 Location: Paris, Event : Fashion Shows of Chanel, Christian Dior, Valentino, Jean Paul Gaultier  
What impressed us was a 45 foot high gigantic golden lion statue that Karl Lagerfeld used  as a tribute to Coco Chanel's love of big cats. Highlights from his collection included classic tweed coats with fur.
John Galliano was extravagant as usual.No comment....
Valentino was influenced by imperial elegance for his collection.
