The CHANEL Models: Off-Duty StreetStyle

  The backstage door is where it’s really at! Unfortunately I can’t be two places at once (when the MessyNessyChic empire grows, naturally, I’ll have photographers stationed at every post ) so when I had finished snapping the streetstyle at the front entrance of the CHANEL show (see previous post: The Good, the Bad and [...]
