Legend has it that the camellia first became Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel’s obsession in 1913 when she pinned one to her belt — seduced, the house said, by its “simplicity, shape, purity and vitality.”

This year, Paris Fashion Week has been on our radar for many reasons — not all positive and not all about fashion — but Chanel continues their legacy of being a brand that is focused on fashion.
