Its nearly couture… which reminds me of this, my second season at Chanel. I’m about 19 I think... I’m still in flat shoes on the runway here, because I hadn’t mastered high heels to the point where I could do all the fancy moves and fully express my personality on the runway. I was so proud to be chosen by Karl to have this special moment, and to wear these clothes that were exquisitely made by the team of 50 people in Chanel’s workshop. The very talented Victorie de Castellane accessorized this look and Camille de Micheili still a high school student was interning at Chanel.
For me, I was living the fantasy of being a young mademoiselle in Paris like Audrey Hepburn in the movie the movie Funny Face
After this show, I spent every free moment in heels learning from the amazing Marpessa Hennink about runway modeling -and every moment after that teaching myself how to walk.
Practice and patience pays off
