LOVE: V Magazine's Coverage of the Couture Shows

I am obsessed with these photos from V Magazine covering the Fall 2010 Couture shows.  I always love the backstage photos because you get to see a more interesting perspective than the shots from the show. There's a lot of pictures, so, I'm going to split the post into two parts.

Making of the lion in the Chanel Haute Couture 2010 Show

When I was in Paris I got to see the Grand Palais where Chanel had their infamous Couture fashion show with the lion and the Fall show with the iceberg.

I was pretty amazed at how they transformed the place for the fashion show.  Here's a video of the making of the lion and a picture of what the Grand Palais looks like when Karl Lagerfeld isn't showcasing his genius in it...

From this to..

Chanel Haute Couture 2010

Let me count the ways I love Karl Lagerfeld and his over the top shows.

First, I saw the clothes, then I saw the shoes, and I thought the collection was pretty great.  THEN I saw the great lion in the background and it felt good to know that Lagerfeld hadn't lost his touch from the Fall 2010 iceberg centerpiece show.
