Actress Margaret Qualley is one of the rising stars of current Hollywood and, therefore, any appearance she makes on a red carpet gets people talking about her, especially if she appears wearing pieces that leave the audience speechless. This Thursday, Qualley attended the London premiere of the film The dog stars wearing footwear that left everyone speechless: soleless sandals from Chanel. These are shoes that appear unfinished because they only have the heel part, which ties to the foot with laces. In this way, half of the foot has no sole and, therefore, whoever wears them is almost barefoot. The heel bears the CC logo of Coco Chanel.

On December 2nd, an unusual scene unfolded at the Bowery subway station in New York City: a throng of women dressed head-to-toe in Chanel—one of the world's most exclusive brands—strolled along the platform. The New York subway, a cultural symbol and a universally accessible public service, is a space where more than three million people from diverse backgrounds coexist every day. But that night was no ordinary commute: it was the fashion show. Artistic Crafts, the annual event where the house It showcases the excellence of its artisan workshops. "The New York subway belongs to everyone," explained creative director Matthieu Blazy. A statement that many media outlets have been quick to interpret as a democratizing gesture seeking to reconnect with the supposed popular essence of its founder, Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel.
