Chicago Collection - Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

The Chicago Collection magazine is a valued source to both longtime Chicago residents and visitors for the finest the city has to offer in the arts, shopping and dining and style. In the Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinksy feature as part of a story on trends related to summertime cinema, this season, we celebrate some of the year's most anticipated and stylish films with a selection of star-inspired designs that is worthy of the big screen.  So whether you long to capture the fashionable flavor of your favorite celebs or simply have a penchant for playing dress up, Nicole Briese at Trend, helps you get into character with spotlight-stealing apparel, accessories and products made for a leading lady. Coco Chanel is "often imitated but never duplicated," as they say, but her classically timeless style is certainly worthy of emulation. Elegant essentials like an Ann Taylor jacket or a dainty Alex Woo Little Letters necklace lay the foundation for the kind of wardrobe that's built to last.
