I know how you feel Yael.
I loved the bathing suits, sleek, sexy and graceful. Karl Lagerfeld truly channeled Coco Chanel’s sense of style by creating a line that pays respect to an earlier time in fashion. The bikini bottoms were straight out of the 60s and were nothing like I’ve seen out of the [...]
