Karl the Kaiser wanted to explore the unknown in this season’s Chanel collection… so he went to SPACE! What a fabulous idea since most of us want to leave the Earth due to dumbasses running the world. GENIUS! Anywho, the clothes were very galactic-gals-who- lunch-on-freeze-dried-salad. My fave outfit has to be …

British artist Laura Keeble took original antique church windows and transformed them into prominent, commercial items, like a Starbucks cup and a Coke bottle, to name a few.
