Ff spent a delightful day at the Saatchi gallery this weekend, where fashion, art and Chanel have come together to form ‘The Little Black Jacket’.
Evil Clever genius Karl Lagerfeld put together a fabulous exhibition of portraits starring Hollywood elite all wearing the classic iconic design.
We. So. Want. One. Now.
Kaiser Karl’s sartorial subjects were styled by former Vogue Paris editor Carine Roitfeld, who also featured in the show and looks eerily like the legendary Coco.
But our favourite has to be actress Laetitia Casta (above). We are loving a veil at the moment.

You have until November 4th to catch the exhibition, where dapper men in black suits and Chanel brooches are giving away (yes, for free) lifesize posters.
You don’t get to chose who you take home… we got given a copy of model Georgia May Jagger.
But frankly, we wanted the mothership: Anna Wintour.
The solution?
Buy two copies of the ‘Little Black Jacket’ book from Amazon, one for your coffee table and one to hack into.
We don’t normally advocate the destruction of litterature here at Ff but for a bit of Chanel under £100, we are willing to make an exception.
Cut out the portraits you like, buy frames (ours are from Habitat) and there you have it: a Little Black Jacket exhibition in the comfort of your own home.
Here are some we made earlier…
