Chanel, London

We were wracking our brains trying to think of what this new scheme at Chanel reminded us of and we think it is a cross between Barbarella and Verner Panton, don't you think?  The schemes here are certainly getting better and better, although we are never keen on mannequins in hybridised positions, particularly with swinging handbags.  What we mean by that are figures which are placed in poses in which they were never designed to be which always makes them look rather awkward and rather odd.  Still, this is one of their better schemes even if we still don't like these pin headed sized mannequins.
