Don't get me wrong. I love my life. But just once (well ok, maybe more than once), I would love to be in the front row of a Chanel runway show like this. And is this runway from the Chanel Couture 2009 show not amazing? Love all these white flowers everywhere, it's like a giant pop-up book! Beautiful.

According to Chanel's news page, the decor was made up of monochromatic arrangements of paper roses, daisies, leaves and petals that wound their way up and around the room's 32 columns and draped over the railings of the entryway staircase. There were 7000 handmade paper flowers made which took 4,800 hours to work and assemble. 4000 m2 of paper was used to create these. Stunning!
