Call it good taste; call it down right good old fashioned greed. All I know is that when I saw the latest cold weather accessories from Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2007 Sport Collection, I just about died. Now what is more luxurious than Chanel fur earmuffs? I like these especially since the design has sort of a cool architectual aesthetic to it, like marble and steel, but soft and cuddly.Ah ma gawd, I’m in love.$850 Chanel Boutiques

Miss Van just opened a new gallery show this past weekend in Paris called Atame at the Galerie Magda Danysz. Her work features her lovely ladies interacting in nature with the likes of foxes, owls, birds and other furry friends. There has always been something a bit dark about her characters - they know they’re taunting you with their long eyelashes and sultry pouts. Her latest works reveal something a bit darker, long hair overgrown and covering the eyes and almost encasing the body. It’s wonderful to see how an artist’s work matures and progresses and no matter what I see from Miss Van, I always love it. If you’re in Paris, this is a must see and the show runs through December 29th. If you won’t be in Paris, you can view the pieces online here and buy some prints here.Galerie Magda Danysz78, rue Amelot - Paris XITel. / fax : +33(0)1 45 83 38 51Images: Galerie Magda DanyszCheck out more pics after the jump . . . .

No, you weren’t that hungover at Thanksgiving.There was actually a silver Dunny drifting above the masses at the Macy’s Day Parade courtesy of American artist, Jeff Koons. The float is actually just a larger version of Koon’s piece, “Rabbit.”However, as New York times columnist Roberta Smith notes, not too many people in the crowd were interested in the work of art:“First of all, there was its metallic monochrome color, whereas most of its inflatable fellow travelers were medleys of bright colors and signature details. The truck-size version of Shrek, for example, just ahead of the Koons, had green skin, brown-and-red plaid pants and a goofy grin.And while shrieks of “Shrek!” greeted the homely giant, the “Rabbit” offered little to grab hold of, in terms of brand-name recognition. It had a shimmering astronaut-suit blankness that made it relatively abstract, a “thing in itself,” as the Minimalists liked to say, that was there just for the looking.”Silly artist, parades are for Snoopy and the Rockettes.Source
