A few days ago, The Haute Report was invited by Neiman Marcus to view A Special Collection of Chanel High Jewelry.
When I first walked in the store, I was more than smittened by the Chanel Boutique that had been set up for the viewing. I know, only partially shown here, right? Maybe a different angle for the entire display… hmmm…
Moving along…
The White and Gold was definitely on point for the showing of the classical and timeless of the Chanel High Jewelry Collections!
Can you say High Fashion and High Jewelry at its finest!?!??!
Even the mannequins on display were adorned with eyes of the famous "CC" logo in them for the luxurious collection.
Every inch of the Chanel Jewelry Boutique was jaw-dropping!
Viewings are available at Neiman Marcus Houston Galleria October 29th to November 8th, 10am to 5pm. So, from now until Saturday on Level Two.
All things fabulous at Neiman Marcus comes with some tasty horderves and cocktails. Which in turn means - Get up! Get dressed! And, let's get together over some Chanel!
The Boutique filled with Chanel lovers and their love of the timeless brand.
From the bags to the shoes, to the classic apparel and jewelry, the crowd definitely brought their Chanel A-game out!
Fun fact: In 1957, CoCo Chanel was awarded the Neiman Marcus Fashion Award. So there's really no surprise that Chanel always has an available room at Neiman's.
"As early as 1915, Harper's Bazaar raved over Chanel's design: "The woman who hasn't at least one Chanel is hopelessly out of fashion" - which is still true to this day.
For the first time, a rare chance to see this one-of-a-kind exhibit of 57 gorgeous pieces in diamonds and other marvelous stones at Neiman Marcus that are dedicated to the glamour of CoCo Chanel.
Some of the pieces on display are a direct reflection of Mademoiselle herself, and the jewelry she adorned.
Before, one could only imagine what her personal collection of jewels must have looked like in her apartment back in the 30's above the Couture House at 31 Rue de Cambon.
But I think we all got a good idea when Chanel raided her own jewelry vault and launched a House of Chanel jewelry line.

I could sit and ooh ahh all day over the collections but it won't be the same until I own a few pieces myself HA! All in all, The Haute Report was floored, in complete awe! The only word I really used to describe the collections that night - BEAUTIFUL in the rarest form! Then again, how do you describe something that is sooo indescribable???
