Chanel No.5 to Cover Musée d’Orsay

I love Paris in the winter. Its chill is a novelty (I am a Californian) and you can enjoy the snow without driving in it. In any case, one doesn’t visit Paris for the weather. The last time I was there with my daughter it was snowing like crazy and we ducked into a cozy cafe for chocolat chaud and she devoured a croissant as big as her head. It’s a wonderful memory. This January, the silhouette of Chanel No.5’s iconic bottle — made from 1,200 hand-assembled sequins — will decorate the exterior of Paris’ Musée d’Orsay from Jan. 6 to 28 covering 2,890 square feet of the museum’s exterior. I’d love to see this! Mais non, Paris je vais vous voir au printemps. That’s my wish for 2011. Wishing all your dreams come true in the new year! WWD
