The fashion houses have so many seasons now that it's becoming harder and harder to distinguish one from the next, as one show is ending and another has almost begun.  While there used to be just two collections a year for Chanel which included Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter, there are as many as six collections a year now which I will delve deeper into the details of in my next BLOG post.  For now, let's focus on Cruise.The idea of the Cruise is quite literal as Coco Chanel wanted to …
