poor horse  what a stupid idea! Yeah, I don't like the horse being used like this. I'm surprised no animal cruelty places have spoken up over it.

She came out with the designers in the end. The horse idea would have worked if the entire fashion show had been held in a horse arena. That would have been more comfortable for the horse and a novel setting for the show. I wonder why it was the other way around?

IIRC Dior did a show with horses in an arena a few years ago. I doubt Chanel wants to be seen as copying Dior

Had this been Hermes it would have made more sense . Hermes has been a saddle maker for far longer than a fashion house. They make a very good and expensive saddle as well as other equestrian accoutrements.

The film Prêt-à-Porter came to mind. The daughter of a princess is not enough, let's hit prime time with a horse on the catwalk.

Does Hermes have much association with the Grimaldis? I know Lagerfeld/Chanel has deep roots with the Monaco royals.

I saw there was an interview with her in the german "Sueddeutsche" a few days ago. Did anyone read it perhaps? She talked about reading and books, things I wouldn't have connected with her to be honest.

She does have a BA in philosophy from the Sorbonne, so she's not dumb. She just seems dumb.

She talked about reading and books, things I wouldn't have connected with her to be honest.  It's only free to read if you are a subscriber. Recently Charlotte has often talked about literature and her favorite books. Here are her recommendations and a film which appeard in "Vogue". And a couple of years ago she was seen to discuss philosophical issues . She is one of the few "intellectual" royals, as far as I know. https://www.chanel.com/gb...rlotte-casiraghi-library/

I actually think that Caroline is really clever, too. She did her A-levels with honours, studied at the Sorbonne and (as well as in a school in England, I think before her A-levels) and she is fluent in five languages. It is just that most of the reports dealt with her personal style, her friendship with Karl Lagerfeld (who was very clever, too, so I think they also connected on that level + the fashion level, and her unlucky marriages.
But I think Charlotte got a lot of intellectual input from her mom. She had excellent A-levels. And I think you have to be really good to get into the Sorbonne.

While I am not a big fan of what she is wearing, I find her very beautiful. This picture in particular:
