Stunning Stones and Savoir-Faire – South Coast Plaza

The sun has set. Gabrielle Chanel leaves her couture house at 31 rue Cambon, and walks to her suite at the Ritz on Place Vendôme, almost as if this familiar landscape is already part of her future. As she comes up to the window, lighting a cigarette, who knows what she is looking at, what she is observing? Where on Place Vendôme she might rest her gaze, breathing in its air deeply as one might inhale the fragrance of a sprig of jasmine? Who knows where her mind wanders as the streetlamps are lit one by one around the stone octagon, tracing its perfect geometry, barely touched by the silhouettes of passers-by? Gabrielle puts out her cigarette, takes off her shoes, and casts her gaze around the familiar square.
