Socialite, 95, Collapses at Fashion Show and Dies →
Zelda Kaplan was known for her presence on the arts scene and at parties, and was profiled in a 2004 documentary. Zelda inspired me.  When going out with her to a club a year or so ago… I remember that at 4-am!  I asked her if she was ready to go home, she said: “no way, I’m having fun… “. The next day I called her to make sure she got home alright, she told me the a...

This CHANEL motion spot is fantastic - great work.  I downloaded the spot from an internet ad on the front page of the New York Times.  It was also used as a touch motion spot for the i-pad and mobile.  This is the future.  Still life that comes alive with the touch of your finger… How amazing is that!
