Not $40 cashmere sweaters you can find at Amazon or "cashmere-like" knitwear at Target, but the most luxurious, buttery soft, irresistible yarn imaginable. As a student at FIT, I was tasked with an assignment to compare fabrics across three different stores. Wandering through Bergdorf Goodman, I found myself alone in the Chanel boutique. It was my first Chanel experience, I've never had any feelings for Chanel, had absolutely no intention to buy anything, and in general felt like an imposter. There were racks of understated black, gray, and white clothes around me. And this is Chanel? I thought. But an assignment is an assignment, so I absently reached out to...
