Up until he died in 2019, Karl Lagerfeld was well known for creating pricey novelty handbags - including a grocery basket so expensive, you won't be able to afford anything else.
As part of Chanel's autumn/winter 2014 accessories collection, which was shown at Paris Fashion Week in March, he designed the shopping basket, which retailed for a staggering N5.5 million ($12,500).

The collection, which was shown in a Chanel-themed supermarket with shelves full of Chanel-branded food products, also included bags shaped like milk cartons with pearl-studded 'lait de Coco' branding, Daily Mail reports.
Made from brass and covered with calfskin, the basket reportedly has a resell value of N30 million ($68,000), according to Designer Community.

Reactions as 2 ladies model dissolving dresses
A while ago, the Hussein Chalayan x Swarovski Spring 2016 collection was unveiled at a fashion show which saw dissolvable clothes on display.
An online video showed two models standing still on the runway under a shower as water slowly dissolved parts of their clothes.
As the water touched them, the pieces of fabric gradually fell off their bodies to reveal the inner design. After it finished dissolving, the ladies proceeded to complete the walk.
