>> INSIDER WIRE —Chanel's Spring 2009 couture collection doesn't debut until tomorrow morning, but Cathy Horyn went by the atelier and has a few hints about what we can expect to see.  Freja Beha Erichsen has been chosen as the couture bride, and will wear a pants ensemble with white paper headdress and a train "that swept across half the studio floor."  Everything in the collection is white, or black and white, and centers around Karl Lagerfeld's favorite thing — paper (even though he apparently had a Kindle on his desk). The silhouette is "as modern as can be — short and trim — with a sharpness to the lines that evokes cut paper."  And the girls will be decorated with flowers, hair ornaments, and little caps, all made out of paper.
