Image: Kirin Saeed stands to the right of a glass cabinet containing a 1926 Chanel Little Black Dress. There are long, light grey curtains behind them.

Kirin is smiling and holding a white cane in her right hand, with her left hand resting on her black, cross-body handbag at her left side. She's wearing a short-sleeved, mid-length black dress with black tights and baby pink ballet flat shows. She's also wearing two small pink bows clips hold her long hair away from her face.

The Chanel dress is in a square glass cabinet with a raised white floor. It is a straight body, mid-length dress with long, slim sleeves and three large chevrons on the middle front of the dress, meeting just below the navel area. Most of the dress appears a glossy black, with the chevrons appearing as a lighter grey colour.
