The resort shows seem to be an opportunity for the brands to do something a bit unconventional. Chanel did theirs at Saint-Tropez’s famous Sénéquier, and the models arrived by speedboat. The casting was fantastic, the girls all look relaxed and like they were on holiday, exactly what you want from resort. Crystal Renn, the “plus size” model, walked the show, which seems to be an indicator that Karl Lagerfeld’s anti-plus size sentiments seem to be fading.
I Love…
that this collection felt breezy, summery, and effortless. I also like the fact that the girls are carrying their sandals. It is very beach.
the subtle retro influences throughout the collection. And the beautiful beaded foot jewelry.
a sunhat and the perfect summer day dress.
classy Chanel tailoring goes on holiday.
a beach wedding dress.
swimwear that is not meant to be worn while swimming.
I Loathe…
a lot of the denim in this collection. If Chanel does denim, it is going to be expensive, so it has got to be fabulous. This isn't very exciting or worth a high price tag.
anything that looks like Forever 21 on the Chanel catwalk.
thigh high boots for hot holidays.
a dodgy playsuit.
