Chanel puts on the most incredible productions for their haute couture shows. This one, in the Grand Palais, featured a giant gold lion resting his paw on a pearl, which doubled as the entrance for the models. The collection was super classy, very elegant, with beautiful, structured tailoring. I loved the amazing rounded raglan sleeves, and the evening pieces, which show off the tehcniques of the ateliers and the Karl Lagerfeld’s incredible talent as a designer.
I love…
the way the top comes away from the skirt at the waist of this coat, and the beautifully rounded, narrow raglan sleeve.
that Karl has gotten rid of the hideous fake fur and brought back the real stuff!
this lovely silhouette and the perfect little gathers at the waist and on the sleeves.
more beautiful tailoring, this time slightly deconstructed.
embroidery to die for.
a dramatic evening dress worn mid calf and with slouchy boots.
the fact that this feels traditional, folksy, and space age all at the same time.
