One thing that is constant beside all that ingenious inspiration is that the Haute Couture in the house of Chanel is never too over dramatic and too over exaggerated. Just like the vision of the style of the Gabrielle Coco Chanel was. The clothes need to be effortless, cool and contemporary without being too controversial. In this collection, the inspiration was Paris, the city of love and light, the city of fashion.
There were the traditional tweed textures which in this collection were much sculpted and bulky. And one innovation, the cuts on the sides, on the sleeves, on the rocks, the dresses. Seems like this detail was not just the highlight and the all-around motive but it was also a huge indicator of the new aesthetic in Chanel. These cuts made out of the zips bring the note of unfinished or if you prefer more, the light deconstruction. You can play with the length, you can zip it totally and have the pure voluminous touch, or go totally unzipped and have the modern and almost rock-chic kind of touch to this whole Couture story.
The spectacular was the chiffon dresses with the embellished two-parts underneath. With the effortless elegance which discovers the other side of the see-through game, these dresses were the spin on the typical Chanel design. Little more edge, little more drama which was rounded with the wedding dress in the pistachio green. The same form and cut with the sharp pointy fascinator and chiffon across the model´s face. This look sums up this whole collection! Reversing the tradition, making it edgy, playful and contemporary perfect! Karl Lagerfeld has succeeded to successfully tell a new fashion story!
What do you think about this collection? What is your thought about the constant inspiration drive by Karl Lagerfeld? Which ensemble do you like the most?
