Chanel Shock
Yes! It’s Monday and Paris is alive! I had so much shopping today… Colette, Celine, Dior and CHANEL! Chanel really got whole Saint Honore! First of all the Re Cambon where Coco got her studio, they got these beautiful runway sandals with black panels on wedge! Beautiful! I should say, the clothes are mind blowing- perfectly crafted, amazing colours! The best was the red bubble top!
And Lena go them of course! Inspired with Japanese getto sandals, they are mixed with Parisian chic. Chanel opened two great pop stores on Saint Honore. First had only the most exclusive shoes- trainers with hand made black flowers, getto sandals, Resort gold tomboys and beautiful heels. It was quite minimalistic full of gold and black. But the best where the glass boxes that were privte wardrobes for shoes! And inside? More boxes of shoes!
The second pop up was connected to cosmetics- the latest make ups and creams by Dior. There were some exclusives that are only available in this shop- but the best was the window of the shop!
And the buy from Chanel number two- sneakers from black leather with hand made flowers!
Globe Trotter. Chanel AW13
“I’ve got my feet on the ground, but this collection is up-to-earth, not down-to-earth.” said Karl Lagerfeld about his recent Chanel collection that was presented this morning traditionally in Grand Palais, Paris. As always Karl, made us all stunned before the collection- a huge Earth globe and around a massive grey carpet with continents on it. As always, shocking!
Lagerfeld thought this time about luxury travelling- silk, gold, silver, but still it should be comfortable and useful. So the collection was like! The new muse Ashleigh Good opened the collection in a revisted tweed jacket, with glam punk boots and a cool bag. And when I saw the hats… So great! These were like fake hair, made from fur, in pink and blue colour.
The show was full of signature colours by Chanel- indigo, black and grey. And do you remember this clutch box for 17’000€ with Chanel logo from SS season? It’s back! But now in warmer, knitted version. And I really loved all knits! Karl Lagerfeld always keep them elegant and cool.
Loved also all golden ornaments on tops. It was like a small reminder of Chanel’s trip to Bombay! And of course black and white flowers. Without them, there is no Chanel!
The end was full of gowns and Stella Tennant. Black evening gowns were mixed up with punk like styled pearl bracelets. And the boots I wrote about before. Chanel, is as always ruling, but for me definetly not best. And what’s always good about Chanel is that it’s always changing, never stays the same. And that’s thanks to genius of Karl Lagerfeld, who by the way opened his first boutique of his label “Karl”!
What’s Hot (1.3.13)
Chanel Pre-Fall 2013
Karl Lagerfeld presented Chanel’s annual Métier d’Arts (or pre-fall) collection at a drafty old castle in Scotland last night. And by drafty and old, we mean extremely so: Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots in 1542, is now partially roofless, and there were snow flurries during the show. (To keep people from getting blue-lipped and shivery — not chic — Chanel constructed a temporary wooden canopy over the audience and put lap blankets at every seat.) Meanwhile, there were crackling fires in what looked like large metal trash cans, and tunic-wearing waiters served whiskey and smoked salmon.
The collection itself featured a lot of woolly scarves, tartan, plaid, and medieval-looking puffy sleeves. Lagerfeld’s godson, 4-year-old Hudson Kroenig, made a smashing runway appearance in adorable plaid pants, a matching kilt, and patent leather shoes with jeweled buckles (oh, and his father, Brad, looked cute, too). Models wore elaborate hair ornaments crafted from feathers and what resembled a head of garlic, and Lagerfeld took his bow with his perennial favorite Stella Tennant.
