Nicolas Ghesquiere will show his first collection for Louis Vuitton on March. So that means, that the pre-fall collection was designed by LV’s studio which smartly continued Marc Jacobs legacy and at the same time cleared some space for Ghesqiere- the collection can be defined with one word- chic. The casuality of this collection makes you want to wear it all now! The effortless style kept in these dresses and outfits is so tres chic…
Everything that happens in Dallas, is big. Just as Chanel. The capital of Texas state in USA inspired so much Karl Lagerfeld, that his Metiers d’Art collection for Pre-Fall literally took place in one of the Rodeo barns. It’s been a mutually beneficial match since way back in 1957, when Neiman Marcus’ Stanley Marcus, having embraced Coco Chanel’s 1954 comeback collection even as the French rejected it, gave Chanel the store’s Award for Distinguished Service in the field of fashion.
Saskia de Brauw… Fantastic!
I want this men poncho, now.
In reality, 900 people came to the “Fair Park, home of the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition and a National Historic Landmark” in Dallas city to see what Karl prepared for us. In American-English I would simply write: Oh gosh. This was amazing! And now normally- Yes. It was amazing. The Chanel collection for Fall was full of ponchos, chunky knitwear, cowboy hats and Rodeo chic (obviously). It seems that for Karl, fashion at Chanel is not a show after show, but it’s always a whole performance! Models phreshed down the runway in beautiful clothes, all in warm colours… Models like Erin Wasson (who is natively from Texas!) and Stella Tennant looked ‘gorg’ in their mustang jackets and cowgirl prints! But the star of the evening was definitely Miss Caroline de Maigret who was an Indian bride, wearing a feather made bonnet and white outfit… This closing of the show said one thing- Coco would be proud!
Stella Tennant and Caroline de Maigret… So Dallas!
This outfit at Jamie Bochert is the most beautiful of all in this collection!
Prabal Gurung is a dress man. He knows how to make women happy in a dress… and not in a dress. This sophisticated Pre-Fall 2014 collection was full of edge, sharp lines and colours- it’s for a strong women full of creatvity and attitude. First looks kept in black-white-grey look casual and elegant, and the last ones- red-carpert-gala-like, although it has something fun in it. And I really love the colours- pink and blue by PG looks mind-blowing!
The Pre-Fall 2014 collection of Gucci was a classical, colourful presentation of comfortable clothes like duffel coats, elegant dresses and shirling jackets. Frida Gianini definitely made this collection chic with all these marine stripes and cute flower prints, combining modernity with simplicity. These great mini dresses look great for a big event and for a cozy lunch with your friends- this is what the Gucci woman for Fall looks like. Always efortless. And she simply can’t forget her timeless loafers!
Phoebe Philo debuted sport-shoes for her SS14 collection. Her LOVE LIFE sneakers are so… AMAZING! Love it too bad. Definitely, when these will hit the stores, everybody will run to Celine. They look really comfortable and easy to wear on the go- they will match a dress, skinny jeans or even a midi skirt! And they are very Phoebe- the designer of Celine always wear sneakers!
