the beauty of chanel.

The Paris couture shows were out in storm a couple of days ago. And to keep with my love of dusky and nude colours i found myself in love with the latest Chanel couture look, surprise surprise! Last spring Chanel couture i loved how Karl Lagerfeld transfered plain white into something texturally beautiful, with the whole of the looks inspired by folded paper he said "he'd cleared everything away and started with a clean sheet of paper.".

The whole time i was looking at the spring 10 and kept thinking to myself 'hmm is this better than last year?'

Spring/Summer 10

Spring/Summer 09

It seems more playful and more risk taking, and totally relates to the latest trends of cotton candy colours for spring, however gives the element of romanticism and space age. (not that i tend to follow trends but i do really like this one). It had alot of elements to it, with the metallic and the candy colours, jewel encrusted jackets, ruffles and raras, flower ponchos and original structured shapes, as much as i loved the textured flower, ruffle dresses i do really like the revamp of the classic Chanel skirt suit.

But then again, just looking at last years, can you really beat those exquisite paper-flower tiara constructions and reworked beautiful, graphical, textured silhouettes? A collection to truly treasure.
