Chanel Haute Couture – Fall 2010 Video
Video is in for the Chanel Haute Couture – Fall 2010 collection. Now I can see the Lion in full effect. It’s a very mature Chanel collection. The ladies that can afford it are happy I’m sure. The set is killer. I love Chanel for always going over the top. Freja’s final look is amazing.
Chanel Haute Couture – Fall 2010
The Chanel Fall 2010 Haute Couture was a suit lovers paradise. Only a few pieces caught my eye but the main star was the Lion. Coco Chanel was a Leo so Karl when with it. images: style.com, daylife.com
Chanel Cruise 2011 Video
You saw the Remember Now Chanel Cruise 2011 video now see the video of the Cruise fashion show. What a spectacle it is. Perfect setting for a cruise collection fashion show. I also enjoyed this short film focusing on the accessories and details of the collection.
i want: Chanel Fall 2010 – 2011 Ice Cube Handbags
I rediscovered the Chanel Fall 2010 – 2011 ice-cube bags because of a series called Object Fetish on the site Showstudio.com. Examining key pieces from next seasons international collections, Object Fetish trains obsessive attention onto next seasons not-so-obscure objects of desire – namely the choicest accessories from fashions favourite names, metaphorically unpicked through film and text. The series is quite good and I love the in-depth discussion around the objects. View the Object Fetish: Chanel Handbag video. Edit: I found the video on YouTube This show was so overwhelming with the glacier and the faux fur all over the place. I didn’t notice any of the accessories. The video really worked up my handbag lust. I love the idea of these bags. They make me laugh because they are so ridiculous, but at the same time I’d love to own one. I enjoy that combination of absurdity and lust. I can’t wait to see these in the stores. I learned some interesting facts from the Showstudio video about Chanel. Chanel is one of the very …
Remember Now – Chanel Cruise 2011 Full Video
Remember Now, the short film by Karl Lagerfeld for the Chanel Cruise 2011 collection looked slick and the clothes were oh so pretty but it was empty. It was a 16 minute short film that didn’t evoke an emotional reaction from me that wasn’t related to clothing. That’s too bad. The film nerd in me can’t deal with the stupid continuity issues either. I liked having all this media to consume from Chanel about the cruise 2011 collection. It’s always some grand spectacle to take a gawk at. The collection photos are up already and I’m loving about a quarter of the collection and going WTF for a quarter of it. The rest is meh. There are 80+ LOOKS!!! The first 8 looks put me in a good mood and then it when up and down. Some of the white and black stuff I liked and most of the 70s stuff I wasn’t a fan of. WWD has the full collection posted and you can see it on The Fashion Spot. I can’t wait for …
Remember Now – Chanel Cruise 2011
I’ve totally bought into Remember Now, the short film by Karl Lagerfeld for the Chanel Cruise 2011 collection. The video does look pretty slick and inviting. I can’t wait to see the whole film. EDIT: the preview video was taken down but see this post for the full video.
Chanel Rouge Coco Launch at Holt Renfrew
I saw something pretty cool at the Chanel Rouge Coco Launch at Holt Renfrew. CHANEL introduces a modern interpretation of classic creme lip colour as an homage to the rich life and legacy of ‘Coco’ Chanel. New lightweight lip colour glides on for easy application, and features a Hydratendre complex to help soften, soothe and condition lips – even boosting their ability to hold in moisture – for a plumper, smoother and healthier-looking appearance. A range of wearable shades with full-coverage finishes, from matte to pearl to soft shimmer So Chanel was launching this new lipstick line called Chanel Rouge Coco. Part of the festivities was an artist who was painting with Rouge Coco lipstick. It was amazing. I didn’t try out Rouge Coco. I’m a little intrigued though, perhaps I can find a red lipstick that works for me.
Chanel Couture Spring 2010
I enjoyed Chanel’s Spring 2010 couture show even though I disliked the hair. It was nice to see Karl move to a softer colour palette in the pastels and silver. According to style.com, this is the first Karl has shown Chanel without black, navy or gold buttons. It was all very ladylike with the contrast of the silver rococo heel booties. The Chanel suits were my favourite pieces. I mentioned disliking the hair. Too much Bride of Frankenstein for me, however I do appreciate the technique and effort put into it. It’s quite astonishing to see the intricacies of the back. images: style.com
