With Lagerfeld at the top, Chanel tweed is post-apocalyptic
Even though it was a little less post-apocalyptic with the midday sun beating through the glass roof of the Grand Palais, one felt as if the lights have been for a few moments before.
Stage curtains open to reveal a modern, almost futuristic cityscape as a backdrop, and the message was clear: Mr. Lagerfeld envisioned a brave new world, so that the remains and traditions of the past, a vision that was to inform all about the future.
There was a certain uniformity, which came into the game with Lagerfeld sent his New Model Army. Hybrid caps boaters who sat in the back of the head and adds a touch of chic and subtle military, and short boots with heels, lace-up back and wide belts that sit on the hips, effectively passing round size in the process. To this end, there were military first few winks find khaki signature Chanel tweed suits, with Lagerfeld continue to develop innovative ways to use this traditional fabric. Tabard style plates are sometimes found on the front or back of the dresses even lend a touch of uniform. Layering was also evident in the collection, especially in skirts ultra-thin layers.
But while Lagerfeld Tweed can work in many different ways - as he often demonstrated in his 30 years at Chanel - this is his fantasy pieces that really breathtaking. Skirts with sequins flip square mirrors saw positive future disco, while confectionery black tulle with graphic highlights of silver were dark dreamer. Labor intensive origami square decorated the front and back of the tunic-style dresses and geometric elements came through the work tape space and prints.
Erin Wasson played the Mariee to the show, cream tweed coat dress tabard-front and tulle skirt, without a veil, but a start to finish half on the back of the jacket.
Once the models are lined up on the stage and in the last scene, it looked like shimmering guardian - some very stylish guardians of their new world.
The world of Armani is less brave, but also shimmering. Italian designer presents a polished collection of the rule that has been almost exclusively in the lighter shades created with the exception of a few pieces in black, dove gray from pale nude. While daywear showed its gently flowing and a large section of the jacket lines, it was the gown that will surely come to be worn on a red carpet by a young Hollywood. Focusing on pieces made of delicate lace, Valentino something, but to show, made a final action on the market, each suit was a series of dresses from an Emma Roberts, Dakota Fanning and Rooney Mara times that it is quite edgy on his Level Dragon Tattoo post. There was a hint of 1930s and 40s glamor, a touch of Gatsby with layers of pearl strands covering a corsage. Dresses had a single pearl sewn in layers of tulle tiered, while some other well-orchestrated applause of those present raised.
