Ahhhh, Chanel always delivers and Karl Lagerfeld made sure that the fashion house's Spring 2014 Couture Collection was no exception. Lagerfeld described his set, complete with double staircase and snow capsule, as an "ice palace - a nightclub on another planet" and the clothing fit right in. The models we cloaked in fun, refreshing clothes that still had the classic Chanel touch with tweed, perfect tailoring and a hint of rebelliousness.
A study in irony the models came sprinting, skipping and spinning down the stairways in couture sneakers (that are probably going to cost upwards of $5k to own a pair) while strapped into corsets. Yes, corsets, the very thing that Coco is known for shunning. The textured a-line skirts and oversized tops could have easily swallowed the dainty frames but the corsets gave the models tiny waists and instead of being unflattering the looks became some of my favorites of any collection and would look great on almost anyone. The glittery snow fairy vibe was echoed in the styling as well - in the interest of keeping things young the hair was something of the punk rock era and the heavy black liner on top was balanced with the whimsy of different sized glitter under the bottom lash line.
Chanel has always been one of my favorites - how could they not be with this gorgeous collection?
