Chanel's Metier d'Arts Show in Paris


Lagerfeld presents Chanel's Spring 2011 collection in a chillin' room - transforming the second -floor of Rue Cambon store - couture salon into a chilled out fashion show. The venue walls was entirely embroidered in tiny bronze sequins and the room was filled with low stained glass tables with two rows of pattern square pillows where he seated his 136 fashion audience seeming very low-key.



The season's theme was Paris-Byzance, inspired by the Empress Theodora and the lost culture of Byzantium – the 5th century with 60’s London – the collection included swingy navy peacoats trimmed with exquisite small jeweled buttons, squared-heeled boots, black leather gloves, quilted handbags encrusted with big glittery stones, filigree headbands, multicoloured knits with gold thread, embroidered fringe, with chunky gold knitted right in. The evening wear was filled with heavy jewel-tone satin with even heavier swaths of mosaic embroidery.


I must say Lagerfeld always takes his creativity to another level. You just have to love him for his creativity and designs. I’m always looking forward to seeing what’s next when it comes to the Chanel collections and fashion shows.
