The following text I had to write for school and I thought I could post it as well.
(And sorry for the line above. Don't know why.)
Chanel A/W 09/10
The Chanel tradition is proceeding. According to the current collection Karl Lagerfeld said: “When I designed the collection for Chanel, I only was putting the notes of Coco together to a new composition.”
In that season Chanel presents very poised and charming versions of coat-dresses and skirt suits, which are graded up by feminine white collar and cuff treatments. There are frothy plissé ruffs, chiffon camellias, and frills encircled the neck or sleeves on soft, fitted black silhouettes.
It is a flourishing mix out of old-school pieces like the consistently recurring hats, the coats and jackets and edgy pieces like the jumpsuits and plastic-bags. Also the schoolbag builds a contrast to the classy style. The all-over jumpsuits with Africa-inspired pattern show the modern spirit Lagerfeld puts into the traditional Channel philosophy.
Lagerfeld worked with bouclé, lace, knit, satin, and sequins, while also swerving in the direction of the leather trend. That trend he interpreted in slim drop-waist dresses. His outstanding talent to combine exceptional things appears in the combination of filmy cloths with firm and classical jackets.
The colours pale green or baby pink are the decorating highlights in a range of overriding black and white designs. The jade Deco-style of pendants and neckpieces aerate in a refreshing way. That pale green can also be found in the jade rings implanted in several pairs of heels.
Finally I think the current winter collection is a felicitous effort bringing freshness to the house of Channel. Lagerfeld always creates a new and exciting composition of marvellous style. The pieces harmonise all together in an easy-going way. Great fashion!
