Couture





Karl Lagerfeld outdoes himself yet again. The Chanel collection was spectacular. it was much simpler and less oriental than the previous few season, however he clearly understands the Chanel woman and all her associated needs. That's the thing about Chanel. It's more often than not a need rather than a want. There are complete devotees to the tailoring techniques so famously established by the namesake of this brand. Well done Mr Lagerfeld for taking the formula and creating something new every season.
Ricardo Tisci has on the other hand continued along the same path he first projected last couture season. Deconstructing the bones of x-rays, his Gothic like gowns eerily convince the audience that they the internal structure of the human body in the most intricate and feminine of ways. Photographed from the front and then from the back, it's like you're seeing straight through. Creative, non?
