Chanel Spring 2011

It was big named supers like Inès de la Fressange, Stella Tennant and Carmen Kass walking through a minimal black and white Chanel Garden Maze donning gradient feathers, chokers, platforms, chiffon bundles of joys and signature tweeds for Spring 2011. Each look resulted in my drooling. The collection was very romantic, fresh, young and modern; the thigh-high leather platforms and Lagerfeld signature fingerless gloves gave it the needed edge. There were bedazzling knits, poppy florals, embroided denim, and exquisite tweeds resulting in fringe. I lived for those 1950's inspired skirts and gowns. There also was a sexy revision of the classic Chanel tweed suits from a light cropped tweed blazer paired with a micro mini skirt and/or cute matching short shorts. The reinvention of the large black umbrella that resemble a sun hat was so Parisian, cute and clever. Karl Lagerfeld played with tailoring, structure and cut in allot of his pieces for Chanel this season which I find to be quit admirable. Details, details, details and more details was definitely the focus. From Chanel, we've seen that hair jewelry is a must, there is no such thing as over accessorizing and I'm so glad that the fingerless gloves are back!
