Chanel Fall 2008 RTW

A Chanel carousel fitted out with giant quilted bags, camellias, pearls, boaters, and bows faced the audience as it poured into the Grand Palais for the Fall Ready-to-wear show. It was a fitting metaphor for the timeless turning of the house classics, and for the unstoppable machine fashion has become these days. It was cool, how the setting of the carousel was made.. with big bags,shoes,accessories as the seat of the carousel. So Chanel, on how they decorate everything with a bright fluorescent lightning on the stage.
It was worth a second and third look because this was a collection that, in spite of its something-Chanel-for-everyone variety, also provided gimmick-free commentary on current trends. Lagerfeld didn’t miss a trick, from fragile, frothy, high-necked blouses to spidery knits, peplum jackets, and an intelligent exploration of how longer lengths might be worked into a winter wardrobe. It could be as a tweed maxi column skirt with a delicate blouse (the literal version), but also as a long, cutaway ostrich-trimmed coat over a short skirt (newer and cooler). His Fall 2008 ready to wear collection was great and it reflect towards on Coco chanel characteristics.





here are several design of Karl Lagerfeld and the decoration of the stage.. i hope you do like the carousel as i do.. :)
