I say it every time, but everything looks so HEAVY. How did Karl get everything (well... most things) to look so LIGHT?
and the makeup, even in his dumbest numbers (and he did plenty of those), always flattered and elevated his models, they all look at their prettiest when walking for Chanel.
The girls here look almost haggard and like they all did their own makeup watching the same tutorial. The braids are also 100% a last-minute thought after seeing how windy it was going to be, probably done by the models themselves too lol.
I won't even comment on the clothes, there's nothing to rescue, but the overall image is an extreme opposite of the opulence Chanel is known for and just the premise of a conservative and old luxury brand, it always looked expensive under Karl, even the t-shirts... this just screams poverty, I mean,
this? and
this? forget the sundress, the little black dress, this gives a new meaning to the little sad dress, it's not giving south of France, more like hanging out by a contaminated lake at 19 degrees somewhere in the Urals.
