There are only few small details I liked in this collection. I´m not the biggest fan of Karl, but this is hideous. Someone said some clothes are like marshmallows and I totally agree. What`s with me, I never like Chanel..

Very Beautiful!! Isn't a great collection...but I love Karl...

 

[Boomer]

As usual, after studying the HQs, I like it much better, now that I can see the details and all... I doubt it will ever be one of my all time favorite shows, but it is better than I first thought- even the jade green is growing on me!

when someone told me there was going to be green in the collection.. i was really discouraged. but now that i see it.. i realize what a beautifully soft shade it is. i am in love with this!! especially because there is no trace of 80's!!

Chanel -- Fine and dandy
Published: March 10, 2009

PARIS: 'I've gone chic," said Kate Moss, patting her new platinum blonde hair and her trim jacket above wide satin pants, while her fellow blonde, Claudia Schiffer, was in a classic satin blouse and slim skirt.

The Chanel show they had just seen defied definition. Upbeat, with a tonic of frivolity in the shape of removable, flowery white arm cuffs and fluffy knitwear, it was played out in black and white - except for injections of sugar pink and jade green.

Backstage, Karl Lagerfeld called it "Belle Brummel," referring to the English dandy Beau Brummel, who was mad for decorative frou frou. So was the designer, sending out Coco hats, geometric Art Deco-style jewelry and models with eyes outlined in sparkling silver.

The show had high points, but a lack of focus, although for Lagerfeld himself, there seemed to be a heavy concentration on product. Even the set was made of white boxes with black lacquered interiors that looked like the entrance to a chic Chanel store.

In the pell-mell presentation, some things stood out: No logos at all, except on a transparent plastic tote that framed the iconic Chanel quilted bag like a picture. There was a new collection of jade jewelry, that also came as a ring on a shoe heel. (The pale green looked less appealing as the color of a pair of pants.)

Fondant pink was more questionable at a moment when sobriety, not frivolity, is on message. And the wooly pink bed jackets and all-in-one jump suits were just weird - as though Chanel were courting a mythical teen client. By contrast, a satchel worn on the back looked cute.

The core of the collection was inked clearly in black and white: slim coat dresses or suits, finely tailored. Although there was jade woven into a Chanel check for an accent on the pocket, the day wear was streamlined - or would be once the cuffs and ruffles were slipped off.

In this financial maelstrom, Lagerfeld's task was to bring rigor back to Chanel without bringing rigor mortis to the same old suits. He did it effectively, perhaps using his head rather than his heart, as he had done in the exceptional January couture show. That was when cut-out paper hats inserted a lightness and had the freshness of a blank page turning.

In the show Tuesday, the scissored necklets and cuffs, with raw edges to the fabric, were a more practical version of the paper decoration. But fashion pages are not turned twice in six weeks. And this was just a nice Chanel show without the emotion that made the couture so special.

what are those shinny black stockings made of?

 

[sweetpop]

........ hm.. there were nice peices, but I must admit, Jessica Stam's nearly completely green peice came as a bit of a shock to me. I'm thinking the Green Tweed would look good on a few people, but definitely not for everyone. I wasn't quite sure what to think of the bather-and legging type piece Anja was wearing, with the exception of Anja having very nice legs, the top seemed bulky and a bit shapless. I'd like the leggings by itself though, they're fantastic What can I say about the other peices? Well, it still firmly sticks within Chanel- chic, strong and feminine. B) Me likely, especially the boater like hats!

I feel like I should really love this collection but I don't. The details are gorgeous but I don't like how everything looks as a whole.

Beau Brummel introduced a simpler way for men to dress, one that lead directly to dark suits. Before him men got to wear colours, knee breeches and lace cuffs.

wikipedia: He established the mode of men wearing understated, but fitted, beautifully cut clothes including dark suits and full length trousers, adorned with an elaborately-knotted cravat.[1] Beau Brummell is credited with introducing and establishing as fashion the modern man's suit, worn with a tie.

Yeah, I almost wrote to that writer- She was completely wrong on Beau- and you would think a fashion writer would know enough about the history of maybe the most influential man in fashion history before saying he dressed the opposite way...I think most everyday people think of lace and garish dress when he is mentioned, but as you say, it is anything but the real story...
