Chanel F/W 10.11 Paris

Cathy Horyn wrote that all fur was fake which I find to be just great. And there are some beauties out there, the knit dress on Iselin, the white one on Sigrid and the black frock on Coco, for example. Really like the jacket on Mirte. Looks like a solid Chanel collection so far.

I just read that Karl said it was an Ode to Global Warming. I LOVE that. So that iceberg was supposed to melt.

^ I really like that he used fake fur, but then again the fake fur trousers still look bad.
 
the fur trousers and fur boots kind of make me think of a polar-bear costume in the zoo...
of course the inspiration of this collection is polar-bear but I dont think is that kind of extreme to that costume
maybe the styling... if each of the item taken apart and back to each of the individual, there are some good pieces...

I'm pretty sure the shallow layer of water created by the melting ice was part of the plan....its not rocket science at the end of the day unless they adjusted the the venue with sub zero temperatures. In terms of the collection I quite like it although I agree some of the fur garments are 'interesting' to say the least.
 
Iceberg? From Sweden? What the actual ****?

This is stupid.
 
Omg, I can't believe how TERRIBLE this is. :shock: What a let down!!
 
I like that he used fake fur.. But the collection's not much. It's a pity cause the teaser photos were so cute but the whole collection was a letdown. Some pieces though are rather nice. (Like the one Siri's wearing!)
 
this is different... this is still chanel. but it would have been nice to make a clear reference to climate problems, but they choosed to focus on fur. and all that stuffs. disgusting ?
 
false fur are you sure ??? that could be great then, but it seems hard to believe...
 
What's a clearer reference to the climate change but a melting iceberg?

I agree, the messenger is strange and it doesn't have the haunting beauty of Alexander McQueen's SS09 show that dealt with similiar topics, but the message is important. I wish Chanel will try to contribute something on top of just getting an iceberg in the Grand Palais.
 
Aside from the fur pants and skirts(:yuk:), I think it's a decent collection.
 
I wonder what the carbon footprint is of bringing an iceberg to a Chanel show? This has the most ridiculous "awareness" show ever. The amount of energy he's using would be enough to power a small country.

Those fur clothes are disgustingly bad, And those fur boots are the footwear of choice of the UK Chavettes. But there are some nice clothes in the middle of this.
 
It's not the bad even if some looks are terribly a miss . There are some really nice pieces in there if you break it down !
 
i actually like it, i can see the idea behind the set, global warming, so is that really a huge block of ice ?
 
Faux Fur would add to the global warming problem, actually.:huh:
