Chanel HC S/S 08 Paris

[Mr-Dale]

The pink suit on Denisa is splendid...I love the beeds and stuff on the collar and at the hem...very cute

 

[Starry]

I like Chanel HC this time! All the pieces are beautiful. Much better than last season's and of course much much better than the ready-to-wear collections Karl did for Chanel in recent seasons(Although maybe they can't be compared with each other...).

About the setting, I like it! Big tweed Chanel jacket? Very funny and I thought about the setting of S/S 06.

And I found the same thing: there aren't any heels in the show?

i've wanted to compile a list of my top three favorite looks - impossible, i just really love everything!!!!! i'm speechless. He's a genius, that's all i can say...

can anyone post the full collection?

 

[KI_egoiste]

am i the only one to find that giant jacket a bit tacky?

Nope. I think it's awful. As for the collection. Lovely as usual, but boring as usual. Some lady in the autumn of her life, however, would have a blast wearing these clothes.

Wow, it seems designers are going safer this season, Dior, Armani and now Chanel, but I don't mind, because I think it's really great and pretty. I'm not crazy about the set and I downright hate the use of flats, but the clothes themselves are nice. Oh and SNEJANAAAAA!!!!

can anyone post the full collection?

Emilia has already posted HQs on the previous page, i'm pretty sure that was the whole collection. no?

BEAUTIFUL! especially compared to usual. there is one beautiful pink dress that i cant remember who it was on
not overally keen on the actress bride, but other than that a gorgoeus collection (and i like the set )

 

[satin chic]

How beautiful! The puffy dresses, the feather, the short ensembles ...

 

[Chanelobsessed]

Honestly this collection is seriously stunning...I love it.

I don't have time to take a closer looks but first impressions -

The huge jacket is WOW at first but when you think about for a second....it's pretty disgusting. Secondly, I love that there is only flats, and they're beautiful! Looking forward of detail pictures...

 

[simple_elegance]

the only piece i like is the short green dress with the single strap. love the color.

that giant chanel jacket is rather terrifying. it's as though it's saying "look at me instead of the awful clothes that are trudging past below me."

i am checking this out from my ipod which is taking ages to load, but i couldnt wait till i get home tonight. the jacket is just another icone chanel surdimensione à la Charles Ray...karl seems to be a great fan of him, no?
grear collection!cant wait to see on big screen!!

Nope. Incredibly tacky.

 

[masquerade]

like most Chanel shows, its very hit and miss (Karl just can't edit). The miss stuff is ugly as usual, but the beautiful stuff is amazing. Some of those dresses are just fantastic. Definitely an improvement on the last two couture shows.

 

[klaxod pels]

Hmm . . . I'm really thrown off by the lack of heel. It does, however, make the collection seem a lot more down to earth (literally). It also has kind of a pixie vibe of sorts.

 

[espritDEcouture]

I like some of the collection and I agree with masquerade, it is very "hit and miss." I do love the cut and tiering and the embellishments. I like the innocence the flats portray although I'm not a big fan of them for these pieces.
As for the giant Chanel jacket prop, it is tacky but delightfully so.
I HATE the bride's piece. It is very Renaissance-y. And the color is much too bleak.

i've been so nervous for this collection. i am a big Chanel fan but the last few shows (f/w RTW 07-08 till london) has been very disappointing. but I'm happy to say that karl has made a come-back in my eyes. this collection is amazing. the clothes are classic Chanel with just enough HC elements, and drama, but yet it still wearable for any regular woman to wear.

The set is okay, i don't understand why they had to make it so huge. It's like the set is screaming "Chanel WILL take over the world!"

on a negative note though, some of the outfits desperately needed some heels. and there is a bit too much poof, here are there (like on the hips of the dress suvi is wearing, and the sleeves of both snejana's outfits.) and devon looks like a 12 year old queen in that dress. karl should had made it a little more slimming for her.

but over all i love it!
