woah, the collection looks amazing!! Karl never fails to impress me, he's such a genius!

looking forward to this!

Hmm a little bit too Paris-Moscou, I think. Hopefully the rest of the looks will change that though?

 

[karinelena]

hmm not bad at all.

It looks kinda depressing.

maybe ,but at least there's no yeti this year ( so far)

I think that KL did a pretty good job adapting the Chanel look to the Byzantine theme. My favorites were:

I especially like the relaxed, bohemian luxury of the first two looks. I am not trying to discuss models but if you don't feel like clicking the links they are the looks on ---> Baptiste, Freja and Natasha.

I did not like any of the looks on posts 6 and 7.

ETA:
Are these all of the looks from the collection?

I'm loving the intimate setting. Am waiting for better images.

What is it with Chanel and ugly shoes?!

The internet's being pretty terrible about getting pictures up... This is the worst part of the Métiers d'Art collection. Every year, thousands of page refreshes and hours of waiting...

all that gold and richness (bordering on ostentation) from the Byzantine art suits current Chanel quite well, gotta say.

Freja's coat is gorgeous... the whole look i love

Some of the pieces look really lovely already.

 

[marjanthelion]

I'm loving this! Especially the all black look in the first post. Btw, I'm head over heels for the hair and the hair pieces.
