Share your thoughts on the... 2024 Met Gala
I quite like this, much better than the last Cruise collection that's for sure. But then again I tend to think Karl does some of his best work when he taps into the whole 20s/30s side of Chanel. For better or worse that's the era that defines the Chanel image, so it always just feels right. Plus it kind of forces Karl to hold back from his more baroque inclinations and the frou-frou prettiness that's become his go-to forumla. Tapping into the lean, clean, sinuous lines of that era seems to force him to concentrate more on line and drape rather than special effects.
Those red pieces, especially the long column dress, are knockouts.
A side note that kind of bugs me, in the style.com review, Sarah Mower seems to almost compliment Karl for putting on an extravagant show (It was gorgeous) and reminding people of the spectacle of the fashion show. Yet when other designers do it (that are perhaps not such big money advertising clients?) it is said to be out of touch with the recessionary times, or maybe taking away from the clothes? It bugs me that sometimes some designers can do no wrong!
