Chanel Couture SS13 - A Gothic Fairytale
Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Karl Lagerfeld filled the Grand Palais with a forest of
trees for the SS13 Couture show in Paris.
The collection was eclectic. Black dresses were heavily
embellished with layer upon layer of texture, while white tweed dresses and twin
sets drew attention to the shoulders, Lagerfeld framed them with stole like
capes adding an extra dimension. The beauty
look albeit not conventionally beautiful was definitely striking. Feather
fascinators were worn in the side of a tussled hair-up style, with one stark
gothic smoky eye, adding drama and impact to the collection.
The emphasis on the shoulders continued throughout the collection,
with off-the-shoulder dresses left bare or covered with lace.
Peep toe boots were worn with each look as lace or skin-tight silver leather followed the line of the whole leg or skimmed the ankle.
The colour came in a set of dresses in red, black and
white sequins adorned with flower motifs.
A uniformed theme throughout SS13 couture is the idea of
nature, with trees seen at Dior and Nicholas Oakwell including Chanel.
Lagerfeld presented a mythical and mysterious collection with models reminiscent
of ethereal fairies. I loved!
