Paris Fashion Week Spring 2008 Couture - CHANEL -
As most of you kne its Couture Fashion week in the Chic'est Fashion Capital PARIS right now. So thought id post some stuff regarding the clothes/desings that fashion houses are strutting off in the run way at the mo!
Starting off with my FAVVV Fashion House
*CHANEL*
The show it self was like under-the-sea ice princess full of whites, greys, blacks, silvers and peaches.
Short skirts came in many shapes, the most popular being the draped shell shaped skirts and the pleated ones.
Coats were thigh length with cropped sleeves and rounded collars. The look was soft but tailored with military style detailing.
All the models wore flat pumps in silver, black, white or black and white adding to the young look of the clothes.
There were plunging v-neck blazers with Parisian style brooches used as fasteners and sequins were used for sublte glamour.
A possible trend to replace last years leggings, was the skinny raw-edged crops worn on the knee with pretty long-length tops.
Chanel hit the trend for structured dresses perfectly with his strapless khaki dress, his silver sequined number with three tiered skirt and the strappy silver and white striped dress.
At the other extreme were the soft girly dresses with feathered edges in ivory and peach worn with sexy one shoulders or beautiful beaded details.
All the dresses were worn with sheer white or black tights.
The classic LBDs were modernised with draped skirts, bows, feathered edges and jewels. I adore the one pictured in the middle above!
The models wore their hair in dramatic updos with large quiffs and tiara style sequined bands.
Then came the gowns! There was the one shouldered, geometric shaped white gown that was cut mid-calf and the tiered black and white gown with stunning neckline.
But my favourites were the classic and glamorous black gowns.
