Blake Lively for Chanel adv

As we said for a long time and as I anticipated in the post about the adv campaign for spring / summer (here), here we are in front of reality. Many of us women will be jealous, but Blake Lively is the new star of the Chanel campaign, as well as undisputed muse of Karl Lagerfeld .. here are the shots!

Come si diceva da tempo e come io stessa vi avevo anticipato nel post riguardante le campagne pubblicitarie per la primavera/estate (qui), eccoci arrivati di fronte alla realtà. Molte tra noi donne saranno gelose, ma Blake Lively è la nuova protagonista della campagna Chanel, nonchè musa indiscussa di Karl Lagerfeld..ecco qui gli scatti!

First look at the haute couture (PARIS fashion week)

Parigi fashion week is started and I must talk about the first fashion shows!

I want to start from Armani, Chanel, Dior...and some others!

The haute couture always fascinates me because it seems so unreachable and unattainable. One of those things that you can look but you're afraid to touch.

Something that you looks with admiration because it seems not to be equal to it. 

Haute couture is creative, exaggerated, amazing...it's really a dream!

Armani delights us presenting a fabulous collection based on iridescences and metallic colors. He plays with lights and unusual shapes and he gives the final touch with orbital hats; and he doesn't forget to insert colors such as fuxia, green and red!

Karl Lagerfeld chooses to make classics Chanel pieces contemporary, matching leather pants to tweed tailleur. He inserts swarosky crystals and, as usual, he has a preference for black and white; shapes are linear and simple. Dior fashion show opened in red and ended in white but believe me, colors and shapes are once again to boss the show! Drapes, silk and tulle are the protagonists and the ways to make a chiaroscuro effect. Givenchy makes pin on white and long size dresses, combining them with garish hats. What about Maison Martin Margiela creations? They're incredibly unusual...a mix of bright colors and materials which make us joyful! (I'm really in love with the jumpsuit! Colors are scaled-down and the special decoration on the neck makes me crazy!). I've been impressed by the collection of Alexandre Vauthier because, dispite its semplicity and basic colors, I like the creations in the shapes (I'm a lover of shoulder squared), in high-waisted gold belts and in bright colors and materials of the long dresses.

We're just at the beginning, what do you think for now?

pre-fall Chanel

Hello everybody!

After the croisière 2011 (if you haven’t seen the show click here because it’s amazing, I loved it!) Karl Lagerfeld presents the Chanel pre-fall collection 2011, named Paris-Byzance (here the video of the show). The Rue Cambon atelier has been transformed into an ancient city, decorated with gold, brown and oriental colors, which are at the base of the collection itself! The inserts of violet, red and blue, give the collection a very chic touch! They have took care of the accessories and even classics ones are been revisited, adding charms, stones and, like each Chanel collection who deserves respect, PEARLS! 

Karl Lagerfeld doesn't miss a shot!
