Chanel and Burberry Prorsum Pre-Fall 2009 collections

The collection's theme "Paris-Moscow" was very present it all the looks presented. Overall I didn't like the collection that much - it was way too costume-y for my taste. A lot of the pieces looked over the top (and I am not talking about the head pieces ;)) and not at all flattering. But despite all this I found some looks very appealing. It all reminded me of fairytale ice princesses and the head pieces had a great show factor. They reminded me of how I loved to drape jewelry all over my head and face when playing dress up a kid ^o^

Paris Fashion Week: Giambattista Valli, Yves Saint Laurent, Chanel

Am amazingly beautiful collection! The silhouettes, the fabrics, the colors everything is so romantic and modern. I especially love the full 50s skirts, they're done in such a sophisticated way that I could imagine myself wearing those everyday - no matter how unpractical they may be.


This collection certainly isn't as great as the last two from YSL but there were a lot of nice pieces that I liked nonetheless. There was a lot of pressure on Pilati after all the rave reviews he received for his last collections.
LOVE the shoes!


As always, the Chanel show was held in an amazing setting - a replica of Rue Cambon 31, the legendary first Chanel boutique.
This is one of the Chanel collections that I like, I'm not always such a big Chanel fan and I'm also not in love this this but I did think it was a good collection. This season Lagerfeld interpreted the classic Chanel tweed jacked in a rocky way by adding lots of chains. Some of the dresses were horrible but I loved a lot of the darker looks and those two toned tights were great!

Fall 2008 Ready to Wear

Chanel was okay, nothing special (as usual). But there were some pretty dresses that I really liked.

Chanel Pre-Fall 08

I didn't like the last few Chanel collections much but this is really nice, not cheap-looking like some of the previous collections.
The Amy Winehouse inspired hair and make-up amuses me and it doesn't even look bad on the models.
