CHANEL PARIS IN ROME

CHANEL PARIS IN ROME
Chanel’s Paris-Rome Métier d’Arts collection
The latest of Karl Lagerfeld’s masterful spectacles, the entire set was transformed into a replica of a nostalgic Parisian street-complete with a boulangerie, le métro station, and a cinema-all in Chanel’s signature black and white. A screening of Karl’s much-anticipated fictional biopic “Chanel Once and Forever” kicked off the event, before 88 new looks hit the runway. Karl and a troupe a newspaper boys closed the show as the set’s street came alive to signal the start of the collection’s after-hours soirée.

Fendi Pre-Fall 2016

Karl Lagerfeld presents Fendi Pre-Fall 2016- There is the retro futuristic touch- Fashion colection, and it is seen through geometrics, furs, colorblocking and other high visual garments.
Chunky slippers in leather, sheepskin and fur worn with slouchy socks underscored the loungy boudoir feeling of the clothes, including a velvet pajama-like tuxedo and a roomy, fuchsia and brown wool jacquard robe coat cinched with a lavish mink belt. Another delightfully rich graphic piece was a mannish intarsia coat crafted from mink — shaved and long haired — with astrakhan lapels. To counter the lush masculinity of the oversize shapes, there were girly grandma moments in a vintage-y striped fur coat and cloche festooned with a colorful, cartoony fur flower and a silk jacquard dress enriched with organza floral appliqués and jewel embroidery.

JASON WU PRE FALL 2016

“Luxury people don’t want merchandise,” said Jason Wu at a recent preview of his latest Pre-Fall collection. “Beautiful clothes that you can have for a long time,” he added. So instead of treating Pre-Fall 2016 as a lesser-than collection, he imbued it with a genuine fashion message inspired by - the rich colours of Le Corbusier paintings and furniture, particularly the modernist’s pony-haired sling chair. “My entire house is grey flannel and Mid-Century modern, so in that way it’s very me,” explained the fashion designer.The fashion collection -Jason Wu Pre Fall 2016, with its lingerie slips dotted with 3-D florals and buttery leather dresses, was indeed very “him” — modern clothes for women who like to dress. But perhaps he’s loosening up a bit. The collection’s star was a pair of glen-plaid patchwork trousers with a zipper lining the seam from knee to ankle. Undo that zipper and the already wide leg became downright billowy, worn equally well with a matching blazer or a jacquard-knit cashmere sweater, topped off with a string of pearls. A patchwork fit-and-flare dress was seamed with zippers for the same effect: one could wear it quite close to the body, or a little further away.
