Fashion Week Spring 2010: Chanel

Oct 8, 2009 / Posted in Chanel Handbags, Fashion by Amanda Mull.

Chanel 21I must disagree, strenuously and vociferously, with the reintroduction of the wood-bottom clog to the high fashion lexicon. Even when these particular wood-bottom clogs are from Chanel Spring 2010. I will not stand for it.

What I do like, however, is smiling. Models smiling. When was the last time that you saw model after model, looking reasonably happy and human, in a major fashion show. In the fashion show of Paris Fashion Week? And do my eyes deceive me, or was supermodel Sasha Pivovarova talking on a cell phone on the runway?

And is that hay? Did Karl Lagerfeld turn the Grand Palais into a barn?

Yes and yes.

Quite honestly, regardless of the clothes (which were reasonably fabulous, but not the best of the week. Like I said in a previous post, Alexander McQueen already won), Chanel’s show appeared to be the most joyful. At my college, we had a saying: our team may occasionally lose a football game, but we’ve never lost a party. And that’s exactly what Chanel did this week: they won the party. I mean, they even had a live band! With Lily Allen! Was there a keg? If there was a keg, I bet it was really nice beer.

      Most of them are at least smirking – they were obviously told to do something slightly happier than traditional modelface. Looks like some of them found that easier to remember than others.

    I like the vibe. Some of the clothes are too sweet. I like the black dress, though.

    Channel 21 is what i think looks like she is wearing one of those wired bags and those wooden soled clogs are hideous ……But, i do like the models and their smily faces … Some clothes are bright and chirpy but not all…..

    For some reason, I think the Asian model is the cutest out of the lot! Agree with you, Marissa :)

    Leave it up to Lagerfield to surprise us with HAY. When I clicked to view more I was actually a little afraid of seeing overalls and plaid … but the outfits are nice, as usual. The hay seems weird, but at least he’s trying to mix it up ^^

    Brilliant, it would certainly make people turn in the street if you wore those outfits and clogs. Most of the images have interesting designs however not really my cup of tea.

    Yes i agree Atrophia they are nice but i also think 15 looks very elegant!

    Now this is what you want to go with those outfits!
