the most surprising of paris fashion week: Chanel


Okay, aside from Karl's rude comments earlier this week, the Chanel show was still absolutely something we have never seen before.

With a down on the farm theme, the entire runway was covered in hay with models and Lily Allen [wtf, why] playing around in the space while somehow creating a semblance of a show.

Favorite Look:

How hot is it to have a gorgeous couple being able to pull of the exact same outfit? Incredible and impressing. And those jeans, gotta have em.


With close to 75 looks, it's unbelievable [but not unusual] that he had so much to show. However, that being said, there seemed to be a multitude of ideas that did not really connect. That is not to say the show was bad, but I would have been more impacted if the clothes all had the classic Chanel feel, or a white out feel, or whatever feel that would fit together.

But give me a break on the ugly clogs. I usually never say this about anything unique or super high fashion, especially Chanel, but those clogs are just freaking hideous.

Overall, I feel very mixed emotions about Chanel this season. It's very hot and cold for me, like wow, that was completely incredible or oh my god, I wish I could burn that. But that's the thing with fashion, sometimes your favorite designer can create something that makes you gasp, and not in a good way. But no one can ever deny the genius that is Karl Lagerfeld or the house of Chanel, no matter what gets sent down the runway.
