CHANEL COUTURE S/S 14









































Wow, this collection was amazing. I'm not usually too impressed by Karl or his collections for Chanel, because I find them repetitive and ultimately unengaging, but this was something different. For once, the models looked like they had fun and this was shown in their attitude on the runway; a fun and enthusiastic girl, strutting her stuff! Perhaps this was to reflect the sporty influence, clearly seen by the sneakers.

I liked the first few dresses (#2), I thought that it was a fashionable twist on the tennis uniform with an illusion-like-waist. However, this did become repetitive, because there was about 7+ re-colourings of the same dress. Then Karl presented some amazing looks, these were super stylish and very simple. Xiao Wen Ju (#5) has got to be my favourite look; elegant, functional and very chic. The overall presentation was very good, along with catchy music, and a grand finale. It's nice to see a more simpler runway, so the focus is on the clothes, just like how Gabrielle presented her debut collection initially.


What did you think of this collection?

  1. I agree, the fun and enthusiastic, almost carefree, girl aesthetic is something they should really play with more often. From what I can see, the overall aesthetic is very clean and simple but effortless. Number 5 is definitely my favourite.
