Chanel Shimmering City

       A trip to Singapore Spring has given topic by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Couture show his Autumn - "The old and the new world," he said. The old man was a theater in ruins (built by Chanel machinists in the Grand Palace) and represented as a sparkling new galactic landscape in ruins.

Mr. Lagerfeld continued dialogue with the clothes - more or less successfully. Tweed sooty (or, more likely, embroidery resembles tweeds) and medieval robes were mixed with the surface of the new world and glassy materials. A closer examination often reveals a strange substance was actually quite a beautiful silk with small diagonal lines of silver sequins. The tiled panel of an evening dress in a straight line was, in fact, based on origami, with hundreds of small squares in colorful pleated chiffon silk. The strawberry an evening dress in black tulle was made by folding first store in Paris.

So the old leadership has given the new, and thus a kind of harmony that Mr. Lagerfeld knows how.

The clothes were immaculate, catchy, misleading. While rummaging backstage before the show, I stopped in front of a bright green woven tunic dress (or maybe embroidered, again it's hard to tell) in a nearly rustic texture with pieces of gray and white and dark green. The tunic has a wide neck and a small row of buttons in matte silver and discrete bags. We have seen this kind of Mr. Lagerfeld - the small shoulder tunic worn (this time) with a wide belt and thigh suede glove so thin they had to take place by garters. Later, when the coats and tops in the corridors of the decrepit theater Mr. Lagerfeld appear, they seem rather flat. But because I touched it and looked in and saw the colors very close, I can say that there is more than meets the eye.

But some of the proportions and shapes Day Mr. Lagerfeld need airing, it became a little monotonous. And I think it depends on too many new textures to give them new.

The gowns were usually large, silver or black with the strongest part cash, widow black tulle beads or micro-scratches on the soft, supple, delicate silk insect's wing.
