A spring trend: Flatforms

Love or leave...

I can't quite decide how I feel about these... Nonetheless this is a trend for spring and they certainly look very comfortable. I think I would prefer a wedge or platform heel to these.
DG/4/2011: the more I come back to this post, the more I realize that I really, really do not like this trend.

Remember Now by Karl Lagerfeld

A peak into the lives of the tall, beautiful, rich and famous.

The film is full of Chanel models (wearing the 2011 Resort Collection) and French actor Pascal Greggory.

*Love Abbey Lee's hair

**Love the Mungo Jerry

***Love Lagerfeld.

All in all, I love it.

Chanel Resort, 2011

My favourite looks straight from Saint-Tropez at the 2011 Chanel Resort show.

Black & White, Head to Toe

New Classics

Safari Whites

Saint-Tropez Swimwear; Gingham and Glamour

Flowing Florals; Boho chic

.

Beautiful Brights

The collection showed several looks including brights, safari, pastels, florals, suits, classics, swimwear and rock & roll.

The care-free 70s seemed to be the inspiration for this collection, and why not, there shouldn't be a care in the world while dressed in Chanel in Saint-Tropez.

Rolling Stones Mick Jagger's model daughter Georgia May Jagger was walking the runway too, have a look.

Things I love: Lagerfeld and Diet Coke

Lagerfeld has designed a Coca-Cola Light bottle, and I want one!

I can't think of anything better, I love my Diet Coke and I love Lagerfeld! The Campaign stars Coco Rocha and Baptiste Giabconi (of course/yum).

The adorable Parisian boutique, Colette, (always ahead of the game) is selling the bottles and a cute box set here.

*****

Just had to throw this in, Justice (award winning French Electro group) has also designed a bottle for Coke, with the help of acclaimed French artist So-Me

Karl Calls for Clogs

The Chanel show today was magical, and the runway took the shape of a forest with young maidens strolling through. Absolutely fairytale inspired.

The collection is soft and beautifully feminine, and reminds me of a fashion savvy Little bo-peep.

While Karl says its "5 o'clog," the clog look hasn't warmed up to me quite yet.

In this youtube video, Lagerfeld explains his collection, and the...clogs...What do you think?

Chanel vacays in Venice

  
  

This past May 14th, the Chanel Resort 2010 collection was showcased on the boardwalk on the Venice Lido. Lagerfeld brought back the classic chanel suits, but also added some edgier pieces using lace, silk and sheer scarves. The show consisted of a few looks including nautical-beach, sophisticated business casual (classic tweed suits), vaudeville (the lace trims and sheer vintage styled undergarments)  and of course, elegant evening wear. 

Lagerfeld has no doubt been able to carry on the sophisticated reputation and traditions that Coco Chanel began in 1913, allowing women to dress for themselves and their bodies and not for their men! Following her ideal look: simple, comfortable and revealing, Lagerfeld has lived up to her famous quote to Harper's Bazaar, 1923 "simplicity is the keynote of all true elegance."
