After a look at this years Chanel Fall/Winter 2010 couture line I would have to say I am refreshed. Keep in mind that over the past year or so I have fallen out of love with Chanel, I'm not sure why. Maybe it was the same old classic suits, the same old Chanel, it seemed all too predictable to me. Now it's all in the past, and I've dove headfirst back into infatuation with Chanel. LOVE IT!
One of the main things I noticed over and over again is the waistline. The waistline is up in the ribcage and defined by a cutoff overcoat/overshirt. I think that helped in making this line what it is, the raise of the waist offering a very feminine figure, that's defined without being shapely. Not a lot of shape was seen in any of the outfits except for here and there in a long, low, puffed sleeve, or random accent of the bust or bottom.
I liked how it stayed so refined, without to much bulge or frill. It gave off a womanly, slight silhouette without effort. It was classy and well-groomed yet seemed low-maintenance.
At first colours were also very subtle same with little pattern and embellishment. Then the addition of a touch of fur and some glitz entered. While keeping the same silhouette for the rest of the show the clothing seemed to blossom. There were ornamental suns, then flowers and some leaves scattered over the outfits in a mature (think fall, mature season of the year!) matter. No daisies, nothing bright, but beautiful and refined beauty. The colours themselves were also in keeping with the theme, nothing unnatural.
Sleeve's were kept at 3/4 length for the majority of the show. Going with the general lightness of the fabrics where nothing seemed overly bulky or layered, it gives a slight airiness to the ensemble. Hem lengths were kept appropriate staying sleek and straight to the knee and no shorter. Longer hems were flowy and most had a sheer overlay in the same colour, once again adding the light feeling.
Necklines were kept fairly conservative, only dipping into a wide slight V a few times.
Boots were mainly midcalf and dressed just as the rest of the outfit to match. The only major accessory was the bracelets. The only part about the outfit that could be considered weighty or heavy. Since the rest of the ensemble was never overwhelming it fit quite nicely, noticeable but not attention drawing.
Overrall I am extremely impressed with this collection, I believe if I wore any piece I would feel like royalty, and who doesn't want to be a princess? Or better yet, Queen of the world?
Well done.
Peace
Chalsie
