Chanel Catwalk Fashion Show Womenswear FW2016

Everyone seated at Chanel had a front row seat to witness every single one of the 92 outfits passing by at the Grand Palais Tuesday morning. No iceberg, Supermarket or airport to distract us from the clothing this time around. Back to err..basic, although every guest still had a gold painted chair awaiting them. At least Karl made sure our eyes were all on those bright pink opening looks. A selection of Chanel classic; tweed skirt suits decorated by multiple pearl necklaces. Update though, by touches of denim, riding boots and leather-brimmed boaters. After the pink an array of gray and off white looks appeared, followed by touches of camel, metallic, black and white. Heavy winter wool, leather and a type of multi colored fake fur gave the collection it’s rich touch, as did the gloves, the bags (some attached to the models’ belts – as seen at Prada) and the delicate jewelry. There were coats we could live in and off shoulder party dresses you’d never want to take off. Yet we doubt whether those silly hats will ever really become a thing..
