Chanel haute couture spring 2018



It was hideous. It was fabulous. It was lighter than air; it was like a leaden balloon. It was as simple as an LBD; it was as ornate as a wedding cake. It was sliver thin; it was a slab of beef.

To say that Karl is as sly as a fox is an understatement because as said these couture collections  are about the ladies... not really about the paid off media but really about the ones who actually have the dough to spend on their frocks and determine the success and failure of each collection. My guess is that Chanel has the lion’s share of clients at this point since no sighted human wants what Mama Mia Maria is cooking up in the Dior laboratories.

Chanel speaks to its base ... suits, tweeds, clumsy, delicate, pastels, black, short, long... You name it and the bases are covered and it’s safe to assume that the numbers prove it all. Imagine .. Chanel mother of the bride ... it is almost comical if it wasn’t brilliant.

Other than the petite wedge bootie, which I loathe and those silly veiled bouquets planted on the heads of every girl ... there Is not much new here nor any fashion revelations BUT what you have is a solid salable commercial collection that begs to be bought by the archdiocese of Chanel.
