If Virginie was standing next to Karl for 30 years at CHANEL, it
is now perfectly clear that she was either in some somnambulistic state, the pin girl or just
plain not paying attention as apparently, she learned nothing of the DNA of the
most fabled and historically revered fashion house in the world.

If this is her
coming out, well then, I say go back in that freakin cave as this is an insult to
the brand, to Karl and to Coco. How does one design a collection that is rife with
signatures and known for its slick, soigné and timeless elegance come up with a
collection that looks like the wardrobe from a low budget fashion horror movie.
How does one design a collection that is this clumsy, this heavy handed and ...pardon
me ... but who needs to see belly roll on a so-called model? Again, I guess
this is the time to reiterate that no matter how long you stand in a garage you will
not become a car!

A resort
collection that is mostly black ...oh right, GOTH... very Chanel and styling i.e.,
hair and make-up that looks like do it yourself and shoes paired with fishnets that are inconceivable for a brand
of this stature, not to mention the fittings.

I have always said
Chanel sells no matter what but not when it is geared to teen agers and wanna
be nuns ...oh and being politically correct ... sustainable tweeds...great idea
Virginie ... it’s too bad there is now a law that prevents burning this atrocity
of a collection

This woman
needs to take a deep breath and realize she might have signed her exit
interview with a pile of rags that looks like this. Okay, okay, don’t get me
wrong there were about 6 pieces which were passable and the rest is just trash!
This is a collection that Zara, H&M and Forever 21 would pass on !

IT’S AN EMBARRASSMENT TO ALL CONCERNED INCLUDING THE FASHION BUSINESS AS A WHOLE.
