Whenever Karl Lagerfeld has an idea for Chanel I find it amazing. His creative genius makes him this decade's Picasso. Except, of course, Lagerfeld's medium is fashion. Now, I could go on and on about how much I adore his ability to find fashion inspiration in anything, but I feel like it would be too superfluous. Anyways, the presentation for Chanel's Resort Collection this year was boundary pushing and fantastic as ever. It held many Middle-Eastern influences from shemagh prints and beautiful jewels that highlight Dubai's expensive tastes. It was costume jewelry, something Coco Chanel was fond of in the 1920s. Karl Lagerfeld always has the ability to revamp classic Chanel to these modern times. Indian culturalism was a beautiful symbol throughout the collection, from the woven prints to the jutti inspired flat shoes. The big hair and light lips gave off of a 1970s vibe, a contrast from the cutting-edge. However, it worked. These two influences blended together in perfect harmony while remaining contemporary. The entire venue for the show was like a massive lounge. With the viewed on plush couches that sank into the soft cream floor. The models walked around this carpeted floor, almost casually! The decor was fun, with structural palm trees and logo embossed lattice above full glass windows. My absolute favorite look was the second to last look, with the Dubai skyline embroidered onto a beautiful black shirt with matching pants.
