The word Vintage, is the last word that comes to my mind when I think in Karl Lagerfeld`s work for CHANEL. Yesterday´s couture collection was named “NEW VINTAGE” and far from here, it was as  expected a very French modern one.

Coco, used for the first time the clasic tweed for women. This time Karl has used it but in a “NEW” way. It is not the original real tweed, it is an embroidered over tule one “pure couture” The shoulders and length in the skirts semmed to be like the ones from 1940´s but the weight and movement of the fabrics give the pieces a very fresh look.  The old 1920´s cotton blouses now are young when made in tule.

For sure, there is nothing vintage in this collection, it is a real treat for the eyes and a great lesson in Haute Couture.
