inThe 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.

inFinally Dior is again a modern Dior. After two long years of tedious (yet saleable) fashion at Chez Dior, this collection is on one hand fresh, new, elegant and modern, and on the other it is all I expect in a couture show. It respects the DNA of Dior and also you see the hand of the new genious in the house Monsieur “RAF SIMONS”
We all new that Simons first collection for Dior was going to be a success. I was ready to love it even before the show started. The show openned with a sleek black tuxedo, that made me dream with the original Bar jacket designed by Christian Dior in 1947. The tailoring, the collar, the hips, everything is Couture. After this a re-interpretation of the jacket in all the possible patterns. And then a fashion extravaganza, a lesson to be lernt,a dream come true, just perfection, the perfect balance between modernity and clasical elegance.
Tank you Raf for such a beautifull moment. This moment in time needs some one like you.

inWe finally have a new designer at DIOR. Some people said it was going to be Haider Akermann, others Philip Lim, but Mr. Jil Sander is the chosen YES!!!!!!
I really like his work. His color palate is always femenine, elegant and tender. The paterns are very complex but at the same time very easy to be worn, just like Mr Dior’s. The only thing I don`t know if he will be able to manage is the show part of the maison. Jil Sander’s runaways are always very etherial, and intimate, but Dior has a little bit more into the show, maybe not as much as with Galliano, but some show… What about complements?
Any way, I am so happy that he is working for Dior, that I can´t wait for the next season. GOOG LUCK!!

ALL ABOARD!!!!!! It was back in the 19th century when Monsieur Vuitton started his suitcase company in Asniéres (30 minutes away from Paris) This year the Vuitton corporation is going to pay tribute to the heritage of the house, and the modernity of Marc Jacobs. Two men and one commun history. Yesterday after the show LVMH inagurated an exhibition at the museum “Les Arts decoratives” in Paris that will share with visitors the passion of this men.
This collection is clearly inspired by Monsieur Vuitton. It is an incredible train trip, that when arrives at Vuitton station, all the ladies come down the train scorted by their porters carying their suitcases, bags,etc…. At first look it appears to be 19th century clothing, but far from here, what we discover is modernity. As one of next year big trends, we find trousers under skirts. We find modernity also in textures, in one skirt we find as a patchwork matte and shiny squares that reminded my of Vuitton’s “damier”. All the coats are money in the bank for retailers, they insinuate body shape, but at the same time they are loose enough to be confortable. And what can I say about the shoes? pure perfection.
After 15 years in Vuitton, and Marc is still one of the trend creators. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

What Sara Burton is doing with McQueen goes over art. It is the art of the future, it is the constant search for beauty, and that is to me what art is all about.
It is a very futuristic collection, and as it happened in Chanel, Sara concives the future not as the end of the world, but more as a delicate and tender future, where beauty will be back again. The show started with a collection of white coats with amazing fur collars. In the next looks the coats turned to dresess. All of them in white, soft gray, black, baby pink. All the pieces where heart-warming. When we thought that was it, the happines of life came in, represented as a series of fucsia pink dresses. Each one of them better than the one before, it went “in crecendo” like in the good Operas. The great finalle is an incredible bright black gown.
As I said before, a work of art!!!

The back drop at CHANEL looked just like Krypton, SUPERMAN’S homeland. Enormous multi colored quartz cristals rising from the ground like gigant fingers of a futuristic god (maybe his name is god Karl…)
What a master class in fashion!!! Almost 70 looks, and all of them impeccable. As usual !! Last winter’s show Karl took us to a very dark and depresive future, this year the future is inmaculate, it seams to me like a re-birth. There was even a baby on the runaway. It is an optimistic future, where we can find many styles of women, as many, as women are in the world. All the looks on the runaway search for their own individuality, but at the same time it is a very coherent collection. We can find heavy origami coats standing by some soft and etherial dresses. Tight trousers under wool skirts, transparent silk blouses worn with a metalic transparent skirt. Although black and gray are the basic colors, we find red, purple, green, yellow, etc…
As you can see this collection is for almost every girl in the planet, it is a creation by fashion god KARL LAGERFELD.
