A Simple Approach

After the passing of creative director and fashion darling Karl Lagerfeld, the Chanel maison has been adopting a more minimalistic and youthful approach under the eye of Virginie Viard, the house’s new creative director, who seems to be embracing the concept of “Less is More” to perfection. This collection is set on that minimalist, youthful path, clearly with the intent to appeal to a younger audience. The pieces are quite minimal but as we know, less often means more work, and that certainly is the case for this collection. Beautifully embroidered and feathered ensembles, reminiscent of the classic Chanel era with a modern more youthful twist, magnificent gowns that scream glamour and elegance; in some of the pieces we can see a slight influence from the 60’s as well as some minor grungy, gothic and victorian elements.

Leave it to Donatella to give you a true statement collection, asymmetry never looked so good.

Modern Princess... Murad knows what a girl wants to feel like, and with this beautiful embroidered fairytale designs, he sure captivates the spectators attention. While Murad is no stranger to embroidery and some might think the collections are quite monotone, I beg to differ.  In this collection, Murad shows a wider range on the garments, with intricate and extremely detailed embroidery and delicate , feminine touches like transparencies and cuts that bring out best and most of the female body. From short structured dresses, both sleeveless and long sleeves as well as with shoulder pads and capes, Murad's collection is one to remember.

Simplicity, chic, layering, volume, embroidery, sophistication and femininity. Those are the words to describe Valli's most recent couture collection. It started off with simple, retro, light and bright colored little dresses with layered, volumed details, shortly followed by wide short dresses, above the knee length with embroidered details that popped up the designs to life. Then came the small tule capes and the cross over dresses along with the fairy, boho looking dresses.

Boho-Chic Lavin presents a collection with slight grunge- goth finishes and boho-pirate feel, the collection overall filled with slightly oversized garments and slim fit pants, a feminine touch with low cut neck shirts, transparencies and belted coats.
