Oh Karl, you did it again. Right when you think you’ve seen the craziest, most bizarre runway show, Chanel wowed the audience with an “old country barnyard meets high-fashion” inspired theme. Models emerged from a giant haystack dressed in neutrals and soft pink and blue colored knits, see through floor-length skirts, and the ever so appropriate, clogs. Chanel, known for textured knits, added a rougher twist on the classic look. Whether the models were dressed in full-bodied skirts or barely anything covering their legs, nude-colored tights with dangling chains or laced ribbon patterns were added to the mixture. There was a rustic air to the show, but little did anyone know about the naughty rendezvous that would occur at the end featuring Lagerfeld’s right-hand man Baptiste Giabiconi, Freja Beha Erichsen, and Lara Stone. As the gorgeous three started to roll around in the hay, Lagerfeld took his bow to a standing ovation.
Goosebumps and a slight shiver run down your spine when you take sight of a troop of models fiercely strutting down what seems to be an endless runway of Lanvin’s Spring/Summer 2010 show. Dim lights and a dark audience helped bring the illusion Alber Elbaz was trying to create inside the transformed warehouse. With minimal decorations, and a long runway, the clothes were sure to get all of the attention. Elbaz’s trademark of one –-shoulder ensembles made more than just one appearance at this year’s show. He took a fresher approach to the one-shoulder look by elaborately draping two big ruched sleeves. The color pallet consisted of bold pinks and reds, luxurious pewter, rich black, bright green, and blue. Not only did the fabric itself make a statement, but the detailing of the gold sequins and assortments of jewelry showered the garments. Lanvin’s look of class, sex appeal, and boldness was still relevant at this year’s show, and heads will definitely turn when seeing a piece of Elbaz’s masterpiece.
Be bold this fall and winter by amping up your outfits with this season’s must have accessories. Push your wardrobe further with audacious hardware, metallics, industrial embellishments, and luxe sparkle and shine. When going out at night opt for a shoe with studs. If you are feeling extra adventurous go for snakeskin. This season, it’s all about the peep-toe and sky-high heels. If you’re looking to perk up a pair that you already own, pair them with colored or patterned tights: they always add interest to a simple outfit. When going casual, boots are a must. They are practical, and can be found in all lengths, styles, and material. Suede or a zipper detail is a great alternative, and don’t be intimidated by over the knee or thigh high boots. They come in heels or flats and are adaptable to any outfit. The same theme can be seen with bags and jewelry. Look for a bag with a metal or chain strap, or if you want something softer, fringe or lace. These add a touch of charm and ornamentation, working with outfits on all levels, from going out on the weekend or going to class. There is no limitation to size. Go big if you need to carry books, choose stamped leather or a neutral with interesting details. Look for braiding, zippers, buckles, and pockets, because the more variation, the better. For night, go beyond the standard clutch. Select something with a boxy shape and a hard case. Metallic clutches are perfect for the holiday season, and will be sure to catch everyone’s eye. Let the jewelry you choose enhance your clothing choices. Necklaces this season tend to be big and bold; boasting jewels, pearls, beading, metal, and ribbon. They are so versatile, and can be worn with a t-shirt and jeans, paired with a cardigan, or added to a dress or embellished top. Another trend in jewelry are large metal cuffs. They range anywhere from molded gold to studded silver, but no matter what, the wider the better. Be careful when selecting jewelry, it is wise to choose one or the other so that you don’t over do it. Don’t forget that as it gets colder scarves and gloves are essential, and can be fashionable. Gloves no longer have to be neutral; they come in all colors this winter. Try a pair in a jewel tone, and don’t be afraid to experiment with length. Channel your inner Holly Golightly and pick an elbow length pair. As for scarves this season, they go beyond the ordinary knitted wrap-around. Go for a funnel or tubular scarf, a continuous piece that doesn’t drape down. It could be simple cotton or as extravagant as fur, but no matter what it will keep you warm and in style. This season is all about being confident in how you dress and choosing bold, interesting accessories to complete the perfect outfit.
