Chanel goes round in circles
Following a Spring / Summer collection short of the mark, an amazing promotional coup in London for the Winter 2008/2009 preview collection, Chanel's Winter fashion parade has turned out too be a disappointment. It was once again another undigestible serving of camellias, necklaces, pearls... though this time, thank goodness, all the household Chanel symbols were part of the show rather than on the clothes themselves. With all due respect to Ms. Chanel, I fail to see how one can possibly use the same models, the same two-piece suits for decades, without it flirting overtly with old-fashioned. Mr Lagerfeld's answer to updating the old Tweed suit is to tear the front and the elbow... The result is untidy and unadapted.
