Chloé Fall 2010 RTW

A return to seventies classic sports wear is what comes to mind after seeing Chloé on Tuesday. Hannah MacGibbon offered us beige and little else. MacGibbon showed a collection that was considerably older than the youthful playfullness usually shown at Chloé. The clothes look very seventies business woman with long sleeve silk blouses with extend neck scarf ties and high waisted flared trousers, a very post women's lib look. I kind of like the seventies feel and I adore anything high waisted, but I can't help but miss the times of Phoebe Philo and girly dresses, 'it' bags, and statement shoes. here are my fave looks plus backstage goodies.

Chanel Fall 2010 RTW

I'm at a lost for words after seeing the looks at the Chanel show on Tuesday. The Grand Palais was transformed into an arctic scene where Karl had his models dressed as wookies walk the runway. He clearly used more fur than he ever flung at Fendi, yet unfortunately it was all fake. Why Karl? Why??? Shaggy fur pants, skirts, fur woven into tweeds, it was as if a tibetan-terrier shed all over my Chanel. Don't get me wrong there were some great looks too, wonderful angora sweater dresses, amazing knitwear,tweed dresses and skirts. Especially towards the end, some amazing knit and angora dresses with lace. The accessories were great too. Rock crystal neck pieces, bangles, giant cocktail rings. Translucent clutches that looked like the quilting and CC logo had been frozen in an ice tray. As for the models, Karl's favorite boy toy Baptiste Giabiconi walked the runway plus fashion's own abominable snowman Lara Stone, plus Erin Wasson looking like she just came out of a Ke$ha video. So here are my fave looks and alot of other Chanel goodies.

my favorite look! wool tights, angora hot pants, and Siri Tollerød
