CHANEL PRE FALL 2011: BYZANTIUM EMPRESS

The renaissance man named Karl Lagerfeld, has spent the last decade eternalizing not only his own legend but the legend of enduring fashion icon, Coco Chanel. Lagerfeld still wins plaudits for keeping the brand fresh and preserving its classic appeal.

Inspired by Byzantine arts, Chanel's luxurious neck pieces were quite unconventional. The amazing pieces which appeared pendants in multiple were breath taking and made a striking impression of the whole collection. Patterned after broken glass mosaic, strung on silver and gold, the prized lapis lazuli, a rare semi precious stone was turned into fabulous jewelry. Swirls of  chunky chains with elaborate patterns in raw forms gave a new dimension to ornament designing of Chanel.

The Pre Fall silhouettes were obviously Chanel, the gorgeous tweeds, embroidered fringes, bejeweled byzantine square bottons, quilted hand bags and feathers added opulence to a grand collection in all respects.

Interestingly, the House of Chanel maintained the luxe factor in Lagerfeld's innovative manner.

CHANEL LOOK for MEN

Fashion is not simply a matter of clothes. Fashion is in the air, born upon the wind.It is in the sky and on the road. - Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel


Visual images of  labels bombarded big screens showing glamourous models endorsing brands to augment bourgeois quotient, some of these images have indeed been from the house of CHANEL.

Taking world fancy by storm, from the iconic jackets to bags and the famous Chanel No. 5 perfume, a fashion juggernaut  has proven that  Chanel is one of the most recognized brand, trusted and embedded in our fashion psyche for years.

 History is made relevant here, as Karl Lagerfeld created with ultimate sartorial poise, the CHANEL look for men. However, a better chic muscle and a more powerful line is much needed to compete  the more popular Dior Homme.
