My hesitance to write this article on Karl Lagerfeld’s most recent fall couture collection for Chanel is majorly due to the intimidating complexities of the garments, that and my self doubt as a writer. The collection is elaborate, dark with luxe undertones that gradually become more dominate as the show progresses. Garments were encrusted with intricate Imperial beadwork and crystals while tweed coats featured lavish fur trimmings. Femininity is incorporated through the incorporation of floral prints, laces and sheers. The silhouettes were voluptuous as seen in previous collections from the designer.

For this couture collection, Riccardo Tisci opted for a more intimate presentation “I want to make couture even more special than it is, and not just another catwalk show.” Consisting of only ten looks, the collection was elegant, romantic yet remaining quite gothic. Inspiration was drawn from Frida Kahlo’s interests in the human anatomy, sensuality and religion. The collection was much softer in comparison to the designers’ recent work in terms of colour palette and also in the ornate embellishments. The intricacy of the dresses were in the delicate laces, ostrich feather and fringing. The silhouettes were sleek yet feminine with emphasis on the skeletal figure of the human with the incorporation of corsets, belts and zipper details. Embellishments such as pearls, crystals and beading added luxurious couture appeal whilst house signature toughness and edge is integrated through the gold studded waist belts and zipper detail.
