23rd April 2010 in Fashion

Nearly two months after it debuted on the runway, I still find myself daydreaming about that ice-inspired Chanel collection. Perhaps it’s the winter-lover in me, but even after all this time, I’m still quite giddy over this collection and the treasure trove of beauty and little details it holds. I realise this seems very, very out of place now considering the grass is finally turning green and buds are appearing on trees, but I just love the super plush furs, woolly textures, and general Arctic-inspired approach to this collection. Despite the cool colour scheme, and frigid concept, this collection still imparts a luscious sense of warmth and comfort.

Like most Chanel collections, the wow-factor comes from the details. My, oh my! The accessories are – excuse my pun – iced to perfection. Completely ignoring the skillful craftsmanship that went into the fabrics (ruching! ♥) and focusing solely on the handbags and jewelry… my heart is melting.

Not to mention the runway itself is inspiring enough on its own! As I start to push my own boundaries as a budding interior architect, it’s over-the-top installations and solid follow-through concepts like these that I turn to to further advance my own imagination and design ideas.

Even if some consider it out of place among the greening grass, who cares?! I completely understand why you’re still enamoured with this collection. The accessories alone are absolutely stunning.

What beautiful photos! Chanel fashion shows always look to me like a fantasy world, so dreamy and ethereal are the clothes and the models and the sets.

The purses are so fun! If I was a gajillionaire, I’d be aaaall over them. Why, oh why, must couture be so expensive. :(

I have to admit when I first saw the collection, I just wasn’t into it. Now when I take a closer look and sort of take it apart, there are a lot of beautifully textured pieces that would stand out on their own and are really quite pretty. Of course with all the white, the dirt would literally jump on me….

From a distance, it doesn’t really seem like much. But I 100% stand by the details of this collection being what carries it.
