There’s something there, but the rouged eyes are preventing me finding it.

I’m not sure there is something or someone there. It reminds me of a nicely detailed sofa throw pillow. Nice workmanship, however.

Chanel has presented some very striking designs that are pleasant to look at, but I can’t think of anyone, even a celebrity, who will be able to wear them. The one above could too easily be taken for “wrapped up in a jeweled bedspread.”

This one seems totemic. Emblematic. But of what? I haven’t a glimmer.

Someone will wear this dress. It will be the wrong person at the wrong place and people will cluck and award fugdom. It starts out rather nicely “Madame X” before becoming insect screening rather too far above the floor, or perhaps rather not far enough from what we usually cover.

I hardly know anyone who couldn’t wear this silver outfit, nor do I know anyone who would. She doesn’t look very happy about it either.
See the rest of it if you like at the UK Telegraph runways report.
