Fashion: a most particular kind of woman

Chanel

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.”

Chanel again

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

Chanel evening

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.

Chanel mad

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.

Judith, I just checked out the UK Telegraphy link–it was fun. You really should post some from Designer Christian Lacroix’s collection. Some of them are truly belly laughable.

I do them as they come off the pages, but I am 9 hours ahead of you, so likely I am asleep when they appear.

That final silver outfit might suit Bjork, but she might find it too tame!

Definitely too tame!

I think if they-d shown that with normal heels and hair we wouldn-t find it unusual at all.
