December is a month of holiday but not yet for the fashion lovers.First week of the month all fashionistas around the world will busy gather new updates on their blogs or article columns focusing on British Fashion Awards, Chanel Métiers d'Art Show and Victoria's Secret Fashion Show before hit for a holiday feast. As Fashion blogger and style observer, Chanel show will always be my top pick. I personally feel that Chanel, Métiers d'Art Show are special. Here, we're not only to love FASHION but also able to learn appreciate excellent skills and workmanship of a craftsman.
Under Karl Lagerfeld's wings this season Chanel took its annual Métiers d'Art show to the beautiful Salzburg, Austria. Karl Lagerfeld choose Schloss Leopoldskron Chateau as the venue of the event, it captures the history that linked to Gabrielle Chanel past and Austria was dear to Gabrielle Chanel's heart. The beautiful hotel was previously a 18th-century baroque palace surrounded with mesmerising views and big open lake as its backdrop. Not only that, Salzburg was birthplace of the great Mozart and setting for The Sound of Music. Simply an amazing venue for an extraordinary celebration.
As we all know, Karl Lagerfeld is a person with great passion for fashion; now he's so onto new direction of today's style. I, myself an observer barely hard to predict and can't detect Karl's mind every season; what he feel or things he inspired. Not only that, Karl Lagerfeld had drawn lookalike scenery of Schloss Leopoldskron as Chanel invitation. Karl Lagerfeld also pick the iconic Chanel Jacket as his main inspiration this season in his collection and short film for Chanel. That's why I adore so much Karl Lagerfeld work; full of passion.
Oh yeah..mentioning about Chanel's latest short film, everyone was thrilled after Chanel posted the house new trailer short film on Chanel website. Pharrell Williams, Cara Delevingne and Geraldine Chaplin stars in Chanel's latest short film "Reincarnation". Pharrell Williams portrayed as young elevator attendant and Emperor of Austria, King Franz Joseph, Cara Delevingne plays as naughty waitress and Empress of Austria, Queen Elisabeth also known as "Sissi" and Geraldine Chaplin as Gabrielle Chanel. Pharrell Williams also composed and wrote the lyrics of "CC The World", the original soundtrack for "Reincarnation" and he sings along with the beautiful Cara Delevingne.
I feel happy that I've managed to watch the full length of "Reincarnation" on the evening of 2nd December, Malaysia Time through chanel.com . The film screened a night before the show at the Chanel's dinner party. In my opinion, Karl Lagerfeld did a great job and I liked it. The storyline was not overly done nor too cliché. It's fun and unique yet very Chanel. Based what I've heard, Karl Lagerfeld successfully attracted nearly 1.2 Million viewers watched "Reincarnation".
2nd December 2014. All the invited guests of Chanel from VVIP, Magazine Editors, Bloggers and Columnists, Media and Photographers also Celebrities Alice Dellal, Rooney Mara, Lily Allen, Geraldine Chaplin, Zhou Xun and Anne Berest were among attending the show. Schloss Leopoldskron become a fantasy extravaganza special for Chanel, there few circular tables brimming with candlelit buffets of fruits and Austrian mouth watering delicacies. All the guests were divided into various rooms like Schloss Leopoldskron's warm woody Library, classic touch of Venetian Room, beautiful Marble Hall, the bright Chinese Room and White Room.
This season Karl Lagerfeld presented his pre-fall - Métiers d'Art collection with over 80 looks. Most of his collection this season beautifully crafted, regal and less complicated. I'm glad that in this season collection elements shifted perfectly from classic to modern. Based what I've observed, The Classic Chanel Jacket, Austrian Tapestry and Military were the inspiration and key elements in each of the collection. From Chanel beautiful buttoned soft ruffled blouses, beautifully cut capelets, long wool-tweed jackets with embroidery detailing, over the knee pants, classic Chanel jackets lookalike tweed-knits with wide-legged tuxedo trousers or matching skirts, long knitted sweater dress with crochet detailing, beautiful oversized cardigan, oversized jacket with embellishment, knitted legging with prints, Rococo frock coats, long cape with feathers detailing, cardigan with shimmery-sequins match it with hot pants, beautiful sheer blue cropped top with small beautiful applique - nature motif detailing and matching full skirt with pleated ribbons trim, sheer blouse with feathery short skirt, beautiful capelet with applique detailing, applique blouses with butterflies details match with feathery dress, Ladies leather jacket with Chanel batches at the back, Men leather biker jacket, long sweater dress with detailing on neckline, beautiful Chanel strap dress with applique detailing, Chanel over the shoulder sheer dress with frills and applique - snowflakes detailing, cropped cape jacket, frilly blouse with matching full skirt, Chanel belted buckle dress and the grand finale look worn by Cara Delevingne in a pure white layered voluminous full skirt with beautiful Chanel bowed cape. Simply amazing! Not only that, accessories like hair ribbons, pearl necklaces, choker necklaces, cute braided earmuffs, beautiful big pearl cuffs to the feather hats, amazing various Chanel bags and shoes like leather boots, ankle lace boots to flats...everything look superb and very alluring. It compliment the whole collection perfectly. I loved the combination of art, heritage and luxury into one beautiful collection.
