Chanel Dubai show ~ Arabian heritage with a modern twist!

The first photos from the Chanel Dubai show finally hit the internet. And … well at least some of my expectation, which I wrote about here, were fulfilled. Here is a first at the collection. My favorites? Definitely the shoes….

Chanel Dubai show / The shoes

There it was … The flat mule with triangular detailing inspired by traditional Arabian footwear. It looked so cool especially in black.

Chanel Dubai show! Somehow I knew that such a flat mule style with triangular detail will be on the runway. But I love how it is hybridized with the lacing…

Chanel Dubai show / The bags

I spotted a very cool bag. A Minaudière in the shape of a simple white pearl. So classic and elegant.

Chanel Dubai show / The silhouettes

As expected there were the pants, cuffed at the ankle in many cases, and often combined with a skirt above. Particularly in the evening wear department those silhouettes looked great.
