Tag Archives: Chanel Métiers d’Art

The Métiers d’Art is Chanels pre-fall collection, which is shown yearly in early December. In contrast to most other brands, which show the more affordable and basic pieces in the pre-collections, Chanel focuses on outstanding, highly expensive items highlighting the craftsmanship of the various ateliers. The collection is designed by Karl Lagerfeld and presented at varying locations around the globe. It usually arrives in store in June!

More Chanel – The Chanel Dallas accessories

After taking a closer look at bags, knitwear and jackets the Chanel Dallas accessories are another facet of the collection thats worth to consider. Coco Chanel was the woman, who invented fashion jewelry and was brave enough to shamelessly mix fake and precious pieces thus gaining a totally effortless look! That said, as a minimalist at heart I usually tend to have some initial problems finding the right pieces among the “jewelry overload” that is quite typical for a Chanel show. However, the Chanel Dallas accessories were a little different compared with previous collections. There was a focus shift away from the layering of multiple necklaces towards bangles and bracelets as well as big but very delicate earrings with a great bohemian vibe. Here are my 3 favorites:

Let’s take a closer look at the Chanel Paris Dallas handbags!!!

Finally, I had been waiting for so long, Chanel Paris Dallas hit stores! While in Paris the collection had not arrived in store we were happy enough to spot the bright Chanel Paris Dallas window installation at the 57th Street New York flagship. As the perception differs so much between exploring a Chanel collection online or experiencing it face to face in store I simply had to walk in and have a look at the pieces. I am going to start with the handbag section and introduce my 3 favorites to you!

Chanel cruise Dubai – A closer look at the clothing

Yesterday Chanel cruise Dubai was presented. A little similar to Métiers d’Art Paris Dallas Karl Lagerfeld fused the spirit of Dubai with the Chanel heritage. As typical for a Chanel show there were so many different shapes, patterns, colors and decorative elements in the show that its really hard to name some favorites.

Pants ruled the Chanel cruise Dubai runway with shapes ranging from palazzo over straight and cigarette towards cuffed harem pants. A lot of white pants were present and gave the collection a little bit of Riviera spirit. One of the most adorable pants might have been a white slightly cropped straight pant with 3 little buttons and decorative, cobalt blue embroidery at the ankle. I guess the same pant style was also sent down the runway in black and cream with more simple buttons.
