"It's more about the mood of the times, not something you have to
translate," said the designer after the show. "It's all about the wind,
it's in the air," he gestured of the set and referring to the overall
ease, breeze and serenity of the collection which, still Chanel through
and through, didn't draw on one chain or camelia. "I removed
everything," he said - except for the pearls. While other houses are having a new lease of life breathed into them
with new creative directors (Raf at Dior, Hedi at Saint Laurent, Jil
back at Sander), Lagerfeld showed that Chanel doesn't need that - Chanel is still the crème de la crème of the brands.
13th September 2012. Amsterdam's first Fashion's Night Out.
Since
Holland is not very famous for its fashion, neither for fashionable
people it was actually the 1st time that I saw so many well-dressed
people on one spot in Amsterdam! Yes, The Netherlands finally got their own VOGUE magazine this year, bringing 'Fashion' into the lives of us Dutch.
Highights:
Estée Lauder counter in de Bijenkorf where you could get your nails polished and accentuated with Vogue
P.C.
Hoofdstraat was nicely decorated. All boutiques were open and offered
their little interpretation of a fabolous Fashion's Night Out.
What
I bought that night? Vogue T-shirt and I went to the Chanel Boutique to
buy this year limited edition product 'Twin Set' (nailpolish + matching
lipstick), which could only be purchased that night and only in the
boutiques.
I decided to get the color Provocation, a deep purple-dark redish color.
