I am very skeptical about "high fashion." Don't get me wrong, I love fashion, but I despise fashion magazines and designers telling others what to wear, or what is "in style." That being said, I do like looking at various collections because clothing can be fun, creative, inspiring, and reminiscent. Chanel's Resort 2013 Collection - (this is another pet peeve of mine: collections coming out a year in advance because historically the upper class women wanted to differentiate themselves from lower class ladies who would tailor their clothes to resemble the dresses the rich ladies wore, so the upper class snobs started changing their styles periodically so a) one would know she was a true upper class lass, and not wearing "prêt-à-porter ", and b) so the lower class women would have a harder time catching up and "staying in style." Give me a break!) - is cool because I like the way Karl Lagerfeld used symbols of Versailles (where the fashion show was), Rococo, and Louis XIV's reign. I mentioned these comparisons in this post. Anyway, I like looking at the pastel colors and interesting shapes used in these Chanel outfits, and the use of tweed so infamous to Chanel's oeuvre. Would you wear any of the creations below?
