Starting with the eloquent Versailles in Socialist France as a theme, Karl Lagerfeld continued his Chanel Success story by injecting a MODERN DAY MARIE ANTOINETTE appeal into his Resort 2013 Collection. He is the only one I know who could take such an elegant theme and juxtapose it with a HIP HOP edge and what can be described as PASTEL PUNK ROCK.It takes a genius to convey so many ideas and yet complete a collection that is still true to a brand, has a strong aesthetic and is still conceptually clear.
So how did he ensure all these ideas came together perfectly ?
Lagerfeld took Eighteenth century details and casualized them. He looked into new ways to develop them with fabrics you wouldn't expect for such an elaborate theme such as CHAMBRAY AND PLASTIC.
At the same time, it was still incredibly FEMININE, THEATRICAL AND BALLERINA LIKE. With his presentation at the famous fountains, it was definitely a pleasing day for the fashion crowds and Lagerfeld once again excelled himself.
