I have enjoyed such a wonderful time looking into the next collection. If you can purchase colours in the form of:
BLACK, CREAM, WHITE, SPEARMINT AND BABY PINK - you have the basics of a Chanel 2009-10 unprententious (no logo) collection.
A U T U M N/W I N T E R
READY TO WEAR 2009-2010 COLLECTION
LADIES - I would love you to capture and incorporate Chanel style into your wardrobe.
It can be done - here’s just some items you could purchase to capture CHANEL’S ELEGANCE into yours:
WORK CHOICES
Black knitted dress - v-neck would be good.
Wear a white shirt under a black dress.
Black court shoes.
Black fingerless leather gloves.
Black suit - wear with antique style lace and frills showing on sleeves.
Long metallic jewels on the outside.
Black knit 1960s style suit - jacket and skirt. Why not wear this with baby pink sandals and a black/pink knitted hat.
Sexy open fronted black dress.
Large white feather frills - you know the UK interior designer Laurence Llewellyn Bowen style.
MEN: Go with the same format (not the skirt) - classic black tailoring.
OTHER WARDROBE ITEMS:
Embellishment - sequins.
Netted see-through long flowing skirts.
Little satin skirts.
Short cream sleeveless tops.
High black waisted long skirt.
Cream/black knitted boater hats.
Long knit coat.
Clown style white necks under black jackets and coats.
Tight fitting coats.
Layering blacks and different textures - look great with some bright jewellery dangling on the end of a silver chain.
18th century influences - Edwardian style
Drama
Wear heavy eyes and less lip.
LADIES DAYWEAR (CASUAL):
SPEARMINT and BLACK - A perfect contrast.
Spearmint trousers with black
Spearmint wool mix coat
Spearmint long turn up trousers
Spearmint knitted large hat.
Spearmint knitwear
Baby pink thick tights - look fabulously chic and playful with black.
Baby pink knit dress and high heels (in the collection these were worn with leg warmers - I’m not convinced yet).
Patterned all-in-one suits (black on white/cream) - wear one of these if you really want to be noticed. Look great with some high chunky heels to extend those already long legs.
Knee+ boots.
So…….wardrobe focus on CUFFS, SILK, LACE, FEATHERS, WOOL AND GREEN/PINK JADE JEWELS.
An extremely well balanced collection - you just need to install the basics for the autumn/winter.
Just one of her many quotes: “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; Dress impeccably and they remember the woman” 1937.
