France:Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Belle Brumelle RTW fall winter collection

 

The 2009/10 Fall-Winter Ready-to-Wear collection is an homage to black, all kinds of black. Karl Lagerfeld gave this collection a working title: "The collection is called Chanel Belle Brumelle," as a reference to Beau Brumelle, "the 18th century English dandy who invented the look for men of dark clothes with the focal points on ties, scarves, collars and cuffs.”

Therefore, in this collection there are ruffled collars and cuffs in white tulle, muslin and taffeta, which adorn the neck and wrists of the elegant black dresses and impeccable black suits. This unity of the blacks is punctuated by moments of pale pink and jade green, which delicately enliven the collection.

As for accessories, the jewelry is geometric, with a playful and unpretentious art deco inspiration. Also of note are the classic bags in their thermoformed packaging, with pockets for an iPod, a N"5 perfume, and sunglasses.
