Chanel: Fall-Winter 2010-2011 Fashion Show

Karl Lagerfeld is known to present Chanel’s newest collections in monumental and memorable fashion shows. 

The Fall-Winter 2010-2011 isn’t  an exception to this tradition. The theme for this collection is the “global cooling” 

and the effects it has on the planet. Lagerfeld designed the runway as a real life iceberg, made of real ice and snow. 

As the fashion show went on, the ice started to melt and the models strutted their stuff on a wet surface, splashing water onto the audience.

The collection’s line is very couture, but not too over-the-top. With a mix of Native American flare and a classic 1930’s style, there is an amazing amount of fur, although it is all fake. “It’s so good now, technical advancers are so perfect you can hardly tell fake fur from the real thing. Fake is not chic, but fake fur is.”, Karl Lagerfeld states during an interview with The Telegraph. The collection also uses a lot of tweed, capes, bonnets, coats and a great color pallet (brown, red, black, cream, grey, white, powder blue).

Yet again, Karl Lagerfeld makes Coco Chanel proud with a gorgeous and original collection.

Enjoy the show!
