Chanel Pre-Fall 2009





Love it or hate it?
That's the question I asked myself when I start watching Chanel's Pre-Fall 2009 collection yesterday. I guess I'm something between and it's kind of love-hate relation. All in all Karl Lagerfeld didn't thrill me with his russian inspired look. 90% of the shown looks were a way too opulent for me personally, but anyway a few items really caught my eye and I'm sure they could make a fabolous outfit if styled a little more distreet. I totally fell in love with the classy black white dress which presents absolutely Chanel. 2nd thing I adored were the golden tights. I'm definately gonna look for a cheaper version.

Sure there were a few very Chanel-alike clothes however everything reminded me to Christian Lacroix. My conclusion: Not the best show but even though not aweful, but how could Chanel be aweful?!

Tell me your opinion ☺

I love the gold tights, and the red leather-ish (?) pants, but that is all. I don't really like how over-the-top it is.

Hello! Thank you for your comment :) And yes, I do agree. It is very Lacroix. The outfits have bits and pieces of good points. And I think the best of the lot are the men's outfits.

Hmm it's interesting, but it kinda reminds me of something that Queen Amidala in Star Wars would wear.

Vera said...

I do like it, it channels mcqueen. It's got this asian vibe going on, which is smart, considering how large that market is..

lena said...

Ella Gregory said...

I don't love it but I don't hate it. I wouldn't want to wear it that is for sure.

Tiger Lily said...

Ah. I am confused. You know how we French are believed to be thinking too highly of ourselves? Well, Chanel was, in my mind, like that. A grandmother who is always classy, may be a little pedant but that you still love for being glamour and intemporal.

And I guess I should like some renewal in the style and fancy the originality, but really, I don't. They look like... oriental furniture? Soooorrryy

i'm not too crazy about this pre-fall collection, to be honest. it's too much at the same time, but i sure love the golden tights.

MarionRocks said...

Thanks for your comment ^^
Actually, I love Chanel... I can't find a collection awful or something... This show is a bit early now, maybe we'll all adore it when pre-fall 2009 would be definitely here :)

Nemerae said...

Maybe it's too much, but I think I love most of the outfits.. and I need/want a pair of golden tights!!! *.*

I don't love or hate it.
Some pieces = fantastic, some = hideous.
But either way, I felt that Karl could have done better!

Love it. So ornate and detailed. Reminds me of the Nutcracker for some reason...but it could just be the season addling my wits!

Demi said...

thank you very much :)
and i quite like it. its very christmassy and i love the gold tights! xx

Emma Adeline said...

It looked cheap.

And I didn't like it that much, even if I'm a big fan of Chanel.

I'm disapointed that's it.

Even if I didn't hate it, a lot of pieces looked realy nice - but then again a lot didn't

Cindiddy said...

thanks for coming by babe!

Petra said...

LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

Yes, it is extremely over the top, and looks rather overdone and a bit cheap in place, but i love other aspects, and overall, it made me smile. Fashion to me is about happiness, and anything that brings a smile to my face i adore :)

Thank you for your lovely lovelt comments, you are so sweet x

Girl Next Blog said...

Nice collection!
But in my opinion it looks more Alexander McQueen than Chanel, don't you think?

And where's the purple dress on your title from? I love it!

jennifer said...

it's definitely stunning, as in it literally stuns you. i quite like, but i like decadent things and the whole russian inspired aesthetic x
