Chanel Haute Couture spring 2011

Where is the stage? My first question after seeing this collection.Chanel, that is CHANEL, always has staged its shows at grand proportion sets.For spring 2011, an Airbus A380 could  literally land on its runway that if I were Freja Beja, I would charge Karl double my fee. This time for haute couture, the runway looked simple and only, I think, about 10% of its usual audience count were invited.

Is this haute couture? My second question.The clothes at first look would tell you they're just from ready-to-wear,but this being Chanel, clothes should be seen at a microscopic level.Aha, no wonder why this show is that intimate.Details.After all, who can see them when they are so minute and the set is visible from outer space.Like what Tim Blanks wrote on his review, 10 million beads were used to create this collection.10 million beads.I don't know if this were a joke but that seamstress better have her eyes checked.Now.

The collection started in  black and white and  lots of pinks came after.A Chanel formula.Models in sequinned pants and what's missing?Heels.What I love about the clothes here is they're wearable.  Another is its appeal to a much younger demographic. Tweed jacket over jeans or a flowing skirt. This styling just says that.
