The Chanel Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2009 show at Paris Fashion Week portrayed the sophisticated and delicate woman in white, with a subtle touch of black. Atypical of spring attire, the models walked in pristine A-line silhouettes with dramatic white paper-flowered crests on the head. Despite white galore, the collection was not an exercise of minimalistic design – designer Karl Lagerfeld enhanced the collection with a surprising amount of detail.
Cropped jackets featuring squared shoulders, bridal gowns flaunting laced/organza hem, and short layered dresses paired with tights were dominant throughout the show. As for accessories, craftily designed white paper tiaras seized all the attention. Lagerfeld’s collection exuded freshness, blending classicism and modernism the Parisian way.
Take a look.
