Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton
After the lost of Lee McQueen every eye was put on Burton's first collection as creative director and every expectation was high enough to mesmerize the show. The baroque, imperial and Louis XV style was accompanied by the tenderness. The handcraff of the cuts on the suits, a fabulous care on the shapes and the sculptural dresses were on the same way as Lee used the last years. To replace McQueen is not easy at all and sure it's going to take her a lot of patience and strengh to show her real personality and style, McQueen was unique and unrepeatable so Sarah Burton better restart by her own, goog job!!
Yves Saint Laurent
Stefano Pilati YSL collection has remind me when i visit last may Yves Saint Laurent exposition in Paris, an exhibition about his life and evolution. The exhibition was perfectly organized by his multiples stages, so when i saw the collection that Stefano has created i was convinced that he had look back to the past, took the archives and put everything together with delicacy but with full knowledge of what he was doing.
Chanel
Chanel runaway was the invitation to a dark garden full of secrets very well told by Karl Lagerfeld. The classic tweeds were back, and it's been a very innovative collection which seems to never stop in the kaiser's mind. This collection it has been decorated by some feathers on the jackets shoulders, zigzag prints, flower blouses, shredded jeans, and chiffon shapes. Chanel is not about trends, is about class, history, it's about the "know-how". Karl Lagerfeld knows how to keep with Chanel style and at the same time create pieces and clothes that are modern and developing. Chanel with Karl is never going to be off fashion, not even off life. The appearance of Inès de la Fressange at the end of the show was the proof of what Lagerfeld wanted to show, the background of a house with many stories to tell, a look back to the 20's at Mademoiselle Coco Maison.
