Fashion Fix Friday

Chanel’s Spring Garden Couture Show is sure to brighten up your Friday morning. Spring definitely sprung at Chanel on Tuesday as Karl Lagerfield re-enacted Gardeners’ World in his latest couture extravaganza.  It took a lengthy six months to create the 300 sugary paper flowers that decorated the set, forming the centrepiece at the Grand Palais. Two gardeners armed with watering theatrically splashed the faux foliage before the show began, as the flowers simultaneously burst into mechanical bloom.

Karl’s collection was all about flowers, as chiffon rosettes bloomed from full skirts, covered ruffles on dresses and sprouted from beanie hats. The house’s classic boucle suits came in a variety of light new rainbow weaves, but it was the modern fabric mixes styled into individual looks that felt the most fresh. Candyfloss organza layered over a waffle knit crop top – does it get any sweeter?

A veiled Kendall Jenner kicked off her 2015 catwalk crusade by walking for the Parisian mega-house, as momager Kris Jenner cheered her on from the sidelines. Models of the moment Sam Rollinson and Lindsey Wixson also made their 2015 debuts as celebrities such as Kristen Stewart watched on from the front row.

As is tradition, the show ended with the presentation of a Chanel bride, her train taking a total of 15 girls one month to complete. This time, she wasn’t pregnant, but was working a chic two-piece a little like Poppy Delevingne’s custom Chanel wedding dress for her wedding to James Cook last summer. We’re not surprised if Karl’s seeing high demand for that clever confection. Whip off the full and frothy skirt to reveal a party-ready mini skirt underneath. Absolutely genius!
