Fashion: Chanel’s layering allure

8 Mar

At Paris fashion Week for Chanel, designer Karl Lagerfeld brought us a look that was extremely wearable, inspiring and so suitable for those chilly winter months later this year. Slim trousers of every texture graced the models legs under dresses, tunics, coats and jackets while they trod the catwalk in fine spindly heeled shoes. The collection treated us to a fine array of A-line sleeveless coats, big pockets fronting belted jackets and nipped in waists. Outfits were in shades of purples, greys, khakis, wine, shiny blues, mustard and black. The range left me with a feeling of sophisticated but chic warmth.

British designer Gareth Pugh gave a new meaning to shape-wear with his Paris fashion Week show. He cut some remarkable jackets and dresses in black leather for those who love to wear it. As always, with Mr Pugh, the catwalk was a stage for outfits which seemed to come from another futuristic dimension. It’s a world where the inhabitants have a tremendous amount of style, dressed in frivolity-free but dramatic creations. Some items looked a little ferocious but in a good way.
