When Karl is at his best


Grand Palais was replaced with an all white room when Chanel held its haute Couture show for spring 2009. All the dresses were either in white or in black, the true colors of Chanel. An all white collection sounds a bit like an exercise in clinical minimalism, but in a very nice and elegant way, without any one thinking of dentist clinic. Actually it was very refreshing and like a breeze of spring. Just what we need. 
Very simple silhouettes started the show with a lot of A-shaped dresses, very sixties, but very clean and beautiful. Jackie O' would have been proud. Perhaps we will soon se Michelle Obama in one of these outfits. I wouldn't be surprised. Together with every outfit came an outstanding hair bands with white flowers in organza and cellophane. I really liked this collection. But I always like Chanel's couture show, because it's so worked trough and always catches the spirit of Chanel.
