Hello lovelies,

Tropical blooms were bursting on Chanel's spring/summer 2015 haute couture catwalk inside the vast Grand Palais space a rather intimate hot house had been erected and was the home to a white paper garden filled with dormant flora.

But thanks to a very handsome green-thumbed gardener in a broad-brimmed hat who, with his trusty watering can, walked around the central arrangement sprinkling the set with invisible H2O, the flower bed finally opened into vibrant exotic blooms.Conversely, all the flower-embellished daywear attire in this collection did not feel as if it had alighted in Paris from some far-off vacation destination. Instead the brightly colored skirt suits that opened the show, their more youthful crop top fuller skirted offshoots, and a smattering of pencil skirt alternatives all looked like they could survive, and even thrive, outside a climate-controlled environment.

The same could not be said of the beautifully embellished event ensembles designer Karl Lagerfeld concocted,and i simply adore him .It was as if the horticulturalist of this haute couture garden had misdiagnosed the dosage of his fashion fertilizer this season. Daywear had hardy wardrobe staying power. I   absolutely liked this show.

                                                                      

                                                                  I hope you loved the show,too.

                                                                         Hugs and Kisses,

                                                                                Azra Yates
