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.
