Post Paris VIII

A false encyclopaedic guide to the prêt-à-porter collections for Spring/Summer 2012.
Eighth chapter: Chanel

1. Chanel Spring/Summer 2012
2. Richard Avedon for Versace
3. Axolotl

I was pleasantly surprised by the supercooled modernity of the collection by Monsieur Karl. Most probably due to the appearance of techno mermaids. Dipped in metallic silver and glossy white. Wearing strapless gill tops and pearl piercings.

Top Leigh Lezark in Chanel Fall/Winter 2009
Bottom Jeremy Scott Spring/Summer 2010

Advanced wrestling suits. For the eternal gender fight. You'll have to scream if you want this series to stop. But in this game No means Yes. And Yes means No. Till nobody wins. Till the world ends.

Chanel Pre-Fall 2011

Unexpectedly it finally happened: I like Chanel. The luxurious, overboard, baroque, all-over embellished and jewelized. The twin-set becomes a trinket. Ich habe es nicht erwartet.

A Short History Of Twins In Popular Culture II

1. Comme des Garçons
2. Issey Miyake
3. Carla Bruni & Kate Moss
4. Pamela Anderson, her twin boobs & Vivienne Westwood
5. Twin Towers
6. Jose & Juan Areco, Brian & Travis Davenport by Thom Browne, Dean & Dan Caten
7. “Chanel Liquidated” by Zevs

There is a striking yet explosive resemblance between the Vivienne Westwood SS09 campaign image and the photographic documentation of the 9/11 incident. I'm not gonna compare Pamela's boobs with planes now... Anyway, what's your favourite twin?

Ennui

Sunday boredom leads me to luxury window shopping. This time I didn't even recognize what was displayed in the windows. All that caught my attention was the logotype. Here in random repetition.

Man I Feel Like A Woman

Chanel Advertising Campaign June 1998

Nowadays Chanel might appear ultra feminine. Little costumes, white blouses, Claudia Schiffer, frills and pearls. At the same time, Coco was a revolutionary, introducing pants to the ladie's wardrobe and dressing women for success.

I would say today is time for luxury shopping!
