It seems that inspiration has never been a problem for Karl Lagerfeld. And for the Summer 2011 collection, he was inspired by the 60’s movie “Last Year at Marienbad”. Coco Chanel was the one who designs the clothing for the female character of the film, and now decades later it became the theme for a whole collection.

The setting was breathtaking! The runway was a black and white garden that some were saying to be identical to the one in “Last Year at Marienbad” – I confess that I have not seen this movie.

The collection had plenty of lace, chiffon, distressed pieces, degrades, floral and all the delicious things that make us fell like powerful princesses.
All the shows at the fashion week are fabulous and inspiring, but Chanel always goes above and beyond and leave us in ecstasy all the time

This fashion show was my first Chanel runway, and naturally, I was enchanted – and I still am!
The Grand Palais is much more majestic than any pictures can tell. As we got in, large white panels were hiding the catwalk adding mystery to what lays behind it ( even though the cold was giving us a clue). And as the show started we were astonished by gigantic icebergs, with models dragging their fake fur and chiffon dresses in the water. The show had fabulous light effect, jewelry and some hard to describe energy.
To make everything even better, I not only was invited to the show but also had the pleasure of visit Chanel apartment. The traditional 31 Rue Cambon is everything that you dream of, and a little bit more, the place is divine, and it was a dream come true to me.
