Chanel Paris Fashion Week - Fall/Winter 2011

Chanel's Fall Winter 2010/2011 Show was amazing, with the models walking on the runway alongside an iceberg. And it was not just any iceberg, Karl Lagerfeld imported a 265-ton iceberg from the northern reaches of Sweden to Paris' Grand Palais to creating an expensive and highly elaborate set especially for the show.

The theme of the collection was the global warming or ‘the global cooling’ as Karl Lagerfeld called it.

.

The other great thing about the show was, all the fur used the whole Autumn/Winter collection was faux, right down to those monstrous snow boots. We love when a designer spares animal cruelty.

We want to see Karl Lagerfield design a great non-leather accessories collection next.


Like always, the collection was amazing feminine and classy. Accessories were perfect. Jewelry was very similar to little pieces of ice, sparkling and mysterious.

.

.
She was the one who gave birth to the most stylist and versatile 'Little Black Dress' and she is supposed to be the inventor of fashion jewellery. She liked to mix imitation jewels with real jewels and often combined massive amounts with sportswear. She never overloaded her clothes with useless details.

To get her covetable style think LBD, quilted bags, classic jacket, cardigan, pearls.

Look 1 - Little Black Dress

- Black Pleat Dress for £120 from Austin Reed
- Chanel Crystal Rose Necklace for $284
- Quilted Cream Clutch for £18 from Miss Selfridge

.
Look 2 - Cardigan

You can exude Chanel's style by wearing a cardigan with contrasting trims or a smart tweed cardi. You can wear it with a string of pearls and a pair of heels for a sophisticated look, or pair with jeans to smarten up a causal look.

1. Contrast cardigan for £29 from Mango
2. Tweed Jacket for £49 from Promod
3. Highgate Cardigan for £65 by Elizabeth Lau from koodos
4. Black and White Cardigan for £29.5 from Marks and Spencer
5. Navy and Cream Cardigan for £35 from Miss Selfridge

Audrey Tautou - Classic yet Modern

.
Audrey Tautou, the French Actress who starred in the movie The Da Vinci Code, looks effortless chic at the Coco Avant Chanel Rome Premiere in her demure navy, black and white cutout dress. The silhouette of her dress looks very classy yet modern evoking innocence and youth. The black belt tied on her small waist looks absolutely gorgeous. Love her style. This French lady is also the new face of the iconic Chanel No. 5 Perfume.
.
Isn't she looking much younger and fresh post The Da Vinci Code? Pretty and Lovely comes to my mind looking at her recent pictures. I even liked her in the Vinci movie, and her accent was so cute. What say?

Camilla Belle

Camilla Belle

.
Camilla Belle, the 22-year old American Actress who starred in the movie 10,000 BC, looked absolutely stunning and chic in a white polka-dot minidress at the luncheon of recently opened Gucci store in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The stylish actress was head-to-toe clad in Gucci for the brand's launch. She cinched the waist of her chic dress with a wide patent belt, paired it with a matching black python clutch, accessorised it with Gucci black PVD twirl watch with black diamonds and added a pop of colour to her black and white ensemble with cherry-red Sofia pumps fom Gucci's Cruise 2009 Collection. Her look reminds me of Demi Moore in polka dot (navy) dress matched with red pumps atBerlin Film Festival, click here to view pictures.
.
Polka dots are hot this season. They are so girly, flirty and perfect choice for spring/summer. I am absolutely loving the way Camilla has pulled the look together. You like? Leave you comments.

Later in the evening, she changed in a dazzling aqua-beaded cowl-neck blouse with embellished skirt (again all Gucci). This look is the same a presented on the runay from Gucci Fall 2009 Collection minus the shoes. Though I don't care for the dress much, esp the skirt, but Camilla is looking absolutely stunning.
.
This girl seems to be a Gucci fan, she even wore Gucci at the premiere of her movie 10,000 B.C. Well, if I were to choose the brand ambassador for Gucci, Camill Belle would be my first choice.

Julia Roberts - The Pretty Woman

This pretty woman is looking absolutely stunning in this chic white cocktail sheath by Dolce and Gabbana, which she topped off with a classic black cardigan (from D&G). Her tussled blonde locks and soft understated makeup adds style and chic to her look. I totally love this gorgeous lady and love her movies too.

Victoria Beckham - The Classic Look

.

Victoria Beckham catching a Flight at Heathrow, London

.
Talking of chic and not mentioning Victoria Beckham would be a shame. Victoria Beckham, the 35 years old fashionista, is famous for her chic and classy style. The lady is always immaculately dressed, even if she's just coming out from a long haul flight. In the above picure (photographed at Heathrow International Airport) she is dressed to her best in a pair of skinny jeans, a black V-neck blouse, a chic black jacket with emphasized shoulders and her favourite Hermes Bag.
.

Victoria Beckham is one loyal Hermes customer, she loves all things Hermes and Hermes bags are her fav for travelling. She is rarely not spotted in Hermes while travelling. I’ve always agreed that a handbag completes the outfit, and Victoria’s choice in bags does this well.
If you would notice the picture closely, you'll see that Posh was wearing flats inside the Heathrow Airport while coming out of the terminal, but while getting out from the airport she switched to a pair of stilettos. Well the lady has some fetish for stilettos.

.

Victoria Beckham at LA International Airport

.
Another airport look of Victoria Beckham at LAX, Los Angeles International Airport. She's looking impeccable as ever in the black satin tunic paired with black tights, YSL pumps, an oversized bag (am surprised this time its not Hermes) and a gold Rolex Watch.

.
I really like her style - classy and chic, something that never goes out of fashion. Black is her favourite pick, mine too. You can almost never go wrong with Black.
'Victoria on what it takes to look fabulous like her: "Whether you've got £20 to spend in Top Shop or £2,000 to spend at Gucci, looking good isn't about money, it's about style - and style never goes out of fashion." ' (Source).

.

Check out more pictures of Posh, dressed up for the airport. One thing common in all her Airport Ensembles, below, is chic and impeccability.

.

(I had been thinking of writing a post on how to dress for the airport/travel in style, but for now we'll do with the below pictures of Posh)
