Twisted Chanel

I'm not the most fashionable of people, I don't have any designer clothes, I don't follow fashion or know many fashion houses. Marc Jacobs will always be my favourite simply because of his use of my favourite photographer with his adverts (Juergen <3) but I know Chanel, and when I stumbled across an article about some of Karl Lagerfeld's latest work, I was inspired to add some extra twists. Images taken for use from The Guardian (thankyou and sorry).

1
He'd chosen heavens as the backdrop for his latest collection and it took builders five days to construct the Air Chanel plane which looks really cute and quaint with the clothing making references to 60's airline workers and strongly using one of my favourite colours-blue, the colour of sky aww airline- I get it!!

2
The theme was also reflected in the (what are apparently) signature Chanel skirt-suits given a retro air hostess makeover with wide, bateau collars and a duck-egg blue palette which I stole for some extra twists with my collages.

3
For me, the hair and makeup were just as brilliant as the clothing...

I'm definately going to start wearing a bit more blue (this summer fashion seems awfully colourful overally, but I can manage a tiny bit of blue, maybe..). And now I really want to go on an airplane off to somewhere cute like Paris.. thanks Chanel.

    1. He is, and I wouldn't like Marc Jacobs as much if the adverts weren't so unique. The recent ones with Helena Bonham Carter were amazing!!

  4. Did you watch the BBC series 'Pan Am' about 60s air hostesses? If you liked the chanel collection you will LOVE this program! I also love what you did to the pictures...

    2. I thought Pan Am was an American show? Or is there a British one as well? The US one's got Christina Ricci and she's absolutely gorgeous in it! That show is amazing, fashion inspiration wise. (but the plot's not that great haha)

  9. You always inspire me to be more creative Caitlin! Your little multimedia pieces are so fun - the one with the swirls is def my favourite. I actually really liked the whole theme for this Chanel collection, as I'm not always a fan of Largerfeld's work. It was nicely thought out. Do you know Rodarte? I think you'd like their clothes (whole last collection was inspired by Van Gogh) - ooh, and Charlotte Taylor has amazing, quirky prints (like elephants and red ants and things). Just some suggestions!
