Papa Karl, You Did Good...

Paris Fashion Week. Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. One week that should be in every girls' diaries.

Haute Couture isn't an item of clothing. It's a piece. Something that is bespoke, one of a kind, creative, detailed, high quality, and most incredibly, hand-sewn. Hours upon hours are spent, and excruciatingly extreme attention to detail is paid by the most experienced and patient seamstresses in the world. Magic.

Every season, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel amazes and entices the imaginations of millions of onlookers with collections that are like no other.

This season, Papa Karl did not disappoint. Set in the Grand Palais in central Paris, against a backdrop of a romantic Midsummer Nights' Dream forest along with soothing bird songs, Chanel's Haute Couture SS13 collection was jaw-dropping.

The Face.

Chanel, of course with the most wonderful lace eyelashes. Dreamy...


The Show.

Feather, lace and tulle. Embroidered sequins, beads and chiffon. Look, just look at the detail!! Lagerfeld stated '“It takes 2,000 hours to make just one of those dresses,”. Amazing. There literally are no words!


The Finish.

To top off, Lagerfeld showed his support for the legalization of gay marriage in France by sending two models down a catwalk wearing couture bridal gowns, accompanied by his uber cute pageboy nephew!


Chanel wipes the floor clean with no competition coming close when it comes to couture, and he certainly proved that with this show that came to him 'in a dream'. The mind, imagination, creative thinking, and vision makes this show one that people will be talking about for a very long time.
