On Tuesday, Chanel's fashion show set up a spectacular forest trail, like Karl Lagerfeld's rural village in Hamburg. These trees are rented from a company in the Normandy region. After the conference, they will be recycled and processed to make furniture or other objects. When Lagerfeld saw the finished set, he only realized what the trees reminded him of.
Memories. In recent years, his best two conferences - this season, and the Metiers D'Art early autumn series held in Hamburg - have been due to his peaceful coexistence with his past. He satirized the speculation that the so-called "falling leaves": "I don't think so, I'm not a leaf." But how can a slender figure, dark tone, and sad emotions not be December's burger? Between custom-made rigorous rigour, there is an undisguised, candy-like sweetness. Unlike what Lagerfeld instinctively will do. "I like the emotion of Hamburg," he said. "It's more like me. I understand now. I'm not a southerner after all. I'm from the north. I didn't realize it when I was young. Now I know it."
Well, Lagerfeld from the north presents a fall/winter fashion collection that respects winterwear: open jackets, parka coats, down jackets, and tweed long coats, and the hem melts out exploding colored lines. He said that this length and proportion is his special heart. "What you see is what I like. I didn't want to do anything very commercial." Knitted apparel woven into the dark flash. Knitted fur is not really spliced ​​(Chanel does not use genuine leather), but the rich sense of thickness is more true than pearls. Dark deciduous jacquard adds another layer of sadness.
However, Lagerfeld added a layer of fascinating thin lurex gold and silver thread brocade to all the apparel, as well as some unnamed fabrics. Perhaps this is his recognition of this temptation of grief. The trees are bare and night falls... No, it's really obvious. Karl also put his models on red and bright pink scarves, wearing pink, orange and red fingerless opera gloves. Some kind of optimistic provocation.
In spite of this, he recommended me to Carl Jung's work on melancholy. There are two volumes in the upper and lower volumes, and the appendix is ​​almost filled with one volume. Lagerfeld made it clear that I am not the kind of person who can read two books.
