Chanel x Resort 2014

Hello...My Fashion Lovers :)

Last week the extraodiare Karl Lagerfield decided to unveil the Chanel Resort collection in Dubai, on a  lavish private island on the 13th of May 2014. We all know he likes to do this over the top and this in my opinion is by far the most over the top event, like who rents a whole island just for a fashion show well Chanel did and they set the standard by far and defiantly the most valuable invite ever. I would have given my right lung just to crack that guestlist.

The Chanel Resort 2015 Show unfurled at dusk in a gold-and-glass structure, which was constructed just for this event and boasted a lattice of woodwork that held the Chanel logo in the traditional style of mashrabiya windows. Outside, the man-made island was blanketed in romantic candles and shisha tents, giving view to the incredible skyline of Dubai. Its roof supported by a forest of artificial palms, on a man-made island offering a view of one of the most futuristic skylines in the world.  “With the highest building, I thought there was a reason to show the highest fashion, ha-ha-ha-ha,” Lagerfield said during a fitting.

The show was kept very traditionally as to how the Arabs do things, the show began at dusk, and was the embodiment of Arabian Nights–the venue laden with cushions and low lantern-lit tables to reflect the relaxed Arab-style Majlis seating.

The collection is sheer luxury and exudes fashion-forward bohemian glamour with harem pants, hair brooches, mirrored accessories and nail-less gloves which of cause will be trending next summer.

I loved the satin pointy flats, abayah styled layers and obviously the gold quilted petrol can bag like who would have thought of such

I am sure that you loving this amazing collection

Thank you for reading and have a loving evening
