Chanel on Aisle 4: Fall 2014 RTW

“If you want to look really ridiculous, you go in stilettos in a supermarket.”  – Karl Lagerfeld

The Grand Palais was transformed into a 139,930-square-foot Chanel shopping centre. Complete with shelf upon shelf of Chanel transformed products, including:

  • coconuts (‘Lait de Coco’)
  • packets of Chanel toast stamped with the interlocking CC logo
  • Chanel teas (‘Little Black Tea’, ‘Very Early Grey’)
  •  Chanel doormats (‘Mademoiselle Prive’)
  • Chanel feather dusters
  • Chanel rubber gloves (labeled ‘So Chic’)
  • a Chanel chainsaw 
  • Also, a cheese stall (giant wheels of parmesan), vegetables, dairy products, mountains of tins of caviar, wines, spirits, olive oil. 

The collection was smart and sporty. Filled with pops of exuberant colors and shapes that stood out among the market shelves.  Continuing from the Chanel couture collection last month, all the models feet were donned in trainers, this time crafted out of classic Chanel tweeds and exotic skins. Because as Lagerfeld explains it, “If you want to look really ridiculous, you go in stilettos in a supermarket.” 

This collection included nods to classic Chanel as well as playful contemporary notes;  timeless tweed coats, legging-style trousers, leather opera gloves, baggy metallic trousers, and the chain link necklaces with oversized padlocks. This collection seems to be an attempt, on Lagerfeld’s behalf, to make a statement on fashion’s involvement in our everyday lives, just as the supermarket.

Oscar After Party Fashion

The red carpet didn’t stop at the Oscars, celebrities had a whole night ahead of them of flashing lights, and ‘who are you wearing?’ The fashion continues!

Oscar Dresses Throughout Time

Alright, so today feels like the best day to come out of hiding. I have been stuck in a world of extreme packing and roadtrips, and moving. My life is not settled yet by any means, but I am back, so in any case things are looking up!

So Happy Oscars Day! I am looking forward to all the glitz and glam tonight holds! I want to start the day off with a this amazing depiction of all the Oscar Dresses throughout time. Thanks to my friends Julie Van Huizen for turning me onto this, and to Mediarun: Digital Media for your creation. I hope this gets you into the spirit as it has me!

Get Jessica’s Easy/Edgy look {for less!}

Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba has such fantastic street style! I love this look with the varying hues of blue, edgy yet feminine. She created a perfect silhouette, voluminous on top, and keeping the bottom slim with a great pair of skinnies.

Ever since Target announced that its next collaboration would be with the british designer Peter Pilotto, we have all been dying to see what this collaboration would bring.

Well, wait no further! Peter Pilotto’s signature prints translated beautifully in this beachy collection. And the best news… very afforable! Most pieces are under $60. Most likely these pieces will go fast! Make sure you are first in line on February 9 to get the pieces you desire.

Lupita for the Win! {Once Again}

Once again she is a winner on the red carpet. The actress won a the Producers Guild of America Awards last night for her role in 12 Years a Slave. She looked perfect, as always, in this salmon Stella McCartney dress. I love this asymmetrical neckline, a detail I have been noticing on many of the red carpets.
