Red Red Red Sewing the seeds of Love for Chanel


I think for me the one colour that transcends any season or weather in my wardrobe is RED. I love the colour, I love the word and I love that it exudes love in every heart.

I adore the fact that Karl Lagerfeld chose to bring some ladylike Red Glamour to his SS10 Ready to Wear collection. Although only one full outfit of red in its classic with a twist Chanel full suited glory but hints of the colour were evident in other outfits. A hint of red with shoes or on a stunning blossomed dress were great touches among the haystacked scenery. I especially loved the red drumkit used behind Lily Allens performance as she sang in a stunning feathered and metallic creation with fab Opaque and Sheer tights.
Styling details to focus on were ballet criss-crossed tights, garter illusion tights, draped necklaces with cascading beads and chains that fit nicely behind a classic Chanel jacket, intricate hair accessories, wooden block heels and classic Chanel handbags either across the body or in hand.
Mr Lagerfeld does it again by hitting the right notes with this collection covering many trends from Lace to Houndstooth to Grown up Florals. The collection was tied together nicely with Bardot-esqe beehive hair and natural porcelain doll-like make up.
