<\/a><\/p>\n Yesterday saw Karl Lagerfeld welcome his guests to the Grand Palais in a d\u00e9cor evoking a 20th century Parisian apartment, for the Chanel Haute Couture AW14 show.<\/p>\n Whilst the d\u00e9cor orchestrated an encounter between Le Corbusier and Versailles, the materials in the collection came as a surprise. From laminated lace to neoprene and concrete, the unexpected materials were made feminine by the addition of chiffon, tulle, tweed and organza, creating a modern quintessentially Chanel silhouette.<\/p>\n A continuation of the unconventional, structured dresses and spherical skirts were met by matching \u201ccycling shorts \u00e0 la fran\u00e7aise<\/i>\u201d peeping from beneath, cut just above the knee, whilst models wore \u201cdes tongs tr\u00e8s chic<\/i>\u201d on their feet \u2013 aka. very chic flip-flops. Right angled shoulders, corseted waists and fabric draped body engulfing cages also made an appearance in a palette of rouge, rusts and gold\u2019s contrasted by a secondary colour way of sky blue and concrete.<\/p>\n For evening wear it was all about long empire dresses with trains; others look like clouds, frothing with feathers enclosed in tulle. Karl Lagerfeld shakes up conventions with a \u201cseamless Haute Couture\u201d, where the jackets and coats are made from a single piece, cut on the bias.<\/p>\n Lagerfeld has delivered us with a new visionary interpretation of Haute Couture and an impressive one at that.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Concrete,\u00a0\u201ccycling shorts\u00a0\u00e0 la fran\u00e7aise\u201d and\u00a0\u201cdes tongs tr\u00e8s chic\u201d.\u00a0Lagerfeld has delivered us with a new interpretation of Haute Couture<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":33276,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9418],"tags":[5097,822,5783],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
