Paris Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Chanel

The house of Chanel has gone back to its roots. The carousel-ignited runway was awash with varicolored tweeds, black, denim, chains, and knits — quintessential Chanel. And there were all shades and treatments of Karl's favorite color: black tweed, black leather, black knits, black stockings, black jeweled berets. But, Karl never lets black bore.

To shake things up — and to keep catering to the youthquake of Hollywood, including show attendees, the Olsens — minis were every which where. As well, a rubberized leather dress and Matisse-like patterned vinyl brought a bit of the '80s back to the Chanel runway. The finale dresses even showed some leg and texture, and had dramatic cascading capes. All, will keep the drama-hungry youth happy.

To see what's in store for Chanel this Fall and to see a video of the show, read more.

    Someday I'll have a Chanel suit.

    And white tights are flattering on no one except Alice in Wonderland!

    OMG I'm loving this. This is the best Chanel collection that I've seen in some time. Good job Karl, I knew you won't let me down with this collection. Even if your Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld collections were not your best I forgive you Smiling

    "The house of Chanel has gone back to its roots. The carousel-ignited runway was awash with varicolored tweeds, black, denim, chains, and knits — quintessential Chanel."

    That describes practically every Chanel show EVER! The sets and such are always cool, but this one collection I don't await with baited breath because it's always just same old same old as far as I'm concerned.

    And you're right about white tights fleurfairy, though I did think Blair Waldorf fairly rocked them in Gossip Girl!
