But I digress, this post is less about another K-named member of the Kardashian clan, and more about another K, Karl. When It comes to Karl Lagerfeld and his Chanel shows you never know what to expect. Lagerfeld season to season, haute couture to ready to wear, changes it up so every show is a new delight. 

With Lagerfeld's latest installment he ditched the theatrics, and the heels. The show was tamed and much simpler in comparison to walking down a supermarket runway. There was not a single heel in sight as the models all adorned bowed thong sandals or flat boots. 

The collection was a delight, the tweed we envision when the name Chanel is stated was present, as well as furs, (a wool/cashmere blend?) and intricate beading. What I found specifically interesting was that many of the dresses and jackets had shorts adorned underneath. For the dresses I think it's a lovely separate to include, it enhanced many of them and added another dimension. With the coats I loved the way that shorts played around with the longer silhouette. It made a cold look, look very spring which sounds odd, but it looked quite lovely. 

The best looks I believe were all the intricately beaded white ensembles. They reminded me of a fanciful wedding ceremony, with the bridesmaids and guests all following the bride in their own variation of a white hot look.
