RUNWAY REPORT.....Chanel Resort 2017/2018

10 Books Kim Kardashian's , 100 PLACES TO SHOP FOR PLUS SIZE CLOTHING – PART 2 , 1001 Grams , 10th Annual Art of Television Costume Design Exhibition

WHAT: Chanel Resort 2017/2018. Karl Lagerfeld is known to present his Cruise collections for the house of Chanel in some fabulous far-flung destination. This time, he remained right at home. Lagerfeld presented his Chanel Cruise 2017/2018 inspired by Greece...not in Greece, but instead at the Grand Palais in Paris, where he re-created the temple of Poseidon (naturally!). Reportedly, he said he couldn't find a place in Greece he liked (I doubt that!). The collection--entitled "The Modernity of Antiquity"--channeled ancient Greece, a topic that was of specific fascination to Coco Chanel--she designed the costumes for Jean Cocteau's "Antigone" in the 1920's.

SEEN ON THE RUNWAY: Powder blues, delicate rose pinks; strappy gladiator sandals/heels, knotted ties; gold accents; "Grecian Goddess' sculptural dresses; drop-waist; blouson shapes; gathered details; oversized tops, coats; "Ancient Greece" prints; gold braided headdresses/crowns. Think Jackie Onassis in Skorpios. Relaxed and luxurious Resort Chic for a very, very rich woman.
