Chanel: It’s all in the Details

With the U.S. economy being half a mess and everone feeling all cautious, it’s not surprising that the runways are pulling back, too (Alexander McQueen’s wealthy-lil-Goth girl show excepted). As such, we’ve been looking, readers, trust me, and we haven’t seen a whole lot from the fall 2008 runways to write about. Sure, the clothes being shown on the French runways are GORGEOUS, but that’s nothing new. This time around the inspiration is all in the details, case in point Chanel:

^^Not sure how I feel about the raincoat, but the two-tone stockings are kick-ass and the way they match up with the shoes is what makes the Chanel name such a hot property on Canal Street.

^^Textured stockings are probably gonna be a big deal this fall, but I just like how arresting this shot is–everything is black but the play of texture, tone and proportion make it amazing.

^^I’m into clutches these days and I like how this one adds some dash to the collection

There’s a couple more shots from the show if you click to the right

Thanks!
