Moving right along, let's speak of this bran new Chanel collection, shall we? I saw it once and thought "what - is - this??!" Then i saw it a second time and thought "Well, i like SOME of it..." And the third time i was just torn. Do i like it or do i hate it... or are my mixed feelings reducing my reasoning to a nonchalent state? I must admit, i am quite confused: what is going on in this collection? Don't the denim pieces remind you of the Britney-Justin-all-jean-matching outfits the once couple wore at the mtv awards circa 2001? And don't the stars and stripes remind you of a bad rendition of the eponymic song? Or are they more so reminiscent of a tacky Jessica Simpson, whom Uncle Karl once pronounced himself "very unimpressed" with in a recent Harper's Bazaar interview? The usually effortless class that exudes from Chanel was eerily replaced with a generous portion of trashy and tawdry, all of which didn't seem to marry so well into the evolution of the fashion cycle. BUT (there is a but!), i'm only pronouncing myself in a short-term manner, because you never know. More often than not, collections are growers and we may not like them immediately, but they can become the next hits. I'm also alluding to the Prada collection, which was completely different from everything else we've seen, but who usually ends up setting the tone and most popular trends of the year following. We'll have to wait and see, obviously. Anyway, i am still revetting in the fall collections. I just can't get enough!
I am really confused/horrified when i see this:





But i am appeased whe i see this:
