Pre-Fall 2011: Chanel

Meenal Mistry of style.com dubbed this collection “Granny Takes a Trip to Constantinople.” I can’t help but agree. The collection has some beautiful pieces trimmed and decorated in gold; however, they are all painfully prim and proper. Most of the models walked in flat, strappy sandals which irks me a bit, because what’s the point of a runway show if you can’t see models teeter in 7 inch heels? But I appreciate the model choices—Lindsey Wixson, Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Giabiconi were among those that walked in the show. The few men’s looks seemed out of place…rather than being quasi-Egyptian/Age of Empires exotic Mediterranean, they were half-Yuppie-half-Urban Outfitters-hipster-who-enjoys-wearing-man-sandals.

Oh, Karl. How we love you.

Does this collection make you want to be a Granny taking a trip to Constantinople? It kinda makes me want to.
