Chanel's Crystal Catwalk A/W 12

As usual I purchased my favourite weekly magazine yesterday, Look. I just find it such a great magazine brimming with fashion (and also the celebrity rubbish I have to admit I love...) As I flicked the to the first page I was absolutely amazed at what I sore... Not only was it Karl Lagerfeld's gorgeous new Autumn/Winter 2012 collection for Chanel at Paris Fashion Week, but it was presented in one of the most futuristic yet surreal ways I have ever seen. There was a skyline created out of enormous black, grey, white and amethyst crystals. The icy feel and white flooring contrasted superbly with the dark colour scheme of the collection. The crystal idea was most probably created to reflect the beautiful crystal studded decoration on the the pieces throughout, even on the models eyebrows! 

Chanel Autumn/Winter 2012

The creative crystal eyebrows fitted the set perfectly

The collection included three piece suits in tweed, shaved sheepskin jackets, velvet jeans with silver seams and my favourite, feathery metallic dresses, just to name a few.

Gorgeous feather detail dress

I love this beautiful fabric and print, and I
want that scarf!

I adore the colour of this chiffon shirt, and
really love the idea of having a see through
skirt over skinny jeans! (A bit too out-there
for me though!)

This shoulder encrusted details is absolutely
gorgeous! I also love the subtle pattern on the
dress. The shoes featured in all of the looks are
also very interesting, following the asymmetric trend.

I thought this show looked incredible and I believe it must have been an amazing to actually see it in person. Hopefully I'll be able to view a Chanel catwalk in person... Maybe one day! (Fingers tightly crossed!)
Thanks for reading,
