Catwalk Catch-up: Chanel Resort 2012


Where do we start? What a fabulous collection; and it was 100% well worth the wait. Karl Lagerfeld's latest show took place on the glamorous French Riviera yesterday, with all the hottest Chanel celeb-faves in attendance. Blake Lively and Rachel Bilson, two of Uncle Karl's leading ladies of the moment were there showing their support, and showcasing some gorgeous Chanel looks of their very own. So many of the hottest models were walking too; Abbey Lee Kershaw, Karlie Kloss, Natasha Poly (to name but a few...)





There were so many memorable looks from the collection, but the ones that stood out the most were the ones that reminded the audience of a certain Royal Wedding. Do you think Her Majesty the Queen took styling tips from Uncle Karl prior to the big day, or was it the other way round? Either way, the show opened with some lovely yellow numbers which were reminiscent of the Queen's wedding outfit. But Her Majesty's look wasn't the only one to take inspiration from the collection. The bridalwear had more than a few hints of some of the aforementioned wedding attire displayed. The slimline, straight cut dresses were very Pippa Middleton, whilst the lace was of course reminiscent of Kate Middleton's gorgeous dress. 





But we are not for one second insinuating that Karl Lagerfeld has drawn inspiration from other designers and has left the signature Chanel style off the latest runway. The rest of the collection screamed classic Chanel - in fact we think the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may have postponed their honeymoon just so they could pack some last-minute Chanel gear in their suitcases. No? Either way, the collection does seem fit for a princess, Duchess or anyone that exudes style. There were hints of vintage, forties inspired pieces in the collection, and the holiday-wear is exceptional - who wouldn't love to rock up on a beach wearing the latest and greatest Chanel Resort? 




We've managed to pick a few favourites from the collection, but make sure to check out style.com for the whole collection - it's definitely worth it.
