// CHANEL COUTURE SPRING 2010 \\

Day Two

Karl Lagerfeld was overheard at his front-row seat at Dior Homme on Saturday, quite generously hinting at what we could expect from the eagerly anticipated Chanel Couture Spring 2010 show. Lagerfeld revealed only two clues & they were “Two words: neon - baroque,”. 

I can now reveal how this hint, translated into the classic Chanel style that we all have come to know & love so well.
Well going from the following updates on Twitter, from various different fashion elite sources - Chanel basked in luminous pastels, opening the show in white, cream, and dove grey boucle suits with culottes followed by ruffles, gorgeous cloud pastel tones, new silk-satin shifts, dreamy chiffon's, new stitching methods that erased seams & more pale pastels teamed with silver stockings were but a few themes that the leading fashion house, Chanel presented to us.
An all round truly breathtaking show.....

Here are the tweet pics that have come in to date but I will post more from the show as soon as they come through

Day One

Pick of the Day: Christian Dior

Today we saw John Galliano for Christian Dior kicking off Haute Couture Spring 2010 in none other than the fashion capital of Paris of course.

And he certainly did not disappoint as his collection took on a roller-coaster of different trends & inspirations for all to revel in. 
From equestrian to the gibson girl look, with a sense of period drama to many of the clothes. But apart from all the amazing pieces, it was the jewellery & hair that really caught my eye.

In parts the hair styles just had to have been inspired by Cruella de Ville (& I know your thinking how on earth did they manage to get the black netted snoods looking the size of soccer balls, well here's an insider secret for you: It was a Balloon) & the jewellery draped from the models frames like magnificent gigantic like chandeliers.

Towards the end (my favourite part of the show) when the collection moved into an array of extravagant cocktail dresses, Galliano showed us a more romantically inspired side with his fantastical cocktail dresses draped in a blanket of all the current trends including lace, tulle & nude colours. Other colours we saw running through the show as well were violets, fuchsia, petrol blues, sapphires, olives & mocha mixed with raspberry.

Anyway I will let you form your own opinion as you can view the entire collection here at Style.com.

But for now here are a few my top picks from Paris Haute Couture Spring 2010's first runway show.
