Chanel 2016 Fall Couture: Something Exiciting!

Finally something exciting for me from Chanel! All these years I’ve seen Chanel the same way I see Manchaster United: respectable big old names. Chanel has been a respectable fashion house for their simpicity and timeless collection, yet also often about repetition. For me, Chanel is always about tweed jackets. Doesn’t matter how “inovative” Karl is, the star of the show, the trademark is always the tweed jacket. That for me, well, not always impressive. Yes, Karl always have this big vision for his show, a message, or a line up of a-list celebs playing pocker in a set-up casino. But that’s all it! The collection highlights are pretty much the tweed jackets.

But in this very couture collection Karl gives me something exciting. He finally gives me collection I can – will – remember. This 2016 Fall Couture Collection still brought that all time masterpiece: their very own tweed jacket. But unlike their dated collection, these are not the typical Chanel tweed jacket.

Presented with some kind of arm warmers, the tweed jacket appears differently than usual. They appears in more length, more padded, and more volume. Not only that, there were also plenty of red-carpet ready dresses. ALL BEAUTIFUL! Karl shows a collection with minimal cut yet luxurious. Minimal but not too much it becomes ready to wear, no. Also the night gowns shows you just a balanced amount of feminity yet still look strong with the bold cut, and monochrome colors. The kind of look we all love from Bellatrix Lestrange or the Brides Corps.

Yes, this show reminds me a lot of Tim Burton’s movies. Looking at these models struting out the runway with the some sort of messy bee-hive-esque hair, dolly make up, and extravagant with goth vibe wardrobe, I feel like looking at Tim Burton’s character coming out from movie screen and turn into models. I love this collection, kudos Karl both for Fendi’s and Chanel’s, but between the two I think I might like Chanel’s better for its quirkiness and different kind of Chanel vibe. - SIR

Atelier Versace 2016 Fall Couture: Dresses for Dangerous Women

There are no platform disco boots, nor ropes holding on the dresses together, but still this fall couture collection from Atelier Versace keeps me excited! It offers the minimalism that it had in the 2016 Spring Couture. To be exact, this collection seems like the reverse of the 2016 Spring Collection of this Italian couture house. Whilst the dated one were dominated with clean, geometric cut and white, the pieces in this collection show you the opposite. This collection is dominated with darker, warmer colors such as black and crimson along with a touch of pastel colors. The pieces are filled with curvy lines and pleats and drapes in just right amount to make it sensual without being too provocative.

Like I said, these are the exact opposite of the last spring couture of this couture atelier: like yin and yang, while the one is giving you more modern vibe, this other one is more classic. You see, while you looking through all the collection you’ll find some pieces that you know you’ll love forever. Those pieces that will be a vintage treasure, a collectible items other than just a mere trend: like the oversized lilac cashmere coat, the simple lavender slip dress with and oversized crimson coat, or the long sleeves red dress with sky blue lining.

Looking at this collection, I can see Mia Wallace wearing the first piece – the cashmere blush pink coat with one lapel dipping off showing a bare shoulder over a scarlet bustier - to go to fine dinner with Marsellus Wallace in Pulp Fiction setting. Or something that Mathilda from Leon The Professional wears to her prom. With high slit dresses and cashmere oversized coats you can expect the woman to hide a gun anywhere with her. These are the dresses made for those dangerously beautiful women out there. The pieces that was made to make you women feel as sensual as you are dangerous. -SIR
