Chanel Dresses, Part II

by on April 24, 2008

I didn’t post these ones the other day — too many dresses! Anyway, here are a few of the other ones. I found Chanel dresses to be very hit-and-miss this year, (but maybe I always do and just forget each season) but maybe that’s just high fashion for you. I now present the remaining Chanel Dresses worth buying from SS08!

At this point, the collection takes on a more gothic, streetwise appearance. That would be the dark colours and ubiquity of chains kicking in. Interestingly enough, chains were a favourite of Chanel. She liked to weave metal chainlink through with lace or leather: a look still seen today (but often really shoddily executed). All I have to say about the silver boots is… Look out, Eastern Europe. And maybe Tokyo. The boots are definitely only for the daring (and from my experience with Ukraine and Russian, those girls are up for just about anything, fashion-wise. Even if it means teetering down cobblestone streets in 4 or 5 inch tall stilettos).

I am a big fan of the sheer black dress. A really big fan. Granted, if everyone wore this out and about, the magic would fade but who cares; it’s really cool! I can guarantee only a few people (again, see about re: the silver boots) are going to dare to wear this. If you’re looking for something a little classier and easier to pull off, I strongly suggest the cute navy dress with the bow. yay :D ! It will look good on you, I guarantee.

Again with the dark colours! All of these dresses are cool but I think the first one, the one with the navy that’s floor-length, is paticularly interesting. I like how it’s different – not for everyone, but still cool. I also think the second dress stands out in terms of originality, it plays on gothic influences, like some of the other dresses in the collection. Very cool.

Finally, these last two – nothing too special, but I really like how light & fluttery they are! Very spring/summer. And that’s that, these are *the* Chanel dresses for the season. Over and out!
