CHANEL S/S 2012

Beneath the majestic glass domes of the Grand Palais, Karl Lagerfeld transported us into an all-white underwater kingdom as he revealed his flawless S/S 2012 RTW collection.

Models adorned in luminous pearls, sea-soaked pastels and iridescent fabrics emerged from a giant sea anemone onto a catwalk transformed into an impeccable white seabed garnished with shells, coral reef, silhouettes of seahorses, bubbles and twirling seaweed. 

"I was inspired by the movement of seaweed, its lightness, and by certain fish that have very modern shapes, like sting rays," says Lagerfeld.

But King Karl's aquatic underworld was not complete without the gorgeous flame-haired Florence Welch, resembling a modern day Ariel, serenading the crowd from a giant white clam-shell.

What I really love about this uber chic collection is the way in which Lagerfeld has created haute couture designs that are both practical and wearable.


Evidently, no one puts on a show quite like Karl Lagerfeld.

STREET CHIC: PARIS IS BURNING

It might be Fall in the Northern Hemisphere, but the weather in Paris has been unseasonably hot with temperatures soaring into the high 20s.

The brutal heat has prompted the majority of the fashion crowd to ditch their winter ensembles and give their summer pieces some extra wear. 

As Paris Fashion Week (#PFW) continues, it is clear that style is not only confined to the runway, as enviably dressed fashionistas strut down the boulevards of the City of Light in outfits that radiate effortless elegance.

I've spent the last hour scouring the web for the ultimate Parisian street-style inspiration, and have picked out some of my favourite looks for your viewing pleasure.
