This was the most stunning piece from Chanel. She's drizzled in sequins and the inside of the cape looks like a controlled version of a drip painting. I also love the Amelia Earheart'esque head covering, its like she's sashaying down a airplane runway, about to take flight.
If I had to buy one look from this collection it would be this short sequin dress. I love the bows on the shoulders and the draping cape makes it look less like a Paris Hilton party dress and more elegant and fit for somebody like Queen Rania.
There were 2 versions of this jigsaw dress. The other one grazed the gravel with a little tulle at the bottom and looked like something a mermaid would wear if she was visiting above the water for a day. I like this style especially because of the bunched leather leggings.
N.B. You my dear can probably never pull off leather leggings. But if you have the build of a model or the attitude of one, start looking for a pair. You'll probably have to wriggle into them, laying on your bed and pinching your eyes (and belly) so hard you'll start to tear, but paired with a lacey or more demure top, you'll look like a sexy rockstar, kind of like Kate Moss at Glastonbury (PVC leggings, the woman is superhuman)
What I love about this look is the length added onto the tweed coat. This jacket would look perfect with a skirt (something a first lady might wear...obviously not Laura Bush, someone more on the lines of Cécilia Sarkozy) or with ripped skinny jeans (like an Olsen twin).
I just love the universality of Chanel and the multitude of ways her look has been reinterpreted by Lagerfeld and the women who absorb the style in their own distinct way.
