Chanel Haute Couture F/W 2010

The new Chanel Haute Couture collection is a pure pleasure for the eyes. Karl said this collection came to him in a nightmare (but he immediately added he was joking) and in a way we can see a little gloomier mood, but I strongly think that very few things could make a dream more blissful than these clothes (at least for me!).
An austere and strict style made of velvet and tweed clothes prevailed in the first part of the show and then it made room for more detailed and milder looks. There was an authentic play of proportions, which reaches its top with boleros on knee-length skirts, a sort of discipline meets boldness.
There's kind of a halo surrounding these incomparable and unattainable clothes in all their perfection that I'm sure I'll dream of them tonight and the nights after (and it won't be a nightmare, you bet).
