Channel your inner Chanel

Karl Lagerfeld put together yet another stunning Cruise collection for Spring 09. The models paraded down a custom runway laid over the pool at the Raleigh Hotel in South Beach, Miami. How utterly perfect. Chanel is one of the few fashion houses that have mastered the art of staying true to their brand while constantly innovating and modernizing their looks. While a little out of the common price range, rest assured that fashion trickles down from the runways so you can expect other labels to be following suit. Good news!

Pay special attention to new twists to the classic Chanel pieces, new materials, and more menswear inspired elements (our personal favorites!). 

She looks so vintage but so modern at the same time...

Menswear inspired pieces. We hope this trend continues and transcends into more elements of women's fashion. 

Check the shoes, yeeeow!

A new twist on the classic Chanel tweed jacket...

Vinyl (??) used as trim...awesome. 

I don't understand this. The Chanel man is still lost!
