- Story Text: Lagerfeld/ Chanel unveils 2005 Spring and Summer Haute Couture collection in Paris German designer Karl Lagerfeld presented classic Chanel haute couture looks at the Ateliers Berthier in Paris on Tuesday (January 25, 2005).
Inspired by the 18th century, Lagerfeld unveiled a collection called "French Garden".
With black and white but also candy pink and pale green as the main colour palette, Lagerfeld sent out sparkling tweed suits with t-shirts and tank tops in two different embroideries and round skirt and short jacket with elbow length sleeves in black, light tweed over white washed satin blouse with cuffs. Models paraded with "Robe danser" (dance dress) in pale pink laundered faille with pleated skirt and three embroidered "Pompadour" bows or slip dress and short jacket in white tweed bordered with black and white braid.
The detailing was superb and the embroidery was impeccable, one of thereasons why Chanel haute couture continues to be profitable when other houses see red on their bottom line.
Wearable, classic and always beautiful, the Chanel's suit timeless quality makes it a favorite among the approximately 1,500 couture clients.
Everything was perfect even the make-up : models paraded with porcelain skin, pink cheeks and dark eyebrows.
As for the accessories, Lagerfeld used white feather wig hats, pinned with a porcelain flower jewel set with cut stones like the bracelets.
Lagerfeld, who recently designed a sell-out line for high street retailer H&M, used acres of his trademark black chiffon to craft dramatic evening gowns that caught the attention of actress Joely Richardson, the star of the plastic surgery television drama "Nip/Tuck" . - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
