So here's the deal. The majority of fashion press, by and large, has a high propensity for leniency when it comes to runway critique.
We aren't the majority of the fashion press.
Granted, things happen- Lindsay Lohan, for example. But I might as well get this one off my chest.
I wasn't terribly impressed with Karl Lagerfeld's S/S 2010 line.
Being Fashion God is a tough job- especially when you have your own line, Chanel, and 1/2 of Fendi to run and need to constantly churn out new ideas. At first glance, Karl Lagerfeld this season appears to largely be an assortment of rompers, shorts, and high-waisted skirts that have been dressed up and down for variety. Upon closer inspection, you realize that Karl is dressing his female alter-ego.
Like these gems.
The collection also featured some classic regurgitations of what one would expect to find in any Chanel showing.
All well designed. All perfectly wearable. Chic, but as a whole the collection felt uninspired and repetitive.
Let's just hope this runway suffered only because Karl has something spectacular up his sleeve for Chanel.
