chanel couture spring 2012

"The key point in the presentation was a new fashion attitude. Its the sort of lip service notion to which designers often tip their caps, but in Lagerfeld's case, he delivered. How? By elongating his proportion even lower than dropped waist to thigh-top, so that when the models walked with their hands tucked in slash pockets, they looked, the designer said, 'like boys whose jeans are slipping off'. The boy/girl thing is a Chanel staple, and Lagerfeld has found a contemporary exemplar in Alice Dellal... Think of stretched-out necks and and pushed-up sleeves on sweatshirts and you've got other key components of the silhouette." - Tim Blanks
