Chanel Spring 2009

Chanel's spring 2009 collection is immaculate. I did like their previous tweed faze, but this...this is the Chanel I love to see. It's all black and white(at least in the show), and everything has these beautiful clean, geometric lines, consistent with the perfectly tailored cuts that Chanel pulls off so well. There are a couple pieces that I'm a little iffy about, but only two or three that have this shinier black almost plastic looking material featured in the outfits. The collection was riddled with cropped jackets, round collars, defined shoulders, simply tiered layers, round mod buttons, tulle and beaded subtle little flowers and frills, lace contrasted with more modern materials, and utter fabulousness. The clothing was drenched in Chanel's classic class, but updated and innovated in ways that I have never seen Lagerfeld work before. Overall, it was clean, fresh, light; everything spring should be.
