Karl Lagerfeld delivered his Fall Couture 2007 line last week in Paris. Unlike Christian Dior's collection which was quite colourful, Chanel's collection focused on your more traditional fall colours of black, burgundy, plum, dark red, brown and some cream as an accent. We find lots of tailored jackets, leather, and the use of hats and caps. I thought there were going to be more women in pants so I was happily surprised when most of the looks were of women in skirt suits and dresses pairing the look with sheer black hosiery or thigh-high scrunched leather boots in burgundy or black.
The Hair/Accessories:
The models are seen sporting sleek pulled-back hair in bonnets, caps, feathers and/or clips. Feathers are popular in the hair, used in clips or used in scarves wrapped around their necks or to accentuate the cuff of the sleeve. Actually, there were quite a lot of bonnets but I think I will leave this look to the models.
The Makeup:
Let's break down the look:
We see flawless matt skin, nude matt lips with a hint of colour, lightly contoured soft-pink cheeks and light soft eye makeup which varies from being just a wash of colour to a light and soft smokey eye in grey and purple. Whimsical lashes are placed on the outer corners of each of the models eyes which created the most dramatic element in the look. I find this makeup to be very well done and easy to replicate at home (minus the false lashes, although they would be fun for a party).
I would have liked to see more colour on the lips such as a sheer pink (like MAC'S Tinted Lip Conditioner in Petting Pink) so that is probably how I will interpret the look in the Fall. The makeup isn't as dramatic and colourful as Christian Dior's Couture Fall 2007 collection, Christian Dior's but it is soft and feminine. Overall, Chanel's makeup delivers an appropriate, subdued and highly wearable look for Fall.
