Chanel Couture Spring 2011

Chanel Couture Collection Spring 2011

An airy and luminous feel was taking over at the Chanel Couture Spring 2011 show this week when light colored pieces with a billowy yet structured feel were shown.  To give the collection a girlier feel, designer Karl Lagerfeld had all the models walk in the same black ballet flats with transparent straps going around their ankles and they only walked on the point of the shoe, like a ballerina. The edgier paradoxal vibe came from items like the black sequin pants, sheer skirts and other embellished pieces.
