Chanel Haute Couture Fall 2014

Themes: 'It's Baroque meets Le Corbusier,' said Karl, explaining that his inspiration was images of a Thirties apartment by the architect of Modernism. Yes, there was the obvious influence of Le Corbusier and Baroque but also, lots of Rococo and Infanta Balenciaga-esque references thrown in as well. The collection was GORGEOUS, EXPENSIVE, and when seen in the runway video at the end, can attest to all the magnificent and extreme craftsmanship of the Haute Couture ateliers of Chanel. Side Notes: the Finale Bride was 7-months pregnant London-born New Zealand-raised model Ashleigh Good, and yes, that was Kendall Jenner (of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" fame) modeling in the show.

Trends: Modern Excess; A-line skirts; biker shorts under skirts; mink!; structured shoulders; sequin dresses; the "Infanta" bell shape. 

Colors: White, creme, slate-blue, fire-red, gold, gray, baby blue.
