Nick Verreos: RUNWAY REPORT....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Chanel Couture A/W 2013

Pompadour Girls: Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014

Karl Lagerfeld showed his vision for Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014 this past week. The Grand Palais was transformed into a derelict theater; run down, damaged. But in the background, a sight of a futuristic metropolis.

Hat and Belt: Chanel Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014

The Look: "Brave New World" meets "Mad Max" Couture. Boxy suitings; luxe boucle with a low-slung waist belt detail. Almost every look had this wide belt accent. Also; hats. All about hats. In terms of details, the silhouette was low-slung, 20's/30's, rounded shoulders, flange shoulders, a-line skirts. Lots of styles for his UBER RICH clientele to drool over.
