Chanel Métiers d’Art Paris-London 2008 Collection

karl is a genius, no doubt. i really hope he doesn't kill himself working so much!

There is no doubting Karl Lagerfeld's artistic brilliance. What a superb collection. What else is in store for us all this coming season?

Great new look for Chanel! I absolutely love this 'gothic' touch.. I particularly like the full-length coat!

I dont think my namesake will kill himself..lol... what a bizarre statement to make. Cool photos though, almost burlesque.

Wow,

While, I am not a fashion guru... I love this look!

I accidentally, happened upon this blog while surfing at work, and I love the style & the pictures.

I guess I should have become a fashion designer instead...

Okay, really not but hey, I still love this girl, I mean line!
(Like who's the model?)

This is a great collection! I love the goth look with an old fashion touch!

The collection is amazing. I wonder how wearable it is though ...

I agree, it's not wearable at all. However, sometimes the most beautiful things are the things you can't find any use for at all.
Wonderful details in the pictures.

so beautiful and so expensive

Simply love this new look. Reminds me a little of recent stylized fantasy movies!

These fashions with a mix of old and new gives them a timeless look. Simply Gorgeous!

I love these designs, I adore the grey coat, I want one!

Beautiful designs!

I love that second one - its very gothic. I don't think the others are that gothic though - in response to the earlier commentor. Too much white!

I love the second one also...very FIERCE (love that word)..Gothic is certainly becoming the new craze especially in youngsters. Is that good or bad?

OMG the Largerfield pictures are simply brilliant. I adore them.

I think the black background is what makes everything classier. It brings out the the clothes and accessories that they are wearing to the fore. Guess a good designer would also need a good photographer to make their creations stand out.

The collection is amazing....love the second one...

Lagerfeld is a multi-talented genius. They do not make them like him anymore.

hey there, the model in these pics is absolutely stunning - her subtle complexion is beautifully complented by the exquiste Chanel detailing.

Fab post and great blog - thanks

Chanel always rock! The last Chanel's Runway Show Fall 2009 was amazing, the theme, the designs, clothing, runway, and models blew me away!

Very nice Collection, but Karl Lagerfeld photographer ? Isn´t he a Designer ? :-)

These clothes are beautiful. The colors are my favorite and they tailored very nice. I would like to have this one of these clothes in my wardrobe.

Such wonderful designs. Chanel always seem to pull off great styles.

Amazing designs worn by a very beautiful model. Great shots by the photographer as well!

we'll have to do a few rundowns from this collection on our site!

Very nice collection. I love to see new apparel.

Love the Collection. Gives me like a fantasy classy feel.

Chanel did a great job as usual.

Stunning work. I really like that second piece and I absolutely love that coat.

Chanel always seem to pull off great styles

Chanel has always done black well. Seems everything I see of theirs is black.

The fashion photography is excellent. The checkered coat is my favorite, as that could be worn day to day, while a lot of the other looks are a little too exotic for regular wear.
