The Chanel FW 2015||16 collection was Karl Lagerfeld’s vision of France from a stranger who thinks France is not that bad. This vision included also to analyse the typical lunch- dinner- aperitif setting of a Parisian: the brasserie. The Brasserie Gabrielle was the theme to the staging of the show at Chanel’s traditional location at the Grand Palais. On the runway appeared an unusual red tartan check on a austere- futuristic styled model that resembled very much the Otto Dix painting of the journalist Sylvia von Harden, having an aperitif in a place that looks like a brasserie. I just love that painting and the fierce face expression of Sylvia, who like me and Karl Lagerfeld, was originally from Hamburg.

INSPIRATION Christian Dior HC SS||2015... Versace FW 2015||16
This look from the last Christian Dior Haute Couture show [left] with its over knee patent leather boots was part of a reminder of the cheep hooker outfit Julia Roberts wore in 1990 in 'Pretty Woman" [click here]. Also Donatella Versace for FW 2015||16 thought this aesthetic is ready for a comeback [right]. Important is the use of the right nuance of the über sexy red of the patent leather.
