Hello Internets!
I am extraordinarily happy to be back blogging ^_^ back to indulging in all thing sartorial. I am aiming for the posts here at fashionaddictedtechie to be short and sweet, so for today we have the Chanel RTW Fall 2011 collection. Shown a few months ago in Paris, I reckon if I had to describe this particular endeavour of Mr Lagerfeld in one word, that word would be 'versatile'. See for yourself...
A classic Chanel jacket worn over a dusty black men's tuxedo, and shoes that look like you really could walk 500 miles in. Love.
I just like the idea that Chanel is fashion, and then all other details of your outfit can/should reflect your own personal style. Like, if you wear just one bit of Chanel - a jacket or a crisp white shirt, plus boots from Target and and op-shop-sourced black wide-legged pants a-la Audrey Hepburn, then I think it just takes the impact of the word 'style' to another level, you know? I mean OF COURSE you can be stylish and not be out of pocket more than $50, and I also know that brand name clothes do not automatically equal style, class or elegance.
But the idea of couture - something that is made to your specifications, from the fit to the colour, is a luxury. Therefore, to be able to mix that luxury item with other clothes so nonchalantly is (if I lived in my dream world and could afford couture) my favourite kind of style ^_^
