Dark: neon blue lights and shimmering black floor give the taste of a winter , rainy night in Paris.
The designer said that for this season he wanted to melt the two different sides of Chanel: the androgyny, the boyish construction of clothes (inspired by the beginning of XX century Austrian and English men clothing) and the romantic side of Chanel.
What we have this season is a coherent collection to the house DNA. Tweed suits with round shoulder and almost tubular 3/4 sleeves, jackets flared in trapezoid shape (made with tweed, feathers, satin) from the waist down. This new silhouette reminded me of Fernand Léger paintings (the sleeves particularly).

Black, white are predominant; here and there touches of fuchsia and night blue.
At one point the dresses were embroidered with macro-buttons that made them look like they were polka dotted.
Boater hats in tweed and feathers adorned the girls' heads. Tight full skirted dresses, flared at the end; the same for dress coats.
And what about the shoes? Black high heeled platform shoes, with a built-in light !
