In Case You Missed It, Watch The Chanel Paris-Dallas 2013/14 Métiers d'Art Show



"It’s an idea of Texas, but not the commonplace of Texas. I tried to avoid cheerleaders and inspiration from tough Hollywood movies with, you know, John Wayne ... It’s more romantic. It's like some images of some movies I have never seen..." - Karl Lagerfeld



"I didn't want the famous Cowboy Hat everybody knows. There's a mix of the kind of refined American culture from the early years of the 19th century but put into the 21st century. It's an idea, it's a feeling... I wanted a poetic touch." - Karl Lagerfeld



The collection is undeniably Western-influenced but doesn't got too Cowboy (though the denim and lace felt a little House on the Prairie). Lagerfeld did an amazing job at mixing in modern touches as well as Sophisticated Victorian. There was a wide variety of heavy textures with an emphasis on fringe detail. Watch below and let me know what you think.
