For the Chanel pre-fall collection Mr. Lagerfeld presented one of the most beautiful collections I have seen in months. Inspired by Russioan folklore and constructivism the show was a perfect moment of escapism, a journey to a different time and place, a McQueen style fairy tale voyage. But what's up with all the rich embroidery and golden details in a moment where most of us are worried about the world (and our own) economy? It turns out a little dreamming would do us all good and because Mr. Lagerfeld is wiser and smarter then us he hid some very classic pieces under the heavily stylized show.
