Karl Lagerfeld, the design legend who will never grow old. He has always looked to the future to influence his work and displays a legendary talent for capturing the energy of the moment. His curiosity for the latest technological offering is shown in his new collection for CHANEL.
CHANEL: AT THE HEART OF THE DATA CENTER
The new CHANEL SS17 collection is futuristic, digital and tech-electric. Traditional materials - tweed suits, chains, quilted and camellias are given a digital upgrade with electric tones, neon finishes, scanned pixels and wire accents.
The famous Grand Palais of Paris, the CHANEL catwalk of choice, was transformed into a giant futuristic platform. Models were seen emerging from an immense structure of thousands of stacked computers and electrical wires in bright colours. Dressed in traditional CHANEL jackets and bright baseball caps, mixing haute couture and modern street fashion in perfect harmony.
One of the key elements of the collection were the lingerie inspired dresses, discreetly worn under heavy tweeds. Elsewhere, handbags and accessories came with LED lights and sandals crafted in metallic leather allowing the CHANEL woman to maintain her frenetic pace in chic, informal comfort.
A classic collection reinvented with an entirely new look for spring, youthful designs for the modern woman, powerful, yet steeped in femininity.
After the show, Lagerfeld said…"CHANEL has always been modern before its time. I have associated the traditional tweed blazers with these modern creatures from the future to say: CHANEL is timeless, CHANEL is immortal".
Christian Dior's vision has always been ahead of its time, fascinating women with his ability to combine utmost modernity with timeless elegance.
Founded in 1946 by the eponymous designer Christian Dior, today the company designs and retails ready-to-wear, leather goods, fashion accessories, footwear, jewellery, timepieces, fragrance, make-up, and skincare products while also maintaining its tradition as a creator of recognized haute couture (under the Christian Dior Couture division).
From the renowned Bar suit to the grandest evening gowns, the famous Lady Dior bag to the Dior VIII watch and Bois de Rose jewellery, and from the Dior Addict lipstick to the best selling J’adore perfume, Dior's creations constitute an unmatched universe.
Dior is the ultimate symbol of elegance, excellence and luxury. In the 21st Century, Dior continues to define elegance and style with the same audacity that inspired Monsieur Dior when he launched his house.

For the AW16 collections the Reiss design team looked to a range of cultural references for inspiration. Menswear looks to the icons and regulars of Studio 54 for inspiration. Colours and fabrications remain light and crisp at the start of the season but as the weather turns fabrics are bolder, shinier and are drawn from a darker colour palette.
The womenswear collection launches with styles that nod to the theatrical works of the 1920s Bloomsbury artists and in later weeks, we see creative influence stem from Truman Capote’s Black and White Ball. Hand-drawn, painterly prints prevail, intricate details adorn fabrications and new techniques are adopted.
Jennifer Lawrence, the Dior muse of choice, is back to showcase their latest handbag collection. Dior and Lawrence have a long-standing partnership, with the star fronting the brand's AW15 accessories campaign and being named the face of the Dior Addict makeup line in the spring of last year.
