Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 Couture

Chanel bridal gown inspiration - Spring/Summer 2011 couture collection

Chanel Spring/Summer 2011 haute couture collection is Karl Lagerfeld’s splendid show of light in all sense of the word — apparent weightlessness of gauzy fabrics, brilliant luminosity from shimmering pearl, bead and crystal embroideries and of the casual, almost frivolous approach to high fashion. Light, though, is not the amount work put into each of these dresses with intricate detailing (“some of these tops have 400,000 pearls and crystals, can you imagine?”) And it shows. In motion, the dress above looks like it was spun from millions of dew drops from a spider web, each crystal bead glistening beautifully as the model glides through the runway. Magical!
