With Lagerfeld on the rise in almost every known price point of the fashion industry, the opening of the Chanel Resort 2013 show seemed right in lieu of his Macy's line. By mixing the light washed and oddly bright blue denim into silhouettes that MIA would have worn after stealing Pink's wig from her first music video he really set a stage I'm not sure I would have paid to attend. The golden rays of the New Jersey sun screamed out in need of some of these pieces, as well as the Harajuku girls of Japan's youth. The garish and transsexual vibe was very Gaga-esque and seemed random and tasteless. Despite all of that these party dresses will probably be swept up by every party "it" girl on pre-orders before they can hit the stores. The boyish proportions of Karl's designs don't allow for femininity in a sexy way, however smother a woman (or as seems much more appropriate for such a collection), a girl in an idea of femininity that only an aging gay man would find attractive. The last suit of wrapped black and mesh is so garishly hideous in everything from design to fit that I couldn't pry my eyes away from it.. All of that being said, I can't help but enjoy, smile to myself, at the complete lack of taste and complete dismissal of all of the cleaned up monochromatic trends that are happening at EVERY other fashion house for Resort 2013.
