Some of my favorite denim garments ever made come from Stella McCartney’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection. I am lucky enough to own two garments from this collection, one of which is the skirt I am wearing here.
Now this wonderful piece has been recreated many times, I first saw one last year by Topshop, and this year we have a very similar one by Alexa Chung for AG Denim collection. To be honest I am a little disappointed each time this happens, a wonderful garment being reproduced over and over again by so many labels most people won’t know who started it. I think of how refreshing it would be to have different basic, classic garments, every season instead of more almost identical versions of the same thing. Of course there is nothing we can do, this is a business on top of all the creative aspects, but on the positive side it could be worse. At least in this case it is a beautiful classic piece being re-made instead of an ugly one.

So today it’s time for a little Chanel, my personal favorite!

Hoy toca Chanel, mi firma favorita!
Discontinued Chanel bags, there a ton more, but I focused on the most popular ones. May I add that there are rumors as to the Grand Shopping Tote (GST) being discontinued and for what I could find out that is simply NOT TRUE.

Los modelos discontinuados de Chanel. Me he centrado en los más populares, ya que hay muchos modelos fuera de producción. Por otro lado voy a añadir que aunque sí hay rumores de que van a discontinuar uno de los grandes clásicos el Grand Shopping Tote (GST) según la información que tengo NO ES CIERTO.
A classic ensemble for summer made out from some of my core wardrobe pieces. Black mini skirt, grey t-shirt, black flat sandals, and one of my all year round go-to bags.

Instead of showing the actual runway looks, today I decided to focus on the details. As much as I love Chanel, I am not very fond of the styling, it is very anti-Coco really, too much, always. Almost all the garments are exquisite but I think the appreciation of them gets lost with all the fuzz going on with the added elements, and sometimes even the background. And that is the case in this collection as well. Now of course what do I expect? It’s couture. But still I can find what’s classic and beautiful in it, and that is shown in these pictures, the close up, the details.

En vez de mostrar los conjuntos en la pasarela esta vez he decidido centrarme en los detalles. Por mucho que adoro Chanel, no soy muy fan de los estilismos en los defiles, es muy anti-Coco la verdad, muy recargado, siempre. Aunque casi todas las prendas son una maravilla, no pueden ser apreciadas adecuadamente con toda la fiesta de excesos distrayendo, y no voy a entrar en detalles sobre los fondos. Es el caso en casi todas las colecciones, creo que podrían salvarse unas cuantas.
Ahora por supuesto no se que esperaba, es couture. Pero aún así se pueden encontrar imágenes que reflejan elementos clásicos y todo aquello esta en los detalles.
