There are perfectly good celebrity style moments, and then there are the looks that really stick with you, the ones you try desperately to recreate at home. In ‘Great Outfits in Fashion History,’ Fashionista editors are revisiting their all-time favorite lewks.
In my last entry for “Great Outfits,” I discussed the fact that every fashion fan has a collection they haven’t stopped thinking about since it hit the runway. But there are also the runways you can’t stop thinking about, the rare presentation that hits high marks from the moment the lights go up until the designer takes their bow. Oh, what’s that? You need an example? I gotchu: Chanel Spring 2012.
Not only is it one of my favorite Karl Lagerfeld-helmed collections of all time, the runway itself was absolutely stunning. Working from the pearl-bedecked clothing and accessories, the French brand created an underwater paradise inside the Grand Palais. Models wove through a seascape of coral, bleached out in all white, entering the runway through a bubble-covered tunnel.
