Chanel's S/S 2013 collection was one that, for me, stood out against the many designers. Naturally, I was drawn to reviewing it because it's Chanel but it was warming to see the use of solar panels and the theme of sustainability incorporated within fashion.
I believe Karl Lagerfeld has proved to everyone that he is able to continue consistently producing top-notch collections that live and breath the Chanel ethos and branding, yet there's always evidence of fresh, modern ideas to innovate the label.
The silhouettes and shapes were very A-line and there was much focus on a broad shoulder through the use of the bolero jacket.
With 80 looks on the runway, the show went through tons of different atmospheres and looks, with a few that maybe didn't tie in so much with the others but I loved that there were pops of colour when you least expected them.

I adore this glossy, hot pink jacket with a checked lining inside. It gives a bright pop of colour to contrast with the plain white dress. |

A cobalt blue jumper dress. Love the unusual structure of this. Not so sure about that transparent hat... |

Peter pan collars were everywhere this summer and Lagerfeld uses them here, but x100! |

The idea of this dress is undoubtedly original with a denim skirt being transformed into a minidress, but the embellishments don't do it for me. |

What would a Chanel collection be without tweed? Here a wash of dirty pinks and blues are seen to mix up the trend. |

Really cute, sheer fabric used here and the flowers are used in just the right places, along the shoulders and the skirt. |

If looked at closely, the flowers used on this white maxi dress appear to be similar or even are candy wrappers. Interesting design which I can definitely see being worn as a high-fashion maxi in the spring.
