Spring 2011 Couture: Chanel

Lagerfeld went in a new direction for Chanel’s legacy this week: “Life is not a cocktail party” pretty much sums up the show. There was a take on leggings — of course they were elegant, sequined and flattering — as well as jeans — not sloppy or anything, just gorgeous, plain and simple –and none of the looks were so intense I would stop and stare at someone wearing them to a dinner party. These were easy pieces, but by no means less elegant.
