At first glance, its no question that the Chanel Spring 2012 Couture Collection is yet an edgy, alternative view of the traditional Chanel woman. Each look appeared to be a twisted take on a Chanel classic; the over-sized collars and front pocket skirts are all expectantly unexpected. The fitted, pleasantly plain Chanel silhouette was suddenly pumped up with texture and crystals, adding dimension and character to the overall presentation.
This season looks most like a collection that Karl Lagerfiled created to reflect what he could wear if he were to dress up in Chanel Haute Couture; you can't miss the parallel of the floor length jackets and black-on-black palettes with Lagerfield's signature personal aesthetic.
