Chanel Resort Show: A Venetian Stroll Through Memory Lane

Welp, Lagerfeld's gone and done it again. This resort season, Karl offered a nod to Coco's past vacation joint, Venice with the opening of a mass of leggy ladies in black cloaks and panties. With wigs allowing a cohesive glance at nautical trends, classic Chanel outfitting and Edwardian infused pieces, Karl gave a stupendous retrospective at Chanel's past showings. Tonuge-and-cheek sunglasses presented in masquerade style added a rambunctious edge to the collection. My two favorite looks are included below and are sure to be replicated by our favorite knock-off retailers shortly. I would possibly take a bullet for the cream blouse with its echoed Edwardian reference and impeccably placed sheer panels. I am desperately in love with the play on the Chanel classic shoe/bootie as well. Oh Karl, you never cease to amaze me.
