Coco Chanel is a true legend in the fashion world of the 20th century. It was thanks to her that the woman first tried on the image that was revolutionary at the time, which today, many years later, is still a model of luxury, elegance and style. Modern fashion shows at Chanel are clearly demonstrated as a follower of Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, elegantly beats the recognizable image with the help of unusual elements, details and fabrics, giving the classics a fresh touch. And the amazing collection of Chanel Spring-Summer 2017 is a vivid example.
The new collection is dominated by the rhythms of Latin American culture - wicker hats, sunny palettes, ethnic colorful motifs. Such trends as strip, fitted jacket, pajama style are clearly traced at the show. Unconditional trend has become hats. As a result, Karl Lagerfeld managed to create an unsurpassed mix of traditional elegant classics, diluted with Cuban bright colors. Let's take a closer look at the most flashy trends of the Chanel Spring-Summer 2017 collection.
Trend No. 1. Bright Dresses
Despite the pronounced classicism of the collection, the couturier gladly included in her dresses, skirts and sundresses. The clear favorites were the yellow, peach, turquoise and orange colors. The approach to tailoring models was still the same - the rectangular recognizable silhouette of a charming boxing dress remained unchanged. Karl Lagerfeld decided to freshen the collection using accessories, thus emphasizing the waist with belts made in metallic color.
Trend number 2. Hats
Charming decoration of the catwalk became varieties of hats. Berets embroidered with sequins, silk colorful bandages, felt and straw fedoras were loved by all fashionable women present at the show.
Trend number 3. Current strip
The theme of geometric patterns is still at the forefront of world fashion. And the collection of Chanel spring-summer 2017 is no exception. With a horizontal contrasting stripe, the designer lavishly embellished summer bows, she became a winning accent for many flowing fabrics and silhouettes. A bold combination of white and bold red in the form of a vertical strip will give a special highlight even to the most strict image.
But simple solutions are not about the Chanel fashion house. At the spring-summer show, red-and-white bright trousers were skillfully complemented by Guyaber's shirts and contrasting jackets. In addition, the trend of thin stripes found expression in light pastel colors - a combination of yellow, beige and mustard, undoubtedly, perfectly fit into the radiant style of safari.
Trend number 4. Soaring chiffon
Fashion for women's sophistication, clearly, has no time limit. Many airy dresses framing a female figure with wavy flowing chiffon were literally impressed with their charm. Most popular models differ in length to the ankle, a variety of flounces, ruches and draperies. Lagerfeld skillfully emphasized the weightlessness of the floating fabric in a grayish, smoky hue — the undisputed winner of the 2017 color palette.
Trend # 5: Coarse Texture
Although real Latin American motifs penetrated the niches of the spring-summer collection of Chanel, the lightweight chiffon could not get ahead of the fabric with rough textures. Relief material is associated with sacking, and sometimes, has a similar palette. Textured canvases were presented in pastel colors and currently relevant cage, which were used for sewing skirts and dresses. The pronounced relief harmoniously complemented by a playful fringe of multi-colored threads.
Trend number 6. Black openwork
It turns out that fashion for openwork sundresses and dresses is durable. At the peak of popularity free elongated models in black. However, the couturier never ceases to extol the sophistication and aristocracy of the fashion house, boldly combining such dresses with cotton white shirts, while creating a prim and bold image. There is a tendency to the return of the stylistics of the 50s, which obviously oppresses the charm of the 60s, which last year reigned at the ball.
Trend number 7. Pajama style
Karl Lagerfeld is distinguished by his impeccable talent for combining the incompatible. His images in a pajama style, at first glance, may seem a bit careless, but no less harmonious. This relatively new trend expresses a difficult stylistic approach to creating images.
One of the most daring decisions is a pajama trench coat that looks more like a robe than outerwear. Such an image, rather unexpected and controversial, dares to try on only a true macho, confident in his irresistible appearance.
Men's bright blazers that look like pajama jackets complement white strict shirts and stylish jeans.
Trend number 8. Soft pastel
The fashion for pastel colors, which have been relevant for more than one season, pushed the maestro to press the favorite black and white contrast. At the fashion show there were dresses, skirts and jackets in soft pink, subtle cream, muted yellow, lavender and tender mint tones.
The undoubted favorite of the season 2017 is a calm mustard shade. Especially organically, it is complemented by the style of smart casual, reminding us of safari and relaxation.
Trend number 9. Easy military
The next trend of Chanel is a relaxed image in military style. Jackets and coats of paramilitary skill are skillfully complemented with elongated shorts. Interestingly and unusually this bow looks in combination with a soft hobo bag and many metal chains. Having diluted the set with a black beret, Karl Lagerfeld recreated the modern image of Fidel Castro - a daring, revolutionary, but at the same time refined and incredibly stylish.
