A total OMG moment last nite! When I saw pictures of Chanel look from Paris/Milan Fashion week 2010. This guy Karl is seriously intelligent, innovative and super creative! He has the ability and visions , I might safely says here - envision Coco @ at the Artic. For cry sake Grand Palais was covered with iced blocks, is like Chanel winter wonderland. And the designs (although MOST of would not be wearable in our climate and I less think the design is that all ready to wear- at least not in my case. I hardly imagine myself wearing the fur overall, fur jumpers, fur leggings(yes u hear it! It's fur. The different is- as stated- it's a fake fur)
Although some of the homme designs fur jumper/overall looks like a YETI cloned, but with those beautiful head on them, who cares?
The heels was more sensible( 3 inch kitten heels mostly) explaining the relevant of the whole look and runway designs.
Loads of Chanel chains accessories on displays , models strutting colors of the earth- brown earthy tone rules the runway, unlike the rest- like Balmain, Lanvin, KL and YSL where black is the new pink.
Favorite model Freja and Karl favorite men- Baptiste Giabiconi was there gracing the icy catwalk. Of course as usual, Freja would do the finale by dangling at a huge fur- woven Chanel chain. Fabulous! Now, to add on my wish list- Fur woven 2.55 Chanel bag - must have collectible items by Chanel
Now lets read what the expert says about this amazing show by Father Karl of the Chanel Convent -

Paris, 9th March 2010
Grand Palais
Freja Beha Erichsen and three bears on an ice floe. This was the arctic scene at Chanel, where giant chunks of bona fide iceberg, specially transported from Scandinavia, formed the frozen landscape around which models solemnly splashed through a sea of 'berg-melt in shaggy snow boots with ice-block heels.
The Karl conceit of the season, no surprises, was an in-every-way extravagant play on Coco in cold weather. Using more fur than he'd even flung at Fendi—the twist being that here the fur was fake—Lagerfeld steered this collection nearer to couture than ready-to-wear than ever. Fur was woven into brown tweeds; formed deep pelmets on the lower half of leather jackets; became almost igloo-shaped capes, bonnets, even—for goodness' sake—furry trousers. Meanwhile, the suit and coat combinations also had a level of lavish elaboration usually reserved for haute eveningwear. Fur-fringed embroideries and ice jewelry conspired to create intensely worked ruffled and beaded silhouettes that glinted with rock-crystal neckpieces and fistfuls of rings. Somewhere in there, a flash of translucent silver seemed to be a clutch in which the quilting of the CC classic bag had been frozen into the likeness of a refrigerator ice cube tray.
It was a lucky stroke that the weather outside had kindly assisted Chanel in whipping subzero winds around the Grand Palais while this display was going on. Since humans are suggestible, it took only the merest suspension of disbelief to imagine this collection hitting the mark next fall, despite the fact that it will start to be delivered in July—and who knows in which century we'll have another winter like this one? Nevertheless, putting global warming and the melting of ice caps both center stage and on the back burner (as it were), this show swept the audience along as they were treated to such amusements as seeing Karl Lagerfeld's favorite, Baptiste Giabiconi, swagger out of an ice cave in a full-length polar bear coat.
It wasn't all played for laughs. Within the context of a season of innovative knitwear, Chanel's was some of the most outstanding. A group of three short angora sweater dresses, tinted iceberg blue in the center, was an amazing follow-up from something Lagerfeld did with dégradé pastel embroidery in couture. One gray and black cardigan coat was knitted in a bubbly grid to mimic a down-filled puffer. And the finale was given to a wedding dress knitted in silk tulle ribbon to resemble Chanel's bouclé tweed, forming a tight-fitting sweater in the body and then sweeping away in flounces in back. The bride—Freja, again—dangled an ice-block purse on a fur-woven Chanel chain.
