Chanel Pre-Fall 2013 Collection Research
Chanel Pre-Fall 2013 Collection
Mist
was swirling. Snow was beginning to fall. The wind drove sparks from burning
wood braziers high into the freezing December night. The scene was a Chanel homecoming of
sorts, a show that dramatized Coco Chanel’s lifelong romance with tweed,
tartan, and cashmere, played out in the courtyard of Linlithgow Palace,
birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots. “I like the emotion of it,” said Karl Lagerfeld. “This is about the queen
of fashion and the Queen of Scotland—who was also French, you know.”
This
was wrote on the vogue website and sets the senses for this collection extremely
well. When looking at this collection the hair really stood out to me the most because
of the high beehive look at the front. This shows a slight Elizabethan style to
it, which I really like. From the photo’s it also looks slightly textured,
maybe crimped or waved. This textured effect on the hair when put up makes it
stand out.
It
also drew me in by the colour of the models hair because a lot of them have
very ginger hair or hints of ginger in the hair, which stood out to me because this
reflects Elizabethan times extremely well.
After looking through this
collection it has given me a few ideas for designs because I really like the
way the hair has either been crimped or waved and then put up into a dome
shape, I think I will use this maybe to create a bun style because I think the crimped
effect on the buns would stand out with my own hair colour.
I also really love the use of plaits at the front of the head becuase from researching the Elizabethans they used to think the bigger your forehead was the more intellegant you were and i think using plaits at the front of the hair maybe creates a higher hair line which could work really well in my final design.
