I have been very open about my love for fashion. Sad to say, I only know minuscule things about it. A true fashion enthusiast, I believe, should know every prominent label in Milan, London, and New York. He/she should be adept in executing the current trends, e.g. the colors, textures, and designs for Spring Summer 2011. In this post, I will attempt to share the trend for S/S 2011 and perhaps give a few insights of what’s in store for next year’s fashion industry, well, according to Chanel.
Fashion ignoranti like me only know well a few fashion labels–most of the time, the popularly-used ones. Who has not heard of Chanel? This uber famous brand is founded by Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. It is recognized as the most established in haute couture, ready-to-wear clothes, handbags, perfumery, and cosmetics among others (Wikipedia, 2010). No wonder, every fashionista in the world worships Chanel.
Winter is almost over, and summer and spring are upcoming. What way to rock those seasons best but wear Chanel’s S/S 2011 collection. They are chic, some are cozy, elegant, and adventurous.
But that’s only if you got thousands of dollars to spend. What about the people who only have meager finances but still want to look in style? Here are some highlights from line’s 2011 collection designed by Karl Lagerfield:
1. Prints. The 2011 collection were like an exhibit of geometry. Jackets and skirts were all emblazoned with patterns and florals.
2. Feathers. Coats and dresses were adorned with lots of feathers and fur.
3. Cut. Skirts were either cut above the knee. Flowy dresses were just right at the calves.
4. Colors. Lots of black, white, gray, and light pink, yellow and blue were used. Garments which colors are not too bold graced the runway.
5. Shoes. Of course, no outfit is ever gorgeous without statement shoes. Strappy, wedge-like shoes and sandals strutted the runway in black and gray.
6. Bags. Shoulder bags are so eras ago. Purses and pouches in black, gray, and white, and patterns complement the season best.
Bottomline, you need not wear nor buy Chanel from head to toe. Just follow these trends when choosing for pieces to wear and you’ll surely be in style for next year!

Hey there! My name is Daphne and I am based in Tampa Bay, Florida.
This blog has been my digital home since 2010. I initially created Metamorphosis as an outlet for my thoughts but eventually focused on my (questionable) style, beauty routines, and adventures.
