If you haven't opened a history textbook in about 10-15 years, watch the Chanel Pre-Fall 2014 show. That's right. Yesterday, Chanel took on Dallas and told a little Western about Cowboys and Indians. Are you familiar? This is PROOF that fashion CAN tell a story. He didn't need words or pages (as much as I'm an advocate of words AND pages), but simply some elaborate costumes to give you a taste of all those clichés with a sprinkle of Lagerfeld. This is why Karl Lagerfeld is King of the Fashion Industry/Historian. It's an established fact.
At this time of year, numerous designers come up with their pre-Fall 2014 Collections. In case you weren't sure, I am referring to September 2014, which is exactly 9 months, 12 days, 11 hours, and 7 minutes from now (this is probably accurate, but I'm no mathematician). Sound crazy to you? Well, that is how the fashion industry works and Karl is a boss because he's one of the only designers who produces over 80 looks in this PRE collection (95 to be exact) and gets to display them on a runway. It is clear that this man has taken Chanel by a storm and ravaged the rest of the fashion world. He is the one and only ruler and we must bow (Just Kidding).
By the way, since this is the pre-collection, you can only bet that the actual Fall 2014 collection is going to be MAJOR. Stay tuned for something epic.
Much Love,
Bella
P.S The only one who stands a chance next to Lagerfeld is Marc Jacobs. So, keep reading and you may get a brief review on his awesomeness in the near future by yours truly.
