On day two of Paris's panicky three days of haute tailoring assemblages, Chanel took the fashion throng to the blues and climaxes included super-sexy, celebrity-filled Armani Prive.
Tuesday's haute fashion design shows felt flashier than in previous seasons -- conceivably owing to confidence after some fashion families exposed rising sales facts during last year.
The Giorgio Armani Prive show was a ostentatious affair and arbitrating by its profits, it can afford to be: auctions rose 50 percent in 2011 despite the lethargic economy.
Sitting on the obverse row of the Italian designer's show, US Vogue Editor Anna Wintour jibed: "Doesn't couture always buck the inclination?"
French mega-brand Chanel would definitely agree, billing its own tailoring show as the biggest manifestation yet. Inside a recreated jumbo jet, guests -- including many from Asia -- were frozen to a showy presentation.
Another of the day's big assortments came from Givenchy, direct from the universe of its ingenious designer Riccardo Tisci, who led roisterers around a curious and deluxe exhibition-like collection.
Under Tisci, the French marque has also seen success in the past 12 months, reporting year on year proceeds of 5 percent.
Haute couture is an artisan-based technique of making clothes that dates back over 150 years. The outfits, shown in collections in Paris twice a year, are bought by an essential group of no more than 100 rich women around the world. Creations variety in price from euro15,000 to over euro100,000 for nuptial outfits.
CHANEL
It was blue-sky thinking for Karl Lagerfeld, as he frozen guests to a jet-set practice in Chanel's spring-summer collection.
The wet Paris morning failed to diminish the mood outside the imperial Grand Palais, as visitants waited excitedly to see the inside theme -- always a closely-guarded secret. The "Cocos" -- as one fashionista called Chanel cliques -- were controlled nervously down a space-age passage.
There were puffs as they reached the catwalk: a life-size jumbo-jet rebuilt complete with kit lockers, walkways and even a Bubbly trolley.
On the runway, signature Chanel skirt-suits were given a retro flight consequent makeover with wide bateau .lapels in pastel colors.
It was as if stiff-suited Karl Lagerfeld had finally certain to relax into the flight as soft, float floor-length profiles replaced last season's more formfitting, shorter and architectural look.
Speaking backstage in the rebuilt arena, Lagerfeld said that blue was used because it's a sanguine color.
Innovatory the show was not, but the Chanel brand is absolutely flying stable with reason to be excited about the future. A strong clientele and vigorous business mean that like other couture-producing labels, they are bounding the downtrend in a melancholy financial environment.
GIORGIO ARMANI PRIVE
Giorgio Armani demonstrated once again that his Armani Prive assortment is one of the raciest tickets in town.
A noisy media fray was elicited Tuesday when thespians Cameron Diaz and Jessica Chastain took their seats, adjourning the start of the show.
A black-and-green jacquard silk bustier and abundant skirt glistened with a bodice of black micro-sequins. A widening bustier dress teemed with tiny spangles like green snowflakes.
"I love the green look, so stylish and so graceful with the embroidering's," said Chastain, star of "The Help," which was voted for an Oscar for Best Picture on Tuesday.
The last of Armani's 44 pieces got shouts from spectators: a stunning but limiting mermaid dress with prances embroidered with green vitiates crystals. The model-cum-siren writhed to get one foot in front of the other, hesitant at one point.
Speciously no one told her that mermaids aren't fictional to walk.
STEPHANE ROLLAND
A stern palette of red, lime green, black and ivory, and fabric in its cleanest form, met the style set for French designer Stephane Rolland's highly-sculptural contribution.
Inspired by the work of kinetic illustrator Michel Deverne, Rolland's rich floor-sweeping gowns were kept ultra-simple to show off the crusade of the ingredients. About the Author
