Chanel Haute Couture Fall 2010

As is usually the case, the buzz was brewing before the show even commenced, with a who’s who of Hollywood trickling in to support the Kaiser.

Among the A-listers were Jessica Alba, Leighton Meester, Lou Doillon, Milla Jovovich, and Elisa Sednaoui. It was, however, Blake Lively who caused the most commotion when she let a little gossip slip.

The feline theme didn’t make all that much of a splash throughout the show, but it did culminate with a model walking out with a full-on lion head covering.

The color palette was overwhelmingly dark with a parade of maroons, rusty reds, and black outfits. With over 60 looks in the collection, there was a variety of silhouettes and inspirations on display.

Among the stand-out looks were gorgeously, seemingly architecture-inspired outwear, tightly fitted to the body and accented with prominent buttons and, of course, the classic daywear tweeds that included cropped jackets.

 

Not to be ignored were the baubles. Nearly every model walked the runway with fabulously chunky bracelets, which served as a more-is-more counter balance to some of the simpler looks.
