When I first saw the Chanel Couture collection on Instagram, I knew I was in love. This collection has it all: sequins, flowers, beads, pastels, brights. It's times like these when I wished I was Anna Wintour and could just ask to have one of the pink chiffon dresses or the blooming, floral cropped jacket. If I had one of these pieces, I honestly don't think I would ever take it off!
For those of you who have not seen the show, here it is...
Being couture, you have to realize that each piece is one of a kind, and was hand embroidered by an amazing team. I feel like the people behind-the-scences don't get enough credit for the wonderful work they do, so I was really excited to see that Chanel posted a video of the creation process. If you only have time to watch one of these videos, I would watch this one. It is amazing to think that real people hand embroidered all of these fabrics. Here is that video...
I have so much respect for the people who make these garments. They are so skilled and deserve some praise!
Here are some of my favorite looks from the show...
