Also at the event was fashionista Diane Kruger who wore a similar black Chanel Resort 2008 dress but with a halter neck top and bare legs. She added a fun touch with her yellow buckled Chanel Fall 2007 pumps and sequined bag.
Supermodel Claudia Schiffer rounded out the elite front row in a prim and proper puff skirt and bow detailed waist belt. She was also rocking black patent Christian Louboutin, Joli Noeud Dorcet 957 sandals.
The show it self was like under-the-sea ice princess full of whites, greys, blacks, silvers and peaches.
Short skirts came in many shapes, the most popular being the draped shell shaped skirts and the pleated ones.
Coats were thigh length with cropped sleeves and rounded collars. The look was soft but tailored with military style detailing.
All the models wore flat pumps in silver, black, white or black and white adding to the young look of the clothes.
There were plunging v-neck blazers with Parisian style brooches used as fasteners and sequins were used for sublte glamour.
A possible trend to replace last years leggings, was the skinny raw-edged crops worn on the knee with pretty long-length tops.
Chanel hit the trend for structured dresses perfectly with his
strapless khaki dress, his silver sequined number with three tiered
skirt and the strappy silver and white striped dress.
At the other extreme were the soft girly dresses with feathered edges
in ivory and peach worn with sexy one shoulders or beautiful beaded
details.
All the dresses were worn with sheer white or black tights.
The classic LBDs were modernised with draped skirts, bows, feathered
edges and jewels. I adore the one pictured in the middle above!
The models wore their hair in dramatic updos with large quiffs and tiara style sequined bands.
Then came the gowns! There was the one shouldered, geometric shaped
white gown that was cut mid-calf and the tiered black and white gown
with stunning neckline.
But my favourites were the classic and glamorous black gowns. One was a
strapless chiffon number with volumous skirt and feathered details that
looked like it was made for the curves of Dita Von Teese, whilst the other was a strapless gown with structured bodice and sheer skirt and sleeves.
