Design genius Karl Lagerfeld took to the farm for the Chanel Spring 2010.
Kaiser Karl had a giant barnyard constructed in the Grand Palais-- complete with hay and a mock stage. The barn had the logo branded. We want that barn!!
There was no way you could miss Lagerfeld's male muse Baptsite Giabiconi. We feel bad for Brad Kroenig, we loooooove Brad.
TREND ALERT:
We're gay, we don't follow rules: like this is for girls, this is for boys. We adopt and make it our own!!!
Softer colors for spring in neutrals: beige, ivory, caramels, taupes and ecrus -- get your jackets and buttondowns in these colors. Find a racer leather jacket in a light caramel, like the photo below. One red item-- red Lacoste or red Converse wear it with said jacket.
The iconic pieces (like the nubby tweed jacket) were mixed with ivory and black; rough textures; transparency and lace. Like the first image, find your own Chanel tweed jacket (the Chanel store in Hawaii sells Men's Chanel clothes) and mix it with a black and white print shirt and a tank top underneath that.
You can always take the high heel boot and reinterpret that with a chunky black motorcycle boot. Find some vintage Girbaud jeans, roll them up, crisp white shirt, black blazer --- viola, you're parroting the second image.
What to look for: homespun couture skills-- hopsack to basket weave and cane work to aprons; peasant poppy prints-- look for that in a shirt to wear under a jacket.
