i don't see the purpose of having in-between collections like Cruise and Resort... even Pre-Fall. Pre-Fall... what is that supposed to mean anyway? the clothes are beautiful. there's no doubt about that. do you suppose the increase in number of upcoming fresh designers are a potential threat to household names like Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Versace, and Prada, that they feel a one-up is necessary? "i can do 5 collections in one year and!! be a part of collaborations. top that! Richard Chai!"
last year's collections were disappointing. i found it boring and was that of the image of a broken record. unplugged. perhaps if time was spent less on mini-projects like Pre-Fall, more time-spent on F/W and S/S would result with collections that are real re-inventions of something old and fabulous. and which, btw... "something old and fabulous" doesn't equate to 2007. i'd like to see less leggings, jeggings, peggings, whatevereggings and more substantial pieces that reflect the immaterial side of our reality. if i see another military-inspired piece in a spanking new collection, i'm going to veto it instantaneously.
anyway, i don't follow Cruise. i barely see the purpose of Resort. but the turn of this fashion industry has reached a new horizon. here we have a short film adaptation of Chanel Cruise 2012. directed by Karl Lagerfeld (naturally), and starring Kristen McMenamy, Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Giabiconi (both... naturally). the storyline is confusing, but the people are beautiful and the music is amazing and of course, the clothes are gorgeous. you also get to see Freja's no-tits tits. enjoy.
