“Neon Baroque” was the term used to describe Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel Haute Couture Spring Summer 2010. Although not one of Karl’s strongest collections, the message was clear: Pastels are here to stay!

Stripping himself of the the House of Chanel’s iconic black-and-white, Lagerfeld gave himself  a challenge. The show was born around the concept of, “Electronic flashes I get in my head” he told the Associated Press Television News. “I saw it in a dream and I made sketches … at five o’clock in the morning.”

Overall the collection was very dreamy and super romantic. Lot’s of Grecian one shoulder draping, baby doll dresses in frothy hues, and the classic Chanel tweed suit in an array of soft sea foam’s and grey’s. The metallic accessories added “Chanel-of-the-future” vibe to the whole romantic, feminine feel of the show. Tres Chic!
