The New Chanel

• For my taste, the top two looks are perfection! How exciting for Ms. Viard. I too appreciate the lighter touch with the CC swag – I always assumed it was meant for the runway, advertising, window displays, fashion week, or pure theatrics. A little logo goes a long way in my sphere.

• Snap! Love the tan utility-luxe pocketed coat!

• You are right, Preston. I clicked through the whole collection. Really cool. And interesting. Do you think those dresses covered in petals are supposed to be a teensy bit ironic?

• Preston, a number of years ago the already high Chanel prices went through the roof!!! OMG they went in to the stratosphere! So my sister Sue and I staged our own minor boycott. I find the prices offensive, even by luxury goods standards. Luckily for us we have a number of their beautiful jackets that will remain timeless.
  What are your thoughts on the pricing???
  Love, Pamela Taft

• So agree! Finally some everyday-wear from Chanel.

• Agreed! The jackets in this collection, in particular, look super wearable and super chic. Cannot wait to see these clothes in real life!! Cruise is always my favorite collection from Chanel because it’s perfect for NYC; SS is too pastelly for me and AW is too heavy. I am so happy to see that this is the direction that Viard is taking!

• My favourite outfit is the one Virginie Viard is wearing. I think that is more like what women want to wear on a daily basis. Having said that, the collection is lovely and if someone gave me a jacket, I would be wearing it.

• I love it , and I never thought I’d say that about Chanel.
  Wearable and inspiring…. although way out of my price range!

• Pamela, sadly this could be said about so many designers’ clothes — Valentino is prohibitively expensive, too. I am curious to see the price point on Ms. Viard’s designs, hopefully they’ll be within my budget. I’m sure this is why many women rent evening wear and other pricey items.

• Love.
  Have you seen the new jewelry…some is really good.

• I totally agree with you, Preston. I loved this collection, and as a result, it will make selecting a new blazer very tricky this time around. The line of the jackets is also a little longer, which will work on most body types. I think what Virginie wore was EXACTLY what I would wear. I usually look to see what she wears for inspiration as well as Caroline Maigret. Cruise and Pre-Fall are my favorite and I can’t wait to see what Mme Viard has in store for us.

• Love this collection. As a notable detail– that little chain tie belt.
