Chanel’s fall 2012 runway show spun the collection’s usual trademark of ladylike glam into relaxed, sporty looks. The season will pile layers upon layers of oversized jackets and billowy dresses with just a hint of metallic pants peeking out from underneath. Some reviews even compared Chanel’s runway set to Superman’s icy hideout. Along with the sharp, angular art design, models wore very little makeup. Well, except for those strong, pointed eyebrows made of jewels. It was surprising that model Freja Beha, a favorite of Karl Lagerfeld, was nowhere to be seen. However, an even bigger surprise was Miranda Kerr’s appearance on the runway.
Chanel worked the purple trend to perfection in the show. Among other runway shows that included Marc Jacobs, Blumarine, Gucci, and Nina Ricci, Chanel’s fall 2012 collection proved that next season will be decked out in all shades of the color purple. In the fall, we’ll see lots of purple coats, dresses, and bags. Even Karl Lagerfeld sealed his approval by mixing up his usual all-black style and wearing purple gloves at his show. The best accessory paired with the outfits in this collection was the purple velvet mini backpack.
