Me thinks yes. Karl Lagerfeld's Fall/Winter 2011 collection for the usually clean and pristine fashion house is quite the opposite. From slouchy jackets and trousers to dark grays, blacks and emerald greens, Lagerfeld's color palette is super accessible while still retaining its high fashion rigueur.
It looks like Rachel Zoe was 'inspired,' to say the least, by Karl Lagerfeld's Fall/Winter 2010 Chanel collection.
I am absolutely smitten by this image shot by Scott Schuman aka "The Sartorialist." When I was little my sister and I loved to play dress up. Our favorite dress up accessory? A vintage cream, fur muffler. I have no idea where it came from but whether we were having tea with the queen or walking the red carpet, our little hands were always tucked inside the soft safety of the muffler--quite a sophisticated security blanket, no? Hah! Anyway, it's safe to say that you don't see mufflers too often anymore but, as with everything else, it appears that chic stops here, in Milano--hands safely tucked inside Chanel.
So, I've written about Chanel helmets and tattoos and now, I cannot pry my fingers away from my keyboard (a new Macbook Pro I just bought and love! Sorry bank account) as I lethargically type these next two words: Chanel surfboard. Seriously? Why does Mr. Lagerfeld continue to rub these ridiculously chic things in our faces that we know we'll never be able to afford or more importantly need? What's next? Chanel cars or scotch tape or nail files?!

Don't ask me how, but I managed to overlook Chanel's RTW Fall 2010 show until this morning as my finger was frozen in click-mode as it made its way through countless slideshows on style.com. But, hovering over my mouse pad, my clicking finger stopped dead in its tracks as it got to Karl Lagerfeld's quite literal translation of global warming. A runway made to look like ice caps and male and female models snug inside fur body suits (that looked not unlike that of the abominable snowman), there were pieces that were all together a bit comical looking. But, being the genius that he is, Lagerfeld was able to create a collection that evolved from the absurd to the avant-garde wearable incorporating fur accents throughout the collection- even weaving fur into his signature boucle-knit tweeds.
