Coco started with the women’s sports wear range in 1913. Her creations reflected simplicity rather than lavish and wealthy look. A period arrived when her collection included flannel blazers, long jersey sweaters, boat-neck tops, formal linen skirts and skirt-jackets. By 1915, her complete range gained popularity and was well accepted for its simple look throughout France. Formerly, her collection included classy daytime wear with a coat, black dresses for evenings which were slightly decorated with ribbons and laces along with some embroidery by further enhancing its look with fur, feathers and use of metallic fabrics with shades of amber and grey. However she believed in simplicity was the key to true panache. A person who is genuinely simple is more graceful and elegant. Christian Dior and LVMH were Chanel’s biggest competitors in the world of International market.

Fab Blab: Zac Posen Watched the Rachel Zoe Show, Too

Fab Blab: Zac Posen Watched the Rachel Zoe Show, TooAs if hearing the man behind Chanel isn’t thrilling enough, we chatted with sweetheart designer Zac Posen at the opening of Chanel’s mobile art pavilion. He looked quite dapper — he was one of the few who actually bundled up — and joshed around with Karl, aw. Zac was very kind and spoke profoundly about his process. Take it away, Zac!

 

Q: What brings you here tonight?

A: “Well, I love art installations. Public art installations are exciting. A lot of fashion. New York, which is exciting.”

Q: What star do you love seeing in your clothes? Do you have a favorite?

A: “Favorite, no I never pick favorites. Ever!”

Q: Styles that inspire you?

A: “More people on the street inspire me. It’s hard to be inspired by people’s styles in the moment. It’s usually better in reflection. That’s not saying there’s not many people who have great style. There are whole teams that build style and an image and a look. I love the Rachel Zoe show. I think it’s a great depiction, it really shows how hard the work is that goes behind building the looks more than the other fashion reality that exists. I thought Anne Hathaway looked really excellent in that dress of ours. It was quite exciting.”

We went to your American Express sponsored show during Fashion Week that was the Friday after your regular runway show . . .

“That was a much better show. More interesting. It was about being direct to the consumer.”

Q: Can you talk about the last dress that you added into the show that you didn’t show on the original runway?

A: “You build pieces, you build sculptures and you create them. When you are doing a fashion show you are communicating to the press, to the retailers, and to the critics. It’s a lot of different parts to play within your growth and things to balance out so you know sometimes things aren’t there yet. They need more time so you have to let them grow and you let them to build on themselves still and perfect them as you build pieces. And then they find their homes or find inspirations for new pieces.”  Zac Posen Watched the Rachel Zoe Show
