Addicted to Chanel!

I mean, how could you possibly not be? Apparently, we are not the only ones crazy about Chanel. The genius behind Chanel, Mr. Karl Lagerfeld, had some of the most beautiful ladies at his Spring 2011 show. Kiera Knightley (how fab is her new short do!), our fave Rachel Bilson, Vanessa Paradis, Leigh Lezark, Alexa Chung, Clemence Posey and Claudia Schiffer (who doesn't seem to have aged a day) were among the many who have shown their support at the Grand Palais.

And she's baaaack!! Legendary model Ines de la Fressange, the face of Chanel back in the 80's, walked the show in a black sheer floor-length gown. Also, model Brad Kroenig and his son walked the runway in matching boucle, of course. Too cute!

Also, the setting of the show has not gone unnoticed. We found out from Jim Shi's tweets that the runway was 1148 feet long, covered in white gravel and faux black stone. The runway was so big, it took 5 minutes(!) for each model to complete the walk. The black-and white garden with fountains and a live orchestra accompanied more than 80 models strutting down the runway.

Chanel Spring 2011 Collection was magnifique (pardon my French)- no surprise here. We couldn't have been more delighted to see soft pink, peach, pale yellow, gold, sky blue and heaps of black and white of tweeds, chiffons, taffeta and feathers. Words cannot describe Mr. Lagerfeld's creations. We get the chills every time and his Spring 2011 RTW was definitely no exception.

Mr. Lagerfeld once said, "When I took over Chanel, nobody wanted it anymore. People said don't touch it, it's dead, it's over." Well, he definitely proved them wrong. We bow to you, Mr. Lagerfeld.
