Chanel for Men Spring 07

We are all are familiar with our dear lord and savior, Karl Lagerfeld. The amazing work he has done for Fendi, Chloe, Lagerfeld Gallery, Chanel. But for three seasons now he has taken his pencils and turned his demure and luxurious palette to his own sex and is perfected the art of dressing a gentleman. Well yesterday, in Paris he took it to the next level.

True this make come as not only a shock but a break from conventional gentlemanliness. I do not think that really matters. What matters is that we men can finally wear Chanel and it doesn't mean stealing from our girlfriends collections of oversized cashmere Chanel cardigans. We can buy our own...

I am aware that the previous collections for men, available at the SoHo Chanel store and Chanel in Paris, was slightly too effeminate. Boucle blazers for men, dior homme like shirting unfinished and trailer trashy at much too high a cost. Well now Karl has decided that being a man is all about being a gentleman. In style, but not stylized. Comfortable, but not casual. Chic, but not over the top. This capsule collection shown during Paris Fashion week is stunning and impeccable and totally covetable!








There is a certain rock and roll about the elegance of the lines, and fits of the collections. There is also very un-Karl like over tones of more masculine dominance and possession of your wardrobe, wearing the clothing and not letting it wear you. We all love Karl for his style, but sometimes I cannot help but think he looks like a clown when he dresses himself. There is no chance of that here. Truly masculine in many senses of the word, I think this is near perfection.
