Chanel RTW ~ Reveals, Chit-chat & Info thread

[ari]

Beautiful as usual ari! The greige blazer has my interest too. Do you by any chance remember what the buttons looked like? I’m thinking they were non logo, but jeweled however I can’t recall.

Thank you Michele! They were like silver, but can’t remember very well!

Everything looks amazing! do you happen to have details of the greige blazer?

Thank you! I’ll ask my SA and get back to you!

What a decision! You looked amazing in everything.

Thank you Gracekelly!

Omg they all look good on you! Pink also!

Thank you Zaraha!

@ari - You should be a Chanel model! Everything looks incredible on you. Can't go wrong with any of those pieces.

Thank you Tyler! This collection is really nice for me.

I love the lesage metiers coat the best. You look lovely in everything! I’m not keen on the straggly edges of the other black jacket.

Thank you Karenaellen ! I agree the coat is amazing!

Thank you Hanash. I have the same style in short jacket in a different weed. It's a nice and feminine shape on me. The pockets are flattering on someone who is flat-chested
I agree that it has a different look from the jacket in this material. Because of the buttons, there is only one trim exposed, hence less golden, It's also a more feminine line.

Please could you share the code of the coat - I’m keeping a wish list of things that I’d like to try find!

Assortment of random items/try on today. Observations:
1) Light pink from pre-fall is gorgeous, as you ladies observed. And, as you observed, the tinsel took me by surprise - felt kind of "festive", maybe too festive for everyday? but the shape, shade of pink, and overall fit were incredible.
2) Gray short coat - was one size too large for me (I'm a 38 and only 40 left) but I actually loved the oversized fit. The tailor said the shoulders and fit can be easily adjusted. I love the subtle shimmer in the gray and the fact the hood is removable, kind of like having 2 in 1.
3) Black denim with zipper at the ankle - fit was surprisingly nicely! not too high rise, stretchy yet holds you in in all the necessary places, if you know what I mean I was very tempted but only deterrent was the care label - because this is actually white denim dyed black, the care level stated color transfer was likely and not to wear with any light colors... 50%+ of my tops are white shirts, not sure how well I can manage with a high maintenance pair of denim
4) White top was incredible! Same one @ClassicTwist looks fabulous in. The buttons are hidden but are mother of pearl and are so lovely. I wonder if you can wear the top both ways, with the buttons at the back as intended and in the front (I didn't try in on this way because I only thought of it on my way out)
4) Skirt from cruise collection (they didn't have the matching jacket) - very nice but fit wasn't right on me. I'm sure this could be easily altered but without the matching jacket, there wasn't much wow.
5) White and black cardigans - both lovely! I liked the fit of the shorter one but wished it came in black (Does it? does anyone know?)
6) Pink jacket from the metiers collection stole my whole heart. My color palette is mainly black, white, and all shades of gray but this jacket was something else. I totally get what all the fuss is about

Thanks for letting me share!

That Metier D’art jacket is amazing on you. As everything else, but the color of that jacket is delicious!

I think it’s the same as the black above posted by Classic twist

I didn't see this coat yesterday in our store. I just did a bathroom renovation and the pattern reminds me of subway tiles a bit. (I didn't use subway tiles but they are everywhere.)
The black tweed is however amazing.

Yes I will find later today (with kids right now) and take a pic. FWIW, Bergdorf had a 38 last week when I walked by.

Ah I wish I could swap the grey coat. I bought a 38 because there was no 40. My SA convinced me it was fine on the shoulders lol. I just had to get the sleeves taken up.

This coat is gorgeous and it looks good on you...so cozy. I'm a little jealous. My boutique only received black and I didn't think I needed another black winter coat.

Here you go:

Thanks - you are a star. I’ll see if it is available in the UK! I must say I’ve not seen it but often not everything is on display

 

[tanya^luv^purse]

Everything looks fantastic! I hope you got the pink jacket and the white cardigan because those pieces on you really stood out to me

Me too

Great photos and observations- so often I go in to try on a specific Chanel item and end up falling unexpectedly for another Chanel clothing treasure! All look lovely on you

Thank you, ladies!

Ha! I think it looks lovely on you and shoulders look good as well! The shoulder has this sloughy fit, which I think makes the fit flexible.

I went back to take it

Thank you!! Interestingly, I tried the black version, same as @ClassicTwist posted, and has exactly same observation that while the tweed is beautiful, the shape of this overwhelmed me completely. I wear double breasted blazers but this one felt more like a coat. I think it's the length? And I don't think it can be altered because of where the buttons are placed. But that gray tweed is so

Could it be that the black is a bit heavier tweed? I tried a size bigger and I didn’t like it as much as the greige. But I generally don’t like black too much. I’ll post pictures later next week.

Can’t wait to see your pictures! The black tweed seems longer compared to the greige in pictures, is that the case? I tried the greige in a size up and I don’t recall thinking it was too long. I regret not taking a pic at the time
