Chanel RTW ~ Reveals, Chit-chat & Info thread

[gracekelly]

This is why I worry that this jacket will not go the distance for me, I am seriously thinking if it's a classic. I hit 50 next year.

I think this is a jacket for a quirky kind of person, a women who always goes with the unexpected and can carry it off and look comfortable doing it. If this look is slightly out of a comfort zone and you don’t feel confident wearing it then it will show in your affect. I like the idea of wearing it in a totally casual way, but at this price point I would find that limiting. I also imagine my husband asking me why I was wearing half of a sailor suit.

Hahaha! I would be comfy wearing it for a few years, I know I can carry it off but into my 60s maybe not so much? Definitely very casual outfits for me and certainly not the whole suit. My DH has already asked why I want to wear a sailor jacket?! But I do like it a lot. I have a PM chat from a very long-time Chanel fan who is 2 decades younger and we are both worried about the longevity of this jacket. From my other mod pics do you think it would work for me, for now?

Maybe it’s just me, having grown up with Japanese cartoons sent to us on beta/VHS by my grandparents, but the whole outfit reminds me too much of a Sailor Moon character:

I agree with what all of you ladies are saying about the red and white sailor suit. I really am not feeling it at all, but it seems to be really popular as I see it everywhere. It's good news that I'm not feeling it though cos it means my wallet is safe (for now) That said, I the black and white knit

Sorry which B/W knit?

The tweed on the jacket is quite nice I could not pull it off. I wish the skirt wasn’t quite so short ...

Seeing this is all the more reason why a person my age (over 12) would not wear this sailor suit.

I couldn't agree with you more...

Are you seei it on the streets in real life or in blogger and fashion show pictures? The latter is not a true reflection of reality.

I think you'd look great in this jacket. I really like it in the various photos I've seen of women wearing it, and it is beautiful in person.

I totally agree with this. If anyone can pull it off, it would be Periogirl! If you wear it casually and kinda punk, like a thrift store find, it could look cool.

Real life... quite a number of them actually, at events etc

Thank you everyone for your input on my robot skirt dilemma! I really appreciate the input. I brought the skirt back to NM for further alterations, to fit it closer to the body. I am not going to touch the length just the sides and back and I think I will be happier with it.
After pinning, it gave the skirt a much more youthful look without touching the length. Fingers crossed!
I also got a chance to try the zig zag suit. It think it is too much (on me, I am not tall) as a suit. However, the jacket by itself is very, very comfortable and could be used dressed up or with jeans. Will think about it.

I am really wondering about all these Italian copycat looks with the Hamburg collection. I have noted Armani (checked suit) and Missoni in the knitwear. @911snowball l now i am seeing Missoni bargello patterns. They are all nice pieces, but if I want Italian designers, then I will shop them.

Shoot. I like the suit on you !!!!
