Nothing like Spring time in Paris! The first hints of the fresh season are in the air as Paris Fashion Week dominates and captivates the City of Lights. All the major designers have shows for this period, including the Karl Langerfeld’s Haute Couture Collection for Chanel. 
There were certain traits, such as blue tones and wide, loose collars, which dominated the collection. These designs are modern twists on classic Chanel looks of the past. Fashionably funky tweed pants and skirts suits were also popular as were bubble sleeves, and ruffles and other 3D, texturized fabrics.
While some of these ensembles were obviously over-the-top ensembles, many of the looks could be obviously and easily translated into less outrageous, more accessible looks. This is largely the appeal of any Chanel collection; while it is bold and over-the-top on the runway, it still appears like doable fashion to the audience at the show and abroad. Although these ensembles were accented by spiky hairdos and towering heels, their innate elegance was not overwhelmed by these accessories.
At Paris Fashion Week 2012, Chanel once again showcases a classic, elegant collection that any fashionista may imagine herself wearing.
