PFW diary: ‘80s poofs at Lanvin, shoe heaven at Sergio Rossi, Hogan and Roger Vivier
Lanvin finale shot by by Antonio de Moraes Barros Filho/Getty Images
Sometimes you look and something coming down the runway and just think, “Huh?”
That happened last night at Lanvin when a black and white floral pouf dress appeared at Alber Elbaz’s fall 2011 show. As I watched the booted mini pass by, my next thought was “‘80s Wayne Clark”. Then, I noticed that the outfit was on Freja Beha Erichsen, and since designers tend to put their most important outfits on the better-known models, I wondered: should we to take this look as directional? Will we be seeing more poufy, oversized florals on the spring 2012 runway? Hmmm….

Behind-the-scenes of Chanel’s very (faux) furry fall campaign
Photo via chanel-news.com
Chanel released behind-the-scenes images from their Fall 2010 campaign on their blog yesterday showing Freja Beha Erichsen and Abbey Lee Kershaw cavorting in the Lower East Side wearing a whole lot of fake fur. Karl Lagerfeld has Kershaw draped across a fire escape in furry pants or across a male model in full Sasquatch drag. In that shot, Kershaw is wearing a shorts suit and knee-high furry boots, an outfit that raises a question similar to my husband’s problem with half-sleeve coats: What weather is this appropriate for!? My answer: Who cares!

Fashion news: David Lynch directs Dior, Lagerfeld uses yellowface and Julia Roberts for Lancôme
Chanel’s Paris-Shanghai collection opened with a video–an imagined alternate history where Coco Chanel takes her first trip to China. In a potentially controversial move, Karl Lagerfeld styled his actors, including models Freja Beha Erichsen and Baptiste Giabiconi, as Chinese characters in yellowface. Lagerfeld defended his decision because of its homage to old films like The Good Earth and Madame Butterfly where European actors played Asian characters, saying, “People around the world like to dress up as different nationalities.” [WWD]
