Chanel's runway show for the spring/summer 2017 collection just showed this morning in Paris and it's already confusing me. This season's theme, Data Center Chanel, should instead be called "Back to the Future, because all I can think of is my high-school obsession with Daft Punk. 

The collection was filled with separates in tweed, some lacy hems and a lazerbeam print that cringingly reminds me of the terrible school photo backgrounds that I begged my mom for, year after year. 

Karl isn't a like, a regular designer, he's a cool designer and decider to even free the nipple, because he's down with the kids.

I'm not sure what this is all about but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with his friendship with the Kardashians, our ever-expanding obsession with the digital universe and an overwhelming desire to get naked on the internet. Humans  Millennials love scandal. With the overwhelming power of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and other digital platforms, Karl has taken to updating the vision of Chanel, mocking our constant need to be connected.  

2016 marks the integral moment when the house of Dior finally appoints a female design to the helm of it's oh-so successful ready-to-wear and couture designs. The house built by Christian Dior in 1947, one based on a feminine silhouette that empowered women with a "New Look" of nipped waists and ample skirts celebrating the female form, welcomes Italian designer Maria Grazia Chiuri to take over 60 years after its' creation.

As with all great fashion brands, Dior is a house shrouded in controversy with a touch of drama. John Galliano's bias-cut dresses, passion for historical references, and a flair for the dramatic created some of the most beautiful, elaborate, and profitable collections the company had ever seen. In the last few years, however, handbags and accessories have become the money-makers, a fact that the CEO of Christian Dior Couture is well aware of. 

Adecade at the helm of Lancel, a french-based handbag company, offered him the opportunity to learn what women looked for in a handbag. Quick to catch on to the needs of the clients, the year following his arrival to Christian Dior, he would oversee the introduction of the house's now-iconic bag, the Lady Dior. Wife of French President Jacques Chirac gifted the bag to Princess Diana, and the rest is, as they say, history. 

Le luxe ne connait pas la crise.
