Seriously?


From the Chanel 2008 Fall Couture Collection

Note to Readers:
With my last post about bridal beauty, my interest in wedding dresses was peaked. I thought I would look at some of the runway stills and see if anyone had bridal looks, and a few designers closed their shows with wedding dresses. Usually the last look of a fashion show is the most memorable and most dramatic, but this one is a little over the top. I appreciate dramatic looks as much as the next girl, and love the avant garde, but this is just too much. I can't even tell if the dress is pretty, I am too overwhelmed by tulle!

Note to Karl Lagerfeld:
Karl, you have brought us some of the most recognizable and chic designs of the century. Usually, when your name is said by me it is with a certain reverence, almost like I am not worthy of uttering it. When I started researching Chanel bridal looks, the picture above is what I found. I actually loved most of your 2008 Fall Couture Collection, but this piece was the one I felt inspired to write about. Maybe I just don't get it, but I think you would be hard pressed to find a bride that would wear this on her big day.

amen sister. amen. though i tried to stay pretty classic and did not go out on a ledge at ALL, i know without a doubt you could not pay me to wear this for my wedding. Ok, i guess it depends on HOW much debt we were in?

Maybe he was going for a "cloud" look or something that says "yes, I'm getting married and it overshadows everything that I am" or something like that. Not sure where he got his "inspiration" for this one. I'd like to pick his brains.

No kidding... I love tulle as much as the next girl but this is out of control.

Crazy how getting married now brings about an entirely new style of dress than say, five years ago, when I did it. I'd love to do it all over again and pick all new stuff.

Love the blog... keep it up.
