CHANEL 2011/ 2012 FALL/WINTER HAUTE COUTURE SHOW MAKEUP BY PETER PHILIPS.



“In the early stages of the Haute Couture Collection, a few key elements came up. Karl Lagerfeld mentioned the masculine/feminine silhouette, the decor (Place Vendôme), the fact that we were going to do a show at night and the flashlight shoes. That’s where the veil/burglar idea came from.  The focus is on the eyes, but through a veil. Skin is pure with a hint of blush and the lips are velvet peach. On the nails we used Chanel’s classic “Le Vernis – Blue Satin“, a timeless night blue. I wanted to create an eye that would read through a veil, that’s why I used “Illusion d’Ombre in Mirifique“, a pitch black with starlight sparkles. Eyes that see in the dark and nails the shade of night. And a soft touch of “Rouge Allure Velvet – La Furtive“, perfect for stealing kisses.”

Metropolis-Chanel Fall 2011 Couture Collection



Inspired by 1927 sci-fi classic Metropolis, Chanel's backdrop at its haute couture show was something out of a movie, and the clothing, something out of a dream. A very dark seductive dream filled with structured intricately shaped tweed, dark beading, and shades of grey, white, midnight blue and splashes of fuchsia. Can a classic tweed suit be taken from stuffy to smoking? Is it possible to take a time honored blue print and give it more detail, new shape, and continue every season to make it fresh? Karl does it every time.
