Chanel Couture- Neon Baroque

To say that Chanel couture this season was stunning would be a gross understatement. I want to hang pictures of it on my wall to gaze at. Called Neon Baroque the collection features all pastels and silver.

Lace, Lesage embroidery, silver boots with pearl trim , chrome nails and lips done in the new , soon to released Rouge Allure Luminous Satin Lipcolor. It's all there. I loved it down to the sparkling stockings. Each season Chanel does the most amazing stockings it seems.

The lipcolor shade is Genial and the nails are Le Vernis Nail Colour in Silver . Silver is a why, oh why, is it not available in the US shade ? Look how sleek it is on the nails. We need this here.

Eyes are:

-Ombres Contraste Duo in Gris-Subtil (To launch in 2010)
-Le Crayon Khol Intense Eye Pencil in Graphite
-Inimitable Mascara Multi-Dimensional in Black

Cheeks:
-Les Tissages de Chanel Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Corail


Some amazing details about the time and work that went into these looks:



“Hidden” seams. It takes 3 hours to hand-stitch these seams along one meter of fabric. To make the “hidden seams” of some pieces took 35 hours of work in the atelier."

and
"Silver threads or silver paint on embroidered satin" , " Silver stucco effect for the baroque touch"
