Diary of a Fashionista: Chanel Cruise Dubai 2015

Karl Lagerfeld is one of those designers who is able to bring the house of Chanel to any country and make it adapt. We have seen collections in Shanghai, Antiqua, Scotland and Dallas; each one bringing the culture and traditions associated with that place into the clothes.

Dubai seemed perfect for a middle-eastern take on a Chanel show. Staying close to the brand's DNA with the tweed mixed fabrics, Karl worked in the rich and luxury of the fabrics inspired by Arabian prints from the 12-13th centuries combining them with the minuscule details, whether it be embellishments to the must-have balloon trousers.

The collection reminded me of Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra, especially the head-pieces and the richness of the details.
