Fashion Videos

Many fashion designers have their catwalk shows filmed as high quality videos. These videos can then be accessed by fans via blogs and websites which makes them feel a little more involved.

Fashion Video may also involve television adverts, some of which use high quality effects which would all be edited digitally. For example the Chanel No.5’s advert on the Euro Star, when the silhouette of the perfume bottles flickers onto the wall or when the logo fades into the floor tiles, this would all be done with special effects.

The con to fashion videos, especially adverts such as this, is the cost as they are usually very highly produced and styled to a very high standard.

What would Coco say !!!!!

From the shock of liking Galliano to the shock of disliking Lagerfeld !!!
I never thought I'd say it but the Chanel Fall 2010 couture show was a complete and utter let down, every year there has been a reinvention of the LBD and Lagerfeld has always stuck to the flirty but very chic look that Coco brought to Chanel herself. It is also a very Parisian look which is obviously another huge concept of Chanel.


This year I saw the main influence coming from Russian historical garments , for example fur cuffs and fur trims, royal blues, Burgundy reds, big shoulders and rich gold embroidery.
I made this link while watching Anastasia with my sister which is about a Russian princess and as soon as I saw the collection I instantly thought of the film.


Also some of the stiff tailoring and thick fabrics remind be of outfits worn by Russian Kozak dancers and officers as they wore very similar jackets which sometimes also included fur or gold embroidery .
There was the odd dress or jacket that hinted at more classical Chanel like the tweed jackets and a slightly disappointing attempt at the LBD from Lagerfeld . But all in all I don't think the fall show was a patch on the spring couture but I'm sure this wont stop me popping into Chanel on my next trip to Sloane street .
