Chanel Paris Fashion Week - Fall/Winter 2011

Chanel's Fall Winter 2010/2011 Show was amazing, with the models walking on the runway alongside an iceberg. And it was not just any iceberg, Karl Lagerfeld imported a 265-ton iceberg from the northern reaches of Sweden to Paris' Grand Palais to creating an expensive and highly elaborate set especially for the show.

The theme of the collection was the global warming or ‘the global cooling’ as Karl Lagerfeld called it.

The other great thing about the show was, all the fur used the whole Autumn/Winter collection was faux, right down to those monstrous snow boots. We love when a designer spares animal cruelty.

We want to see Karl Lagerfield design a great non-leather accessories collection next.


Like always, the collection was amazing feminine and classy. Accessories were perfect. Jewelry was very similar to little pieces of ice, sparkling and mysterious.

Waist Cinching Belt

Spotted Sandra Bullock (Update 26 July 2009), Bipasha and Sonam in a simple, stylish dress with waist-cinching belt. They are looking very feminine, pretty and classy. The dresses are ultra-feminine and stylish.
.
Fitted waists look very stylish and are the best way to pep-up your look, add colour, add interest and a way to recreate you outfi. An easy way to create one is with a wide belt. Dig one out and wear it with flowing dresses or skirts. They define your waist and may also work by camouflaging your problem area.

Sandra Bullock looked fab in her Michael Kors wrap dress that is cinched with a black belt at her waist and Azzedine Alaia platform sandals. The cinched belt add focus to her narrow waist and totally flatters her figure.

When it comes to fashion, this girl sure scores over most of the girls in Bollywood and yup she does it again.

Sonam looked absolutely gorgeous and so very cute in a cinched waist Polka Dot dress at Delhi 6 press meet at Dubai. The red lips, Chanel's jumbo flap bag, a chunky Cartier (men's) watch and hoop earrings perfected the look.

How to wear?

Waist-cinching belt with a nice dress or even a shirt or top is a great way to look stylish. It creates the illusion of a tiny waist. And the best part is, it's easy to take this look from day to night.
.
Tip: Revamp your little black dress by pairing it with a colourful (even metallic) waist cinching belt and matching shoes. You don't need to spend extra on a whole new dress. Shop smarter, and use accessories to create new looks with same wardrobe.
.
After all, recession doesn't mean you have to look boring.

Sexy Bob is not an Oxymoron

Keira Knightley as the new Chanel woman sports the classic bob with sex appeal. Proof, that the bob hairstyle is back and not just for the preppy folks on the tennis court. A slightly layered bob with side-swipe bangs with loads of curl. A haircut that passes "the finger test," even without Keira's gorgeous look, the hairstyle works on its own.

Also, just a note that Keira has said that her breasts in this photo aren't hers.

“Those things certainly weren’t mine. We had an interesting discussion when they said: ‘We want to make them slightly larger and you’ll get approval’ and I was like: ‘OK, fine. I honestly don’t give a sh*t’.”

“I don’t have any t*ts, so I can’t show cleavage.”

We here at Hair Obsessed appreciate her honesty and her flair for the English language and its slangy terms.
