Chanel Fall Collection; 2011/1911

-Posted by D.C. Worth, for Barbay (France/US)

Caption: Slouchy tweed jackets and Lacy dresses; in a shadowy palette, against a background of a fog-shrouded forest... 1911?


-Written for 2011 (below)

-Chanel’s Fall, Karl Lagerfeld collection; wrapped in all of the colors of fall...

NOTE: Before I forget... It's a good time to roll back the pre/post 1911 Bankster policy... Scrap the transfer of power; as Baking Cartel (and cronies) beg for more bailouts!

Such mischief continues the work of scoundrels...

ADDED: Where-by "opportunity of crisis" brought "public subservience" of a centralized Banking system… Hence, promotion of bigger government through spending made possible by ever increasing money creation...

A little [History] seems to reveal that actions in 1911, could have made a significant difference today, in rolling-back "the fourth branch of government" — a branch of government that unconstitutionally made and enforced its own laws, using federal power…

It should therefore be fashionable to scrap it.. :D

Canvas of Lacroix, Gautier, & Cavalli

-Posted by D. Worth (US) | for- M. Barbay (France) (US trip)

We've created pieces of silk lace tulle, under jersey, scarves, and whisper shawls of pewter tulle, and then of gold tulle. A sort-of detail of 90’s, inspired by some (though less revealing) older Cavalli...



I'm seeing a designer's new diversification of magnificent quality fabrics, hand done, for a world more creative... A canvas of self-expression...

Gautier and Valentino appeal to crisis spirit... #
"But the crisis is the time when one should create new ways of doing things," said Gaultier... As French couturier Franck Sorbier put on a much more limited show, and even dipped into his stocks of ribbons and fabrics to pull together the collection despite the crisis...read.
